Cliff Floyd Chats with the Fans

[Gwreck]

Whole thing is on Mets.com, http://tinyurl.com/7c2dp , but here are the highlights:


shlomer: When you were growing up, which team did you root for?

Cliff Floyd: The Chicago White Sox, so I was happy that they won last year!

31yonkers5: What does it feel like to see a fan in the stands wearing your jersey?

Floyd: It feels awesome, it feels great! You should head out to the store and buy one, too!

31yonkers5: If you and the Mets were to pull off a world championship this October, would you consider retirement or would you continue to play in 2007?

Floyd: I would play in 2007 and beyond.

johnnyphat: I know you and David Wright are pretty close. Now that he'll be in his second season, have you got any new nicknames for him besides rook?

Floyd: "Big baller."

metsandsox: How could the voters snub you out of the Gold Glove last year? I've never seen a left fielder play like that!

Floyd: How could they? I asked myself that, too.

cubbiesfan4ever: Why are you so good, Cliff?

Floyd: I just got it.

no1metsfan88: What was your most memorable home run?

Floyd: Last year against the Angels, 3-2, bottom of the ninth. Can't beat it!

31yonkers5: How much can you bench press?

Floyd: 450 pounds.

slicktroy: Who has been your funniest teammate?

Floyd: Ramon Castro. He's just one of those guys that keeps the clubhouse loose.

no1metsfan88: How did the picking on David Wright begin?

Floyd: All rookies have to earn their rights and he earned his by carrying my bags.

slicktroy: What will you do after baseball?

Floyd: Real estate and I hope to own my own bowling alley. I bowled a 290 this year.

jerryk55: Have you kept in touch with Mike Cameron since his trade? How often do you expect you'll speak with him during the season?

Floyd: Yes, we have spoken. We will keep in touch and will speak often.

Rich_Haan: Who would win in a home run derby -- you or David Wright?

Floyd: Definitely me!

yanksboy15: Who is the biggest trash-talker in the league?

Floyd: David Wright.

Anthony_Cocuzza: Cliff, what kind of car do you drive?

Floyd: I have an S500, a Flying Spur Bentley, SL500, Range Rover, Dodge Magnum, Cadillac EXT and Phantom Rolls Royce. And that's why I work so hard on the hitting.

fdnyl2: Do you ever use Carlos Beltran's colored tennis ball machine? Does it help?

Floyd: Yes, I use it. It helps focus your eyes.

This is a VERY funny interview.

[Guest cooby]

This is very good. I wonder if he really has all those cars

[metirish]

I'm surprised he's not been on 'Cribs', he has the cars for it.....funny guy .

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if they'll have another one of these where they allow people over the age of 10 to ask questions?

[metirish]

What Frayed Knot you thought this question wasn't loaded from cubbiesfan4ever

]Why are you so good, Cliff?

I want to see an exchange where Cliff shoots back a few Qs along the lines of;
"OK, so which of youse mutha-fuckas were the ones cursing me out from the bleachers 2 years back?"
