Randy's 1st Strike

Quote:
 
The Big Unit is oficially New York's biggest $32 million crybaby.

Thin-skinned superstar Randy Johnson got into confrontations with a TV cameraman yesterday and a Daily News photographer - a day before he was to appear at Yankee Stadium in his official introduction as a Bronx Bomber. Instead, Yankee fans got a crash-course intro to the star pitcher's prickly personality.

"Look, don't take my picture," the 6-foot-10 Johnson snarled at News shutterbug Michael Schwartz.

Flanked by two Yankee security men, the towering flamethrower stopped on Madison Ave. and E. 59th St. and gestured at Schwartz.

"Don't follow me," Johnson warned. "Don't follow me."

That exchange came just seconds after Johnson was caught on tape confronting a Channel 2 TV cameraman in similarly snitty fashion.

The two flareups tarnished his Big Apple debut and raise obvious questions about whether he can handle the pressure of playing in New York.

Johnson Is Walking Small

Quote:
 
There were thousands and thousands of tourists in the city of New York yesterday. They came here from all over the country and all over the world. The tallest of them, a 6-10 baseball pitcher named Randy Johnson, one nicknamed the Big Unit, acted like the biggest hick of all of them, even though he was the one closest to the tops of all the real tall buildings.

Here was Johnson, who tells us it was his lifelong dream to be a Yankee, who said he would pitch in New York for the Yankees or stay in Arizona, walking along Madison Ave. yesterday morning. Jerry Laveroni, the Yankees' director of team security, was with him. So here come Johnson walking one way and here comes Vinny Everett, a cameraman from Ch. 2, giving Johnson the treatment that big guys get in New York all the time, wherever they go, whether they want the attention or not. Everett was putting his camera lights right on him.

Everett was there and Duke Castiglione, a sports guy from Ch. 2, was a block away, waiting to get Big Unit Johnson to give him a small sound bite. This is the daily work of the media in New York. Guys much more important and much more famous than Johnson mostly deal with it in a civil fashion, coming here with the understanding that if you want to take a high-profile job in New York, if you demand $48 million over the next three years to do that job, this is part of the price you pay back.

Not Johnson. Right away he puts his right hand on Vinny Everett's lens. "No cameras," he says to Vinny Everett and so does Jerry Laveroni.

This was apparently supposed to make Everett's knees buckle.

"Get out of my face, that's all I ask," Johnson says.

At this point, only Everett isn't really in his face. He's a long Johnson arm away from him.

Now Johnson tells Everett, "Don't get in my face. I don't care who you are, don't get in my face." Vinny Everett says, "I'm just taking a picture."

"Don't get in my face and don't talk back to me," Johnson says.

Don't talk back to me?

Randy Johnson said that to a television camera yesterday in the all-time, absolute talk-back capital of the entire universe. If he wanted quiet, he should have stayed in Arizona, where apparently people quake if he gives them a hard look.


the post attacks him big time too, yo one of you guys have to post the back page of the post, it's one of the funniest things i've ever seen, check it out!!!

Front and back pages. Because, ofcourse, there's nothing more important in the world than "Randy's Adventures on the Way to the Physician".

Jeez, you'd think Randy Johnson actually punched a cameraman or something.

I like the personality Randy Johnson is showing so far. That's the type of guy I want for the Yanks. We need to get ugly and match the scumbags that Boston has. I'd give my scrotum for Randy Johnson to do to Varitek and Ortiz's skull what he did to that bird that flew by.

We do owe that pussy Varitek. Everybody's got big balls when they're padded up and have an iron mask on.

Ortiz, just because we want to. Plus they're ahead of us with like a 5:1 ratio. Revenge is a mother f*cker.

And Pedro HAS to get it. I'd lose a lot of respect for Johnson if he didn't drill Pedro (ofcourse, he'd be ignoring Torre's orders if he did it). You know what would put a 2 hour smile on my face? If at the top of the inning, Joe comes over to Johnson and tells him "Pedro comes up in the bottom of the inning. I don't want any shinanigans!" then Randy tells him "SHUT THE f*ck UP!" and pegs Martinez. Tears of joy!

I guarantee if RJ did that, Met fans would be crying and acting like victims like they did with the Clemens-Piazza saga

:crybaby: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! What did Pedro ever do to Randy? WAAAAAAAAAA! All that stuff was in the past. Johnson wasn't even a Yankee. And the Mets had nothing to do with that crap. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I bet Johnson wouldn't have hit Beltran. He knows that Pedro is only 5'10" and has a bad shoulder. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! He's lucky Piazza didn't wanna get suspened. He would have done something."

What would your (everyone) reaction be if in June a story breaks that Randy Johnson and Anna Benson have had an affair and she's confirmed it?

HAHA. The crying would be exactly like that, and they wouldn't live it down for years. I'm pretty sure the real story behind the Clemens-Piazza scenario was Piazza wanted to see Clemens bare ass, and Clemens had told him to f*ck off and that he was married. Piazza didn't refrain, so Clemens had to send a message.

As far as that story, I wouldn't be surprised. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised a loser like Kris Benson, who looks like a guy that got straight As in High School and was a member of French Club, has been able to keep her for so long.

It wasn't even half as bad as these bitches are making it out to be. RJ told the a-hole to get away, the dickhead kept shoving the camera in RJ's face so RJ pushed the camera down. He could've kicked the living sh*t out of the guy if he wanted to, instead he just asked him to put the camera down. More patheticness as usual from the Yankee-hating media. I hope we get to shove it down everybody's throat at the end of the season.

Yeah, because they're a bunch of pathetic losers who can't come up with anything better to write so they all attack RJ because he's a Yankee. If he was a Muet, wouldn't even have heard of it. These a-holes should've been focusing on the Jets advancing in the playoffs or the Knicks or something, not a small incident with RJ and a cameraman.

Let's see how you feel in a few days when the headlines read:

[size=14]Beltran Smokes The Bologna Pony! [/size]

I'm spreading it all over the internet. He'll have to hold a press conference before Spring Training.

I didn't watch the press conference but I saw a picture of her in yesterday's NY Post. Not knowing that its his wife, I'd think it was his chubby sister. She was wearing a tight black shirt that was too short.

Question: What does "shum" mean? Not to sound like the clueless ass, but I'm the clueless ass.
