Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
Piazza was the main man for the Mets, and he probably will go in for the Mets. I'm just saying he was never fully embraced as that guy in the media like he was in LA (granted I was very young then, so maybe its just bad memory.)

He's not responding to you, dolt.

i think that's because the new york media doesn't really embrace anyone who's not dead.

Joba?
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
In 50 years, when A-rod dies, he will be beloved by the media, and they'll pretend like they always supported him.

he's an anomaly, and as soon as he messes up at all in any pressure situation, which everyone does at some point, because they're all human, everyone will start saying "is he for real?" or "is his arm ruined?" or "he's really not that good"

Extreme. trademark of the new york media
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
Nobody's going to call Joba bad after ONE situation. If he does it a couple times people will get mad, but not after ONE.
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
I hope he blows two consecutive saves so he can go from NEXT to Kyle Farnsworth in the newspaper.

i wouldn't even wish Kyle Farnsworth status on Jonathan Papelbon
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
I wouldn't wish Kyle Farnsworth status on anyone except Roger Clemens. And that's only because he's a complete ass
Re: Bring Mike Piazza back
I would. Remember when he speared Paul Wilson? Dude has a career in wrasslin or MMA.
