Who likes sippin' d's?
And no it isn't Piazza so guess again.

First...

quote:
In the last 24 hours, there has been a lot of fuss about comments by manager Bobby Valentine that appeared in the New York Post, excerpted from the upcoming June issue of Details magazine.
In the interview, which Valentine says was done in written format during spring training, he states that Major League Baseball is "probably ready for an openly gay player."
Post gossip columnist Neal Travis opted to stir the pot on this issue, speculating that Valentine may be warming fans up for the possible 'coming out' of one of his star players. Travis then fed the fire by rehashing a tired rumor about Mike Piazza, although he did not mention Piazza by name.
Valentine was surprised at the uproar over the comments. "I said yes, I thought the players were refined enough to handle it," he said. "That was it. Nothing more, nothing less."


And then...

quote:

Piazza: 'I'm not gay'

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Responding to questions and rumors about his sexual orientation, Mike Piazza said Tuesday night that the major leagues are ready for gay players but he's not one of them.
``I'm not gay. I'm heterosexual,'' the New York Mets All-Star catcher said before playing the Philadelphia Phillies.

Piazza, who wanted to set the record straight about his sexual orientation, said he's aware of the rumors but doesn't know why they started.
``I can't control what people think. I date women,'' Piazza said.

He also agrees with Mets manager Bobby Valentine that players can accept an openly gay teammate.
``In this day and age, it's irrelevant,'' he said. ``I don't think it would be a problem at all.''

Piazza's sexual orientation became an issue Monday when the New York Post suggested Valentine's remarks about gays in an upcoming magazine article could be a prelude to one of his players saying he is homosexual. The newspaper said that, ``There is a persistent rumor around town that one Mets star who spends a lot of time with pretty models in clubs is actually gay and has started to think about declaring his sexual orientation.''

In the June/July issue of Details, not yet on newsstands, Valentine said baseball is ``probably ready for an openly gay player.''

``The players are a diverse enough group now that I think they could handle it,'' he said.

Valentine reiterated his belief Tuesday night.
``We are all big boys. We can handle it,'' he said.

Phillies manager Larry Bowa isn't so sure baseball is ready to accept gay players.

``If it was me, I'd probably wait until my career was over,'' Bowa said. ``I'm sure it would depend on who the player was. If he hits .340, it probably would be easier than if he hits .220.''


My guess is Brady Anderson even though he just got released. He was in Baltimore and he was just in Cleveland so they are pretty big markets.

Anyone want to guess.

Jay Mohr's response of "Roberto Alomar" couldn't have been more nonchalant.

for a guy who works at ESPN, I'll trust it.

Sam Champion is probably the gay weatherman the gay Met is dating though.

I know a lot of fans get sensitive when players on a team they love is accused of swallowing rope, and for that reason I shall not accuse anybody on any team of doing any such thing. But I just thought I'd post an article that ran last year in the New York Post and see what you all thought about it.

Piazza Loves Thought of Gonzo at Shea Tom Keegan -- NYPost
November 28, 2001 -- LOOK at the Mets' swiss cheese batting order and then look at the pool of free agents and it keeps coming back to one name: Juan Gonzalez.

The Mets need power. Gonzalez has it. The Mets need another hitter of Mike Piazza's caliber. Gonzalez fits the description. The Mets need more star power. Again, Juan Gone's got it.

"You're preaching to the choir, dude," Mike Piazza said yesterday when all that Gonzalez would bring the Mets was enumerated for him. "I love that guy."

Piazza said "I love that guy" eight times in a nine-minute span of Gonzalez. Sure, he would love to have Barry Bonds, too, but the way he talked about Gonzalez it was obvious that in Piazza's mind, Juan's the one.

"How awesome would he look in pinstripes?" said Piazza, meaning the Mets' pinstripes. "That big hulking body with his freaking King Kong arms. I love that guy."

Piazza tried to play the good soldier. He kept repeating that he is just a player and it's not up to him to put together a roster. He talked about how he understands that finances will make it tough to land a big fish.

Then when the name Juan Gonzalez was mentioned, he threw away all that and sounded like a kid standing in line waiting to get his favorite player's autograph.

"I love that guy, man, I love that guy," Piazza said again and again. "It's unfortunate he's had some back problems. That's the only thing, but nobody comes without risks. That's just a fact of life."

The Mets have too many other holes, especially in the starting rotation, to fill to justify trading their bargaining chips for a slugger when they can get a top-shelf one without parting with anything but money.

