Memories of Guillermo Mota

[Valadius]

Screw him, his steroids, and his suckiness. Good riddance, ya bum.

Damn good when he came over and had a steller playoffs, last year was horrid.

I remember the time he "fought" Mike Piazza. Other than that, I have blanked the Mota-as-Met experience from my mind.

My dad and I went to the game in September that Pedro pitched against the Phillies, in which the bullpen subsequently blew the lead.

We sat way up in the nosebleeds and you couldn't tell what number anyone was wearing. At one point they made a pitching change and I guessed from the booing that it was Mota jogging in. I was right.

I will remember the 2006 (regular season) Mota. That boy was good!

If Willie had taken him out after walking Edmonds we'd have swept the Cardinals.

Mota after the trade deadline last season was a fantastic deal at the time.

Time is a funny thing.

Do we even know who or what the Mets gave up to get Mota?

I just looked it up in the 2007 Baseball Register and it said that the Mets got Mota for "a player to be named or cash."

I don't recall them ever sending a player to Cleveland. Did they send cash? Or was he a complete freebie? If so, that IS a good deal.

Pedro stuck up for him which made me almost believe he was OK for a very short while.

Fuck that pussy. The one redeeming factor about not winning a title is that bitch won't get a ring that says "New York Mets". I wish Piazza had caught him.

OE: Or Burnitz who comes flying out of the corner of the screen to almost catch him as he scurried down the dugout steps. I gotta find my tape of SC from the next day.

I always thought of the buzzkill it would have been had Mota's doping been uncovered in the wake of a championship.

a two year deal after testing positive for steroids is a funny thing....
