The funniest thing about this article is the accompanying picture.

That is the FRONT PAGE STORY on all the NYC newspapers today. I'm like, what the hell, "Mike Piazza: I'M NOT GAY!" is the most important news we could come up with today? We were all having a good laugh over it today.

I was not expecting this when I went to check the baseball standings today (Yay Twins!). Once I realized it wasn't a joke, it got even FUNNIER.

I think that picture is the most hilarious thing ever.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 22 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ron Mael as a butch catcher. I'm intrigued.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

when you have to tell the world...

I was disappointed there was no follow up story to this important news item today. All they talked about was Chandra Levy. As if some dead girl is more important than Mike Piazza banging guys, jesus.

― Ally, Thursday, 23 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The whole thing is ridiculous. Everyone knows that Mike and Alf are just friends.

― felicity, Thursday, 23 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What about Emmitt and Alf though?

― Ally, Thursday, 23 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That commercial makes me larf and larf. Beats Carrot-top with a stick.

― felicity, Thursday, 23 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry Dan, but you live in Massachusetts and your a Twins fan? I'm assuming you grew up in Minnesota otherwise you must leave massachusetts immediately for not liking the Sox.

― Chris, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is that thing a hat of some kind or his hair?

― Jonnie, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm assuming you grew up in Minnesota [...]

Yup. Kirby Puckett was my hero for a while.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

alright, we'll let you stay. Minnesota is playing quite well for a team thats on the brink of contraction. It would be rather foolish of MLB to include the Twins in this contraction business.

― Chris, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

CNNSI.com is keeping abreast of the latest developments in this important story. Hee hee hee.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think you should've taken him up on his leaving-Boston offer, Boston is ass.

― Ally, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Boston is a gem, NY sucks.

― Chris, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NY is better than Boston, but I'm stuck here for at least two years while Joei gets her master's degree.

Rather hilariously, the organist at the church we sing at recently discovered that almost every important organist in town knows who Joei is. Heh heh heh world domination, HERE WE COME!

― Dan Perry, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh Dan there's only one REALLY important organist in Joei's life...

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If by "gem" you mean "vile smelly Puritan filthhole second only to Jersey in suckiness", then, yes, Boston is a gem. You can't even drive there, what the hell? Nor can you do anything after midnight.

― Ally, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bars are open until 2am, granted it isn't an alcholics dream like NY, but its pretty enjoyable. What do you mean by you can't drive there? Is this the same Boston Im thinking of or is this Boston an island in the carribean? I seem to drive quite freely around Boston.

― Chris, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Every time I've ever driven there = disaster. Narrow streets, confusing layout - yikes. There's not even a 24 hour grocery store, you might get lucky and find a 711 type thing but...goodness. It's terrible. It's just so dull, I don't think I've ever had a proper good time there. Not to mention that bouncer going all over the world to get someone with a fake ID in super trouble - that's proof of boredom right there.

― Ally, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I guess its just because Im used to it (the driving) I suppose if I drove to NY I would hate it. In fact tommorrow night, I'm going out in Boston for a bachelor party and am quite sure we will have a proper good time.

― Chris, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"I'm not an organist, but I really know my instrument." HAW HAW

― Dan Perry, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Funny how my stick broke, when I went to play you a rimshot;>

In a city of how-many-million, Piazza's "sexuality" is news-worthy? The heat has finally melted the editors' grey cells.... (Cute pic, though a truly homosexual person probably wouldn't be caught dead in pinstripes;>)

― Nichole Graham, Saturday, 25 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Um, Jersey isn't all suckiness. Newark and the Turnpike aren't the end-all-and-be-all of New Jersey, you know.

And Boston does suck. Everyone knows that. And that Philadelphia is in reality what Boston aspires to be.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Saturday, 25 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Now how many times are you going to use that line, and how many times do I have to tell you I used to live in Jersey? Mike Piazza lives in Jersey, you know.

― Ally, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mike Piazza also listens to heavy metal. What Mike Piazza doesn't do is prevent anyone from stealing second.

― J Blount, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All the boys get to second on Mike. Har har.

― (Sorry.), Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

J Blount's answer is fun-EEEE. Now Pudge Rodriguez can throw out prospective base-stealers and he's cuter than Mike and he doesn't do those 1-800 COLLECT commercials (which are so unfunny that there ought to be a LAW).

― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

Even Belle and Sebastian are wondering.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 13 October 2003 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, who knew the rumor was that pervasive?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 13 October 2003 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Stuart Murdoch is a pretty big baseball fan, he loves Barry Bonds.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 13 October 2003 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

the pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
he goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor

Stuart Murdoch is not as familiar with Sandy Koufax, I see.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

he loves Barry Bonds.

...as well as Sammy Sosa, whose autographed baseball he proudly showed off when B&S last played Chiacgo.

some friends of mine won a dancing competition at a Belle & Sebastian gig in LA - the prize was a baseball signed by all the members of the band.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

seven years pass...

l on his marriage: "he shaved his mustache and grew a beard."

― harlan, Saturday, 15 January 2011 04:22 (fifteen years ago)

I figured the only possible reason this was revived would be that Mike Piazza decided he was gay after all. But I guess not. Will check back in 2018...
