Rocker overshadows Braves-Mets matchup

By JOSH DUBOW
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK, June 29, 2000 - Let the rest of New York worry about the circus surrounding a certain Atlanta reliever. The Mets are more concerned about 24 other Braves.

"We can't control the coverage of an individual. We can't worry about that," Mets catcher Mike Piazza said Wednesday on the eve of John Rocker's first trip to New York since his now infamous magazine interview.

"We have to face Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Andruw Jones and Chipper Jones. They have a pretty good ballclub. We can't worry about one guy who might or might not get into the game. If he does, we'll try to score runs off him."

This weekend's Braves-Mets series - their first since last year's thrilling NLCS - would still be big news with first place in the NL East on the line. It just wouldn't be a media circus.

"I don't think anybody has asked any questions about the game," Mets third baseman Robin Ventura said. "It's mostly been about him coming here and we're getting tired of answering it. This is an important series."

But people are more concerned about whether Rocker will ride the No. 7 train to Shea Stadium - probably not - than about whether New York has closed the gap with Atlanta - it remains to be seen.

The Mets tried to maintain that this was a typical series. There was nothing typical about the preparations.

Without Rocker, there wouldn't be 600 police officers at Shea Stadium for a typical Atlanta-New York series - and about a dozen outside the Grand Hyatt hotel awaiting his arrival early Thursday.

There wouldn't be more than 300 media members in town tracking Rocker's every move. There wouldn't be a protective fence and awning over the visitor's bullpen and special rules limiting alcohol sales.

And there wouldn't be all these nagging questions for the players to answer.

"It's something that you just don't want to keep talking about," Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said. "This has been going on too long. I guess everybody's pointing toward New York, and I guess that's when it will end. I don't know. You'd think enough's enough."
