Mike Piazza Retires

What, you didn’t honestly think I was going to let the retirement of Major League Baseball’s No. 1 metal fan/Belle and Sebastian muse pass without comment, did you? Not a chance. (Besides, something had to break up the Idol coverage.) See you at the ceremony retiring No. 31, duder! Hope the Mets management can get Zakk Wylde to play you off.

    @Luke N Atmaguchi: 4 months out, a comment comes full circle.

    So now he can finally get some alone time with Sam Champion?

    I bet there was way more press at his “I swear, I’m not gay, for reals” press conference a few years ago.

    The first time I heard Belle and Sebastian singing about Mike Piazza my head almost exploded. I mean, what are the odds that a Scotish group would reference the sexuality of an American baseball player? That was just strange. I believe the song also references the Willie Mays statue outside the Giants home park (whatever telecom currently owns the naming rights). Again, pretty unexpected.

    That being said, as a Dodger fan, I believe that the trading of Mike Piazza was the beginning of the end of the “Dodger Way.” I always hated seeing Piazza in a Mets uniform, so fuck you Fox.

    I always liked Mike Piazza, he was a good player and cool dude, Even though he did play for the Dodgers. Now there’s Mike Napoli though, so my spot for a cool Italian catcher is checked off.

    He’ll be on tour with Anthrax in no time.
