JOHN ROCKER GETS TURNED INTO A PINATA

HOLLYWOOD (Wireless Flash) -- Lots of New Yorkers are ready to take a swing at foul-mouthed Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker when he arrives in the Big Apple today (Jun. 29) for a game against the Mets. Now, all of them will get a chance thanks to a website that has created a Rocker pinata free for anyone to bash. The pinata located at Romp.com features Rocker's face on the body of an ass. Players can assault the expletive- shouting pitcher with virtual weapons such as arrows, bullets and plain old spittle. Whenever he takes a blow, the virtual pinata blows out "verbal candy" in the form of bigoted slurs similar to Rocker's well-publicized remarks to "Sports Illustrated." A spokesman for Romp.com says the pinata was created so New Yorkers could even the score with Rocker over his insulting comments about their city.
