Mike Piazza Ripped Vin Scully For “Crushing Him,” and Here’s Video of Scully’s Alleged Crushing, Which is Anything But a Crushing
This won’t help Mike Piazza’s popularity in Los Angeles. In his new autobiography, the former Dodger blamed famed announcer Vin Scully for “crushing him” in an interview when he set an ultimatum for his 1998 contract negotiations.
KTLA posted the video of said crushing. Scully raises the subject directly with the hulking Piazza, but seems even-keeled. He followed it up with a joke about his stolen base totals.
Piazza commemorated his five-game stint with the Marlins in 2011, but has not appeared at Dodger Stadium since he retired. He told Jon Stewart he would enter the HOF as a Met.

He told John Stewart he would enter the HOF as a Met.
Seems a little presumptuous.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:03 PM
When did I miss Piazza talking to a member of the Green Lanterns Corps?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Piazza should STFU. He dodge the NY media all week. Refused to answer questions from media at his book signing. Not shocking that he only went on Jon stewart’s show and Francesa’s show.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:04 PM
He told John Stewart he would enter the HOF as a Met.
I thought the Hall took the choice away from the player after Wade Boggs elected to go in as a Devil Ray.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:05 PM
Piazza should buy hipster glasses.

I’d ask Jeff Bagwell, but doubtful he knows since him getting into the Hall is so laughably unrealistic.

Everything alright at home?

Mike Piazza and HTownHacker cut each other’s hair.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:11 PM
I think they’ve always had final say, since Boggs is in as a Red Sox.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:12 PM

Good call. Perhaps he expressed an interest in going in as a Devil Ray and they shot it down?

February 15th, 2013 at 4:14 PM
They drew the line at Boggs’ ridiculous request. Previously they let the player choose – which is why Nolan Ryan has a Texas Rangers hat and Reggie Jackson has a Yankees hat.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:15 PM
They shot down Boggs because they couldn’t find anyone who actually knows what a Tampa Bay hat looks like.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:17 PM
i figured Boggs would go in with a piece of fried chicken on a hat
February 15th, 2013 at 4:17 PM
I hope Canseco goes in as a Ranger
February 15th, 2013 at 4:19 PM
well i’m sure he can wear any hat as long as he pays for admission at the entrance
February 15th, 2013 at 4:20 PM
In to the gates of hell?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:21 PM
I’m interested to see if Mike Devereaux goes in as an Oriole or a Dodger. Assuming his storied feud with Boog Powell (at least as it was told in The Autobiography of Mike Devereuax: I Played Professional Baseball) has dissipated, I’d like to see him go in wearing the bird on his cap.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:22 PM
gayest thing I’ve heard today since Htown’s hair cutting story earlier.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:23 PM

February 15th, 2013 at 4:24 PM

Did you see PeerLessPrices story about accidentally him and a friend ending up in Boystown together and them being wowed by the pageantry of it all?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:25 PM
Too crazy for Boystown, too much of a boy for Crazytown.

Tim Ryan, it’s 54 degrees in NYC today…a scarf today kinda makes you look like a pussy

There is no conceivable way Hernia’s internet persona can be both accurate and heterosexual
February 15th, 2013 at 4:29 PM
It’s like they say, a scarf today, is an injustice any day.

I remember her, I didn’t hate at all. I just don’t see you log in under that name to comment very often

I didn’t realize CRM’s wife commented here.

Metrosexual is not exactly a new term. And it’s ok that you’re fashionably inept. No one’s mad at you.

I was there for Timmy being fat and bald and think it’s hilarious. I’m a regular reader just not an avid commenter.

I can’t dispute that

She knows I’m good looking and have great hair. Don’t hate.
Let’s not get carried away, Timmy.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:38 PM
He’s bald, right? Just tell us that he wears a carpet. Or explain why he knows Clooney is gay. Please, it’s very boring at work today.

can be really good while playing the bone flute.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:42 PM
Especially if you “happen” into Boystown…
February 15th, 2013 at 4:43 PM
You guys are all pretty brutal to Tim, and while I think it’s hysterical, he actually is a good looking guy and has outstanding hair for someone his age. I have touched said hair before and can confirm that it is in fact real. The clooney being gay thing…he says this all the time and will not reveal how or why he knows that. Same thing about Bradley Cooper…
February 15th, 2013 at 4:44 PM
It’s a give and take. Hernia is pretty brutal to the commentators, too. ‘Tis all in the interest of fun and time-passing. And I didn’t say the hair was fake, just that it’s not his.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:44 PM
Mama Hernia?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:46 PM
he actually is a good looking guy and has outstanding hair for someone his age
For someone his age? It’s not really remarkable for someone to still have good hair generally until that person is nearing their 50s….
February 15th, 2013 at 4:46 PM
Chicago’s a big place. Sometimes you “happen” to places
February 15th, 2013 at 4:46 PM
Here’s a fun fact: the saying “the carpet matches the drapes” originated in 2003 when Tim Ryan caught a malevolent strain of crabs and mistakenly thought that shaving would kill them.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:46 PM
I’m trying to think of other Hernia mysteries. I’ve got a cloudy recollection of a wedding ring, a small dog, and some children
February 15th, 2013 at 4:47 PM
Mama Hernia?? Come on. Tim and I are friends.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:47 PM
I literally will put $20 bounty to anyone who can prove this isn’t Hernia.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:48 PM
She said outstanding, brother brosington.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:48 PM
Hernia is Morty Seinfeld…it all makes sense now

Are you telling us you couldn’t use $20, CoRM!?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:49 PM
I’m honestly saddened that you think I would do that.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:49 PM
She said outstanding, brother brosington.
She also said “for someone his age”
February 15th, 2013 at 4:50 PM

February 15th, 2013 at 4:51 PM
When i heard Hernia call into Francesa’s show, I could only picture the brooklyn brawler from WWF
February 15th, 2013 at 4:51 PM
we have been through this. My name is Meredith and I’m a real life girl. Tim and I are friends and live near each other in the city. The iheartthesportshernia thing was a joke that came after many beers. What else do i need to confirm? My boob size since that’s all you guys ever comment about.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Do we actually know anything about TSH? Except for a likely fake name?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
I had friends in college who were balding badly by their sophomore year. Truly thankful for hair.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:52 PM
Wow those beers really got the creative juices flowing.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:53 PM
Does tim ryan approve of your boob size or does he show same level of hate as he does towards Kate Upton?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:53 PM
Does Tim have a Facebook account?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:53 PM
My boob size since that’s all you guys ever comment about.
Tim Ryan’s boob size. I don’t remember the part where you said your name was Meredith but you are at least partially humanized now. If Senator Jersey were still alive you would have a friend request within minutes
February 15th, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Meredith Baxter-Birney is an expert on hair, though, to be fair.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Pics or GTFO? Somebody actually did this for Justin Veralander’s road beef.
February 15th, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Does tim ryan approve of your boob size or does he show same level of hate as he does towards Kate Upton?
And a follow-up to this: does he wear glasses and if so does he disdain wearing them while looking pictures of women?
February 15th, 2013 at 4:55 PM

WWoS appears ready, willing, and able to fill those shoes.

As creepy as getting a friend to start a blog commenting profile, or inventing one himself, to defend and collaborate his claims about himself, and then talking about boob cup size with a bunch of strangers? Or not quite that creepy.
February 15th, 2013 at 5:02 PM
