I hope I can get out there and help the team that way, because we're a better team when I'm out there, ... Hopefully, one day, I'll wake up and feel better.

They brought it up in the beginning. This is how it happened in L.A. (where he played with the Dodgers from 1998-2002). They wanted to sign me to an extension; I didn't go to them. But when I didn't want to go through with it, I'm the bad guy, the greedy guy.

That would be devastating to me. I should be able to come back quicker than if it was a hamstring. I'm going to get the anti-inflammatories and see how I feel tomorrow.

I'm sure everybody in a family has a person in their family that has a problem ? drug related or whatever. He happens to be the one. It's just one of those things where when he hurts, I hurt.
Gary Sheffield -
I'm fine. Just got to take it easy and not overdo it.
Gary Sheffield -
I'm not like most people around here who politick with you guys.

I've tried (to help). I've put him in rehab. I've spent a lot of money to do that. I've been there for him. But it comes to a point where you've just got to let him go through what he's got to go through. The family has tried everything.

I don't want anybody to take my kindness as a weakness. Like I said before, this is where I want to be, but don't test me. It never was a done deal. It was a possibility. I'm happy about that. But there's two sides to that. On one side, I trust you, but don't play me. I don't care who it is, if it's the Boss, if it's him, don't play me. There are plenty of other teams out there that want my services ... that's the bottom line.

If I have to, I will. I'll do whatever the law (requires) me to do, but other than that, it's a waste of my time.
Gary Sheffield -
I felt it cramp up on me. I tried to start over and regroup, but I just stopped before I hurt it more. I thought maybe I'd pull it if I kept going. Getting up and walking off myself was a good sign. I haven't had many problems with my legs.

Imagine if you came to work and you wanted to be positive, and somebody made a positive situation negative. I don't want to be negative. I've been fighting for 17 years, always negative. Why can't I have something positive done?
Gary Sheffield -
I'm not going to defend myself the rest of my life.
Gary Sheffield -
He stepped up big for us, we're not surprised by what he's done.
Gary Sheffield -
I really don't care what they do, to be honest with you.

I've had this happen before. I'll give it one day and be ready to go (today).
Gary Sheffield -
I want everybody to be on an even playing field.
Gary Sheffield -
Do you believe everything somebody tells you? Basically you want me to comment on it. My version, I don't have one. What version do I need to have for you all to be satisfied?
Gary Sheffield -
It did help. I didn't have to think about defense. I felt good today. I felt strong in my last at-bat.

To happen in New Orleans, being so close to Tampa, it could have easily been me or my family. I just thought, how could I sit and flip the channel and watch a football game and go on with my average day when people are out of homes and everything they've got? To turn my back on it would be a tragedy in itself.
Gary Sheffield -
I felt it (tighten) when I first took off and I tried to slow down,

I'm definitely excited. With our offense, we feel like we can accomplish anything. We tried to jump a big hurdle last year, we had a lot of pitchers injured. Unfortunately, our offense wasn't able to take us all the way through.
Gary Sheffield -
I am done doing that, ... I don't see it getting any better.
Gary Sheffield -
It's very difficult to do, especially when you get up in age, to go back out every single day with the same intensity.

My prayers are with my uncle. I pray that he will seek and receive the help he so desperately needs.
