Ball Thief makes a cameo appearance.

The touching story of the never-was attacking a has-been:

"After the game, Johnson played off the incident, saying: 'It didn't bother me at all. If it would've, [Mientkiewicz] would probably be on a stretcher, and I'd be out of the game.' "

That's not a very nice thing to say.


"I've been on a stretcher before and, technically, he's been out of the game for three years in my mind," Mientkiewicz said.

Good comeback, Ball Thief.


" 'That just shows me how mentally weak he is. That's why he got out of [New York].'

Johnson played in New York from 2005-06 before returning to the D-backs rotation in '07.

'New York beat him down, let's put it that way,' said Mientkiewicz."

Johnson won 34 games in two season with the Yankees. While disappointing, it is a lot for somebody who was "technically" out of baseball.

But let's say Johnson was a terrible baseball player in New York and the reason he was terrible is because he was mentally weak.

What's your reason for being a terrible ballplayer in New York? You're mentally tough, but just lacking talent?
