Interesting that A-ROD said that steroids were the culture in Texas in 2002-2003. Also interesting that those were the two years that Mark Texeria broke in with a big bang in Texas. Interesting story to follow.
Not lurking at all. I happen to be a personal friend of Kevin Burkhardt (we both live on the Jersey shore and used to work together) from SNY and his sources tell him the Steinnbrenners are besides themselves not knowing what to do with this dilemna.
There were 103 other names on that list. I, for one, will thoroughly enjoy your backtracking once you find out that your guys did it too. Of course, there's not much for you to worry about anyways, since there aren't many accomplishments by Mets players from the last few years that are in danger of being tainted. My best bet is Piazza. Or maybe Beltran.
Dubious sounding source, yes, but a trustworthy poster on a very low-key and non-spammy Mets message board I frequent mentioned that his wife said "that the word in Puerto Rico is that Beltran is on that list." It sure wouldn't surprise me in the least. Point is, as Exit said in the other thread, don't expect the rest of us Mets fans to cash checks that this idiot JoeJet keeps writing.
^ bwahahahahhaha Joejet, you are a complete clown dude. I kind of defended you back in the day....but I can no longer. I cannot wait til the first met gets named. What are you going to say then? I trul believe that you think this whole steroid thing in baseball is a yankee issue......how retarded is that
If Piazza were on the list, roid rage would've taken over and he would've rushed the mound when Clemens threw the bat at him.
seriously yanks fans, lets keep it classy, pretty much all of the mets fans have been civil about this.
Yes steroids were the culture in Texas.... do guys like Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez, Carl Everett jump out at you? They were all on that Texas team as was a guy named Rafael Palmiero who in case you live in a cave got busted a few years ago. I don't think anybody would be in the least bit surprised if any or all of those names ever showed up with positive next to it. I believe Gabe Kapler was mentioned as guy who tested positive..... guess what team Gabe played for in 2002? Texas...... Just because all these guys I am speculating played and shared a locker with Teix in no way shape or form mean he did it along side them. To me 2 or 3 guys could make a culture. So if JoeJet was president (and thank god he isn't) everybody who was ever associated in any way shape or for with a scumbag would be a scumbag for having been associated with them. So if your boss or co worker cheats on their wife guess what you do to because you work with them. You go to business conferences in Orlando with them, order Thai with them on late nights in the office but most importantly because Harry in accounting is banging Joann from HR behind poor Sally's back you must be too because you work in accounting with Harry, shit your cubicle might be right next to his. Thank god JoeJet doesn't run the world because I'd probably be in jail for some of the people I ran with back in my younger years.
hmmmm.... looks like roid rage to me... and in 2003 no less... the same year A Rod failed his test... Charges the mound then the Dodger locker room? Yep, I'm sure Piazza was clean :rofl: http://www.mlb.com/news/article.jsp...d=218691&vkey=spt2003news&fext=.jsp&c_id=null Mota hits Piazza, brawl ensues Piazza charges mound after being hit by pitch By Ken Gurnick and Kevin Czerwinksi / MLB.com PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Lingering bad blood between Dodgers reliever Guillermo Mota and Mets catcher Mike Piazza erupted into a bench-clearing brawl Wednesday night when Mota drilled the former Dodger with a pitch. Mota had slugged a three-run homer in the top of the sixth of the Dodgers' 13-6 win over New York, but it didn't appear any words were exchanged when Mota crossed the plate. Piazza led off the bottom of the sixth inning and Mota threw the first pitch inside, Piazza glaring at the pitcher. The second pitch, also a fastball, nailed Piazza in the back. Piazza dropped his bat and helmet and charged the mound. Mota threw his glove at Piazza when he arrived, then backpedaled behind the mound, then toward the Dodgers' first-base dugout as benches and bullpens emptied. Dodger catcher David Ross caught Piazza just before he reached the mound. "I got his arm just as he was throwing a punch," said Ross. "That's the first fight I've ever been in. I didn't know what to do." Adrian Beltre and Brian Jordan restrained Piazza, who by this time was screaming and motioning wildly at Mota. "If he had gotten loose, I don't know what would have happened," said Mets manager Art Howe. Jeromy Burnitz and Joe McEwing took aim on Mota, but he was surrounded by teammates and ushered into the dugout and quickly toward the clubhouse. "It's hard to understand why a guy would do that," said Burnitz. "But I knew after the first pitch it looked like there was some intent. Absolutely there was no doubt about it, it was premeditated." Mota and Piazza were the only players ejected. Umpire crew chief Ed Montague, who also grabbed Piazza when the catcher made a second attempt to get at Mota, said a report will be filed with the Commissioner's Office. Mota waved off reporters and in English said, "No comment." He showered and dressed and walked to Brian Jordan's waiting white Range Rover, which Jordan retrieved from the parking lot and brought inside the security gates. With Jordan at the wheel, he and Mota departed with the game still in the sixth inning. Five minutes later, Piazza left the Mets clubhouse without speaking to reporters, drove his BMW to the entrance of the Dodger clubhouse, and entered. Visibly agitated, Piazza approached equipment manager Jerry Turner, then trainer Stan Johnston. "Where's Mota?" Piazza repeated. "Where's Mota?" Told Mota had left, Piazza checked the trainer's room and looked into the shower, then scanned the lockers before he finally left. Mota and Piazza have a history. In a March 4, 2002 exhibition game against the Dodgers at Port St. Lucie, Piazza was hit by an Eric Gagne pitch and Mark Guthrie retaliated by hitting Jordan with a pitch. Mota, acquired five days earlier, faced Piazza in a March 28 exhibition game in Vero Beach and hit Piazza in the back with a pitch. Piazza waited in the Mets first-base dugout for Mota to leave the field after being removed from the game. When Mota reached the grass in shallow right field, Piazza intercepted him and grabbed the 6-foot-4 Mota by the neck until they were separated by other players. Piazza received a fine. Dodgers manager Jim Tracy remembered last year's incident. "Obviously, (Mota) remembers he reached up and tried to choke him a year ago. Other than that, I don't have a lot to say. It boils down to nothing more than history that started late last March and carried itself over." Howe questioned why Mota came out for a second inning of work. "I thought they left him out there to go after Piazza," said Howe. "That's my opinion. Someone told me they have a history. I read about it last year and after that first pitch, it kind of brought it back into my mind. He tried to get him on the first one. There was certainly intent from my viewpoint. "But the guy ran like a scared rabbit. If he wants to hit someone, he should stay there and fight. He can backpedal faster than I can run forward. It was a set up, as far as I was concerned. I'm angry. He's my best player and I don't want guys taking potshots at my best player." Howe said Piazza should not be suspended "for anything he did tonight." The two teams have played each other four times in the past three days with games scheduled Saturday and Sunday in Mexico City. "Both sides need to get this resolved and get it over with," said Tracy. "Nobody wants to start a season missing key players when you've worked as hard as we've worked to this point."
