Oh Sheffy-Cakes...



Gary Sheffield has voiced his unhappiness with platooning at DH in Detroit. Manager Jim Leyland struck back that he is "flabbergasted" with Sheff's remarks.



I'm flabbergasted that Leyland is flabbergasted. This is Gary Sheffield. He's unhappy when he doesn't get to see the same snowflake twice. He gets angry when the moon doesn't float up in the sky at 11 am and then claims it was installed incorrectly. He's punches holes in walls because he's pissed he hasn't already punched holes in walls, even though he's not even punching walls but police horses.

I'm hoping that the reporters just misquoted Leyland. Literally misquoted him. Maybe he was ""flabbergasted"". The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage needs to figure out how to address the sarcastic airquotes issue STAT.
