Sheffield remains fightin' mad at Tribe

Cleveland pitcher Fausto Carmona was suspended six games and Detroit slugger Gary Sheffield was penalized four games Monday for their brawl last week.
Indians catcher Victor Martinez and infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (Asdrubal Cabrera spelled backwards is 'arerbac laburdsa') were suspended three games each and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball. (juuuust in time to get back for the critical three-game series against the Sox....Any bets on how good those fuckers will be when they come back? I'm guessing Ted Williams with a hint of Mantle)
Sheffield was hit by a pitch from Carmona last Friday night in Cleveland. (that's a damn shame) Moments later, the designated hitter charged the mound from first base, starting a bench-clearing scrap.
"I've been in a lot of brawls, being a peacemaker, (oooooooooooooooh bruddah!) and when someone's back is to you, you pull them away — that's what you are supposed to do (hm...must have missed that chapter in the "Asshole's Guide to Brawling" book. In that same book, does it mention that you're not supposed to be a cro-magnon, knuckle-dragging piece of shit that charges the pitcher?) ," said Sheffield, who won't appeal.
"You don't take cheap shots (you give them!), and that's what happened. When I find out who it was (Please, God, let it be Garko or Hafner...please?), they are going to have to deal with me," he said. ( Carmona and Martinez will appeal their penalties, which were to have started Monday. (great! So Carmona will be ready for a start against the Sox! Awesome! THANKS MLB!)
Sheffield started sitting out Monday night (just like he planned. That dicksmoke was phoning it in by mid-summer. Why not charge the mound and get to vacation sooner? Brilliant.). He needs three homers to reach 500, but said he didn't consider appealing. "We're not going to be in the playoffs (shake that off, by the way, fucko), so it is best to get it over and have a clean slate next year," he said.
Sheffield said he wasn't worried that his apparent threats might draw further discipline."I don't care about what the league thinks or what they do," he said. "I've got enough money to pay any fine they've got. Trust me." (Anybody else think the commissioner should fine him three year's salary? Show of hands?....let's see, one, two, thr....Wow. Every single rational person in the entire fucking world? Hm, go figure.)
