The Sheffield Saga

For the past two days the New York Media has been infatuated with the idea of the Yankees possibly dealing Gary Sheffield. For the most part, Yankee fans have been outraged and why shouldn’t they be? Sheffield has proven himself as a “Yankee,” and after a season which landed him second in the MVP voting, he has come back again with a first-half only out done by Alex Rodriguez’s gargantuan start. So why would the Yankees, who season has already been the definition of tumultuous rock the boat even more? Is there something we are missing. All I know is that throughout the year Sheffield has not seemed happy. You only have to look to this past Sunday to see the culmination of Sheff’s frustration. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and how the anger Sheffield displayed after hearing the trade rumors will affect his production.

Only a week after this incident Rogers was selected by AL Manager Terry Francona to represent the American League in the All-Star Game. A lot has happen in the last week or so, and now lets take some time to figure out whether Rogers really should be playing in Detroit on July 12th.

A Classic Wimbledon Final

It began at 10:00 on a Saturday morning. It was poorly advertised and unfortunatly fell on the beginning of the fourth of July weekend. Because of all of these reasons, I am guessing (haven’t seen any ratings) that not many people tooned in to see the Wimbledon woman’s final between Lindsay Davenport and Venus Williams. For all those who did, you know it was an amazing match that contained all the intangibles that true sports fans look for in championship matches.
