Gary Sheffield has asked the Mets for a contract extension, and the club was unwilling to meet the request.
Sheffield asked Jerry Manuel to be removed from tonights starting lineup to ‘clear his thoughts’.
Sorry, Gary, the contract you signed is still in effect. Play the games.
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O. Has this game been played before? Good bye.
Sure Gary, we’ll sit you. BTW, I hope you don’t mind not being paid for not working tonight.