The Mets have gone to great lengths to reach out to various ethnic groups by having nights in honor of different groups. Sign Gonzalez and every night would be Puerto Rican Pride Night at Shea Stadium.

"It's a natural," Piazza said. "He's like a Latin rock star to me. I love that guy. I know I've heard from several sources that he's got his moods and things like that."

That's the same sort of nonsense that was said about Piazza before he came to the Mets.

"Exactly," Piazza said. "You know what, when you're that good you're going to have some people take some shots at you that may or may not be true. The bottom line is that kind of player can just carry you.

"With Al [Leiter] on this team and Johnny [Franco] these guys have a way of making it easy on everybody. And Bobby [Valentine], too. It's a team thing. As great as an individual can be, you have to have a team. I don't think anybody on this team, through good times and bad times, has ever felt they were alone."

Piazza got to know Gonzalez a few offseasons ago on a trip to Japan.

"I think he's funny," Piazza said. "I think he's a good dude. He's an amazing player. When he's healthy, he absolutely carries a team. He just rakes. He's as good a hitter as anybody in the game. I love that guy."
Please note, I am not accusing ANY player of anything, but I'd be a little concerned if someone were saying stuff like this over another man. But Piazza came out today and denied it all so I guess it can't possibly be him.

It's completely unrelated, but I'm convinced Mike Bibby of the Kings is flaming.

I think the stat is something like 1 in every 8 men is gay. There's about 750 baseball players in the MLB, meaning there's 94 queers in MLB; or an average of 3 per team.

Oh yeah,

Also unrelated, Ricky Williams is definitely gay.

As to the baseball issue, who the fuck cares if its Piazza or not. If the guy hits .330 and jacks 40 homers, he can suck as much cock as he wants, as long as the Mets will be in the World Series and he performs well.

Although if its Ordonez, i think we should hang him and set him on fire. :-D

Geez, just because Piazza has been out to dinner with Alf, does not mean he is gay already.

The Brady Anderson rumor was going around Baltimore while he was there.
He hit 50 HRs in 95 then 18,18,24,19, and 8 in the next 5 years. If he isn't gay he may as well be.

Alomar's been banging Mary Pierce, the tennis player. So, he might be a desperate heterosexual, but probably not a homosexual. It ain't Piazza. The obvious answer is Ordonez, but I think it's what Met fans WANT to hear as it would explain alot, not sure if it is the truth, though. Jay Payton PLAYS gay. Maybe it's him. Or Mike Bordick. God, a guy who almost made me long for Ordonez has GOT to be a fruit.

Tino Martinez' voice always made me think he was gay, but then I think he's married with kids. Same can be said for Barry Bonds and his voice and wife and kids. Brady Anderson has always been a rumor, wouldn't surprise me. Rafael Palmeiro uses Viagra. A guy whose dick puttered out that early in life had to have used it alot, and it can't be from chicks cuz as we all know, no chick agrees to bang that often, so maybe it's him. Of course, he could also have banged alot of chicks one time each, but that's unheard of for a star baseball player, as we all know. Still, his voice pisses me off, so he's gay. What about Keith Hernandez' voice? Sounds like a fudge packer to me, even if he is the greatest defensive 1B of all time. And, of course, can't forget everyone's favorite rumored to be a fag baseball player of all time, Le Grande Faggot, Rusty Staub.

I gaurantee there's more than one, though, and they're probably not that famous and/or good. My prediction: Lenny Harris. [Norton] With his meaty body, who wouldn't want to tussle his hair? [/Norton]

Everyone is tryin to figure out who the ONE gay player is. Isnt it a high probability that there are a few of them in MLB? With that many players across the league, there must be more than 1.



EDIT: I vote for Alomar

Anderson fit the profile of the original magazine article - a high profile player, not a staron an east coast team.
Except for people ragging on Piazza, I don't know why they picked on him - he doesn't fit the "not a star" profile.

God damn, that story on Juan Gonzalez if frightening taking it out of context.

We should think about doing that anyway.

Finally: Hanging out with Alf doesn't mean your gay, its all the time he spends with Terry Bradshaw that gets you wondering...

Damn, can sportscenter PLEASE not interview 2 different gossip columnists on their show? Nobody fucking cares if hes a homo or not. And i really hope that Mike Piazza "fans" dont turn their back on him now that this issue has come up, cause he doesnt deserve that.
