More steroid crap, Giambi (surprise), Clemens, Tim McCarver!?

Another weekend, another stupid Lupica article.

Lupica wastes this week's allotted newspaper space with yet another piece on the steroid issue in MLB.

You may be asking yourself, "didn’t Lupica write a stupid article about steroids last week?" Of course! Welcome to Mike Lupica's world of redundancy! Once again, Lupica plagiarizes himself and still holds a job. Unreal.

You may also be asking yourself, "hmm, I wonder if Mike Lupica has finally written an article about steroids without mentioning Jason Giambi?"

WRONG.

Once again we are back to that: Jason Giambi, standup guy! His performance in public was as artful as Bonds' was in front of the grand jury. He wanted to show everybody how bad he felt, maybe even get them to feel sorry for him, all the while making sure he didn't say anything that would have given the Yankees a chance to void his huge contract.

Yes, once again Michael, we are back to that: Jason Giambi, who admitted using steroids…FOUR YEARS AGO. Did Giambi apologize for it? Yes. Is Lupica still confused about what Giambi apologized for? Of course.

Now you may be saying to yourself, "I can't wait to see what Mike Lupica says about the Met's Guillermo Mota for failing a steroid test!"

Guess what Lupica said about Mota this week?

Nothing.

Not a word.

As usual, Lupica has to focus on bashing Yankee players; Mets players seem to always get a free pass.

Two weeks of steroid articles, two weeks with no mention of Guillermo Mota, the latest New York ballplayer to get busted for steroids.

Anyone surprised?

I didn’t think so.

Speaking of being surprised, did anyone fall off their chair when they saw Lupica had a blurb about Roger Clemens?

Are the Yankees really going to genuflect this way on Roger Clemens, who left them high and dry after the last game he pitched in the 2003 World Series?

Clemens is such a beauty you want to hug him.

How did Clemens leave the Yankees high and dry? Did he just bail on the team? Who expected him to be pitching for the Yankees in 2004? I remember he got a standing ovation in game 7 of the 2003 ALCS - was it because everyone expected him back with the Yankees the next season?
Mike, don’t hate Clemens just because he didn’t add the Mets to the list of teams he would consider pitching for this season.

And don’t hate him because he's taller than you.

EVERYONE is taller than you.

Warning : the next Lupica blurb may cause violent barfing and explosive diarrhea.

Ron Darling gets better and better doing Mets games on SNY.

He and Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen make it as much fun watching the Mets on television as it used to be when McCarver first hit town.

While I agree that Gary Cohen is a good announcer, how the HELL could he give Tim McCarver props!?

Oh, that's right - he's a Yankee hater too.

Maybe they share hair-dye secrets as well.

Here's some quality observations made by Tim McCarver.

Two jackasses who have nothing to say get paid for what they say.

Unbelievable.
