Mike Piazza Is PISSED That The Italian Soccer Team He Owns Is Being Charged Too Much In Rent

NYDN- Mike Piazza thinks the rent is too damn high. The former Mets catcher, who became the majority shareholder of Reggiana FC, a Serie C (third division) team in Italy, isn’t happy with the team’s current rent situation. Piazza went off during a press conference last week about having to pay rent to Giorgio Squinzi, the owner of the nearby Serie A team Sassuolo, who also owns Reggiana’s arena. The 49-year-old said he wants to negotiate the price down to something that’s close to the Serie C league average.

Fuck’em up Mikey! Give them hell. Nobody fucks with Mike Piazza’s soccer football team and gets away with it!!! Vinny Piazza’s kid knows that anytime you argue with Italians, you not only have to bring your screaming voice, but you need to use your hands while making your argument. I bet Mike watched Dwight’s speech from The Office 10 times before he started that press conference.

But I also have to be honest, that was kinda hard to watch. Mike Piazza has always been one of my favorites. Dude crushed bombs, was clutch as fuck, and had one of the most iconic mustaches in the history of mankind. However, he never was much of a fighter. You can’t bring the thunder in an argument when you are dropping words like “Fricken”. That’s as half measure as it gets. Drop some big boy FUCKs on everyones head or don’t curse at all. From the moment Piazza dropped that fricken, I saw the greatest offensive catcher ever turn into Danny Boy Cane. I needed Piazza in whatever Beast Mode he was in when Guillermo Mota plunked him for the 100th time in his career years ago during this press conference. Craziest eyes I have ever seen on a baseball diamond in my life.

Also, you can’t go on an angry long-winded rant and then expect some girl sitting behind you to translate that shit with calmly in like 1/10th the words. At some points I was wondering if I was watching an SNL sketch or a real press conference. Mike dropping the fact that people at Mets camp were talking about his soccer team did NOTHING for him. In fact, I guarantee the owner at Sassuolo did the jerk off gesture when he heard Mike bring up Mets camp. Oh people in Port St. Lucie are talking about this stadium issue? I’m doing the jerkoff motion just typing it. Add in Piazza talking about investing his treasure, news of the team being in periodicals, as well as a moment where I thought he was going to cry and you have yourself a typical Mets press conference mini disaster. Derek Jeter buys baseball teams and gives the Yankees his best player. Mike Piazza buys soccer teams and has to argue that billion dollar corporations won’t push him around (Spoiler: They will). I don’t blame you, Mike. I blame the Mets and the hex that has apparently been placed upon them for everything going wrong with Reggiana FC. Curses definitely have the transitive property when it comes to sports. Smitty won Rough N Rowdy because of the Rone Curse and Reggiana FC is getting its dick kicked in by its landlord because of whatever curse the Mets are currently locked into.
