The Mets actually might take center stage in the Big Apple tonight as Mike Piazza makes his triumphant return to Shea. Here are a few scenarios which would be incredibly interesting if they were to happen:
The Ironic
Mike's always been summarized as a great offensive catcher but a miserable defensive catcher. In particular his feable attempts to throw out runners at 2nd base. So tonight pits Mike versus the best base stealer currently in major league baseball Jose Reyes, how funny would it be if Piazza threw out Reyes twice at second. Chances of this happening are about 1 in a million but it would be very humurous.
Mikey C's Return the Shea
How are we going to shortchange Mike Cameron? Granted he has never carried the a team on his back and is certainly not a classic Met, but he was a productive Met and has been a better player than Piazza this year. What if he goes out robs a homer steals two bases and hits a 3 run homer will he get booed? Or simply put will he even get cheered at the beginning of the game, you know Piazza is gonna get an ovation what about the other Mike.
Top of the 9th
This would be classic the Mets are up by two runs in the 9th and Wagner has given up two base hits already in the inning and here comes Piazza to the plate. Wagner deals his high heat and Piazza turns it around and puts it over the rightfield wall, would anyway in Shea dare cheer the homerun? Would everyone rain down the booes on Wagner? I know if I was a Met fan and I was there I would boo like crazy. What if Piazza hits a solo homer in the 3rd to give the Padres a 1-0 lead will Met fans cheer than?
