Cliff Floyd continues to grab headlines


This has been a fairly interesting postseason, from the Brewers reaching the playoffs for the first time in 25 years to the rumble last night between Philadelphia and Los Angeles. It almost takes the attention for the Victoria Times staff away from Cliff Floyd. Look! He's in a verbal spat with David Ortiz!
"I'm telling you, I saw faces different tonight than what I saw in the regular season." Ortiz noted.
"If we lose, we lose because we didn't perform. Not one person out here is scared," Rays DH and semi-Papi Cliff Floyd said before Game 2 on Saturday at the Trop. "Scared of what? We weren't supposed to do nothing, remember?"
Wow! None of that made any sense! The article goes on.
"I haven't studied nobody's face the whole damn season - my whole career. The only person I try to study is the pitcher."
He added, "I can tell you one thing, and this is from the bottom of my heart - we were expletive ready to play yesterday. We just got beat - by a good team and a good pitcher. Period."
The best part is that the way this was written, it appears that Cliffy actually said "expletive". More on this as it develops, particularly if I ever figure out what the big deal is.
