We Never Did Like That Guy
by Greg Prince on 1 November 2006 8:17 pm Guillermo Mota: Bad guy. Threw at Piazza.
Guillermo Mota: Good guy. Got batters out for us.
Guillermo Mota: Gone guy. Suspended 50 games for violating MLB drug policy.
If he did anything wrong, obviously it took place either while he was still in the Indians organization or the moment he filed for free agency. The Guillermo Mota we embraced as our seventh-inning door-slammer wouldn't do anything tawdry. But that loser who took aim at our superstar? He must be a juicing jerk.
And the wheels of the bus go round and round.

At least he's saying all the right things, anyway…
From ESPN.com
DAMMIT!
I think what's most irritating is that whatever he took apparently wore off just as he was facing Scott F$%^ng Spiezio.
I never accepted him (let alone embraced him) from minute one. He kept attacking Mike, and then he ran away like a little girl's blouse when Mike confronted him. A bully AND a coward, go figure. And then they gave him Mike's locker. Disgusting.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.
Whew…thank heavens for the fact that there's no contract left with this one…
Just like when someone gives up near the end of a long line at the concession stands, every Mets' pitchers, move up one step, please.
Yes, it was very polite of him to pitch well and then get caught when it didn't particularly matter.
Wow, him and Iriki. It's like having consecutive recent ex-girlfriends get arrested for assaulting a police officer or something — you haven't done anything wrong, but everybody's looking at you funny anyway. Well, actually it's nothing like that. But grade me on the curve — it's fricking November.
What Laurie said!
i always felt guilty as hell pulling for this guy in the playoffs. hope the Mets don't try and bring him back post-suspension…….
He's scum. It pained me to see him in a Met uniform. I hope I don't have to lay eyes on that sight ever again. I prefer to pretend it never happened. Whatever Omar was thinking, I hope he's finally come to his senses.
Sayonara, baby.
HAHAHAHA! I missed this comment somehow. Good one!!!
See if you can spot the subtle difference in the headlines:
ESPN.com: Drug violation nets Mets pitcher Mota 50-game ban
Mets.com: Free agent Mota gets 50-game suspension
Let the distancing begin, people. Staff and fans alike.
Hope Duaner is back to normal come springtime.
