Barry was very good in Pittsburgh before his head literally swelled to twice its normal size. (Though his ego was already well on the way to twice a normal size.) He took them into the playoffs the last time they were there. He didn't need the cream or the clear.
(OTOH, maybe a little cream or clear would have gotten Pittsburgh into the series, but I digress.)
He's not missed in Pittsburgh, except they still miss his bat and glove of course. He was the King James of baseball--instead of taking pride in leading a small market team to glory, he whined every moment he had to be there, and didn't stay an inning longer than necessary.
that said, as a ny mets fan i envied and feared that outfield-bonilla-van slyke-bonds!
