Gary Sheffield surprised the media today when he opened his big mouth. Sheffield, who is ever more famous for speaking his mind, had some words about former agent Scott Boras.

     "My family has been trying to get me to walk away for a while now because they don't like the negative stuff that comes my way. I love it," Sheffield said. "I try to explain it to them, but they think that's some psychotic thing."

    It's beginning to seem like "some psychotic thing," because Sheffield cant seem to miss an opportunity to run his mouth.  Shef called his former agent a "bad person" claiming that Boras wants money he does not deserve. Sheffield has been involved in a legal suit with Boras and claims that when it's over he will reveal "ugly things" on several subjects.

    It's time for a reality check Gary! First of all, everyone knows that Boras has a marred reputation. A-Rod hasn't spoken to Boras since his Yankees opt-out disaster. Kenny Rogers fired him for negligibly shopping him around the league when Rogers' wanted only to negotiate with Detroit. This isn't to say that he is in fact a bad person, just a simple observation. I frankly don't care one bit about Boras and the rest of the public doesn't need Sheffield to make up their minds for them.

    Sheffield is simply a guy who wants attention. He must perceive himself as a noble vigilante, when he in fact is just a public agitator. Sheffield has made headlines with comments regarding the steriod probe as a "witch hunt" to nail Barry Bonds and Joe Torre treating black players differently than whites. How many more headline attempts will he make until he is satisfied with himself?

    At one point Sheffield seemed to have reached a point of enlightenment when he said, "Actually, I'm not supposed to be talking about this at all," too good to be true. He followed this good idea with,  "But, I am anyway."

    I say Gary shouldn't be allowed to talk about anything from now on.
