'The Curse of Limbaugh'

When New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza spotted radio announcer Rush Limbaugh in front row seats before a recent game, he went over and asked for the ranter's autograph. "He's my idol," gushed the former Dodger:

"It was like meeting American royalty," raved Piazza, comparing meeting Limbaugh to meeting George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, or the Pope.

Since that pregame suck-fest, Piazza has gone 0 for 9 and failed to throw out four base stealers, leading a NYT sportswriter to announce Piazza was suffering from "The Curse of Limbaugh."

Using the rule of thumb that loudest homophobe is probably gay, this should renew the rumors about Piazza.
