Whole thing is on Mets.com, http://tinyurl.com/7c2dp , but here are the highlights:
shlomer: When you were growing up, which team did you root for?
Cliff Floyd: The Chicago White Sox, so I was happy that they won last year!
31yonkers5: What does it feel like to see a fan in the stands wearing your jersey?
Floyd: It feels awesome, it feels great! You should head out to the store and buy one, too!
31yonkers5: If you and the Mets were to pull off a world championship this October, would you consider retirement or would you continue to play in 2007?
Floyd: I would play in 2007 and beyond.
johnnyphat: I know you and David Wright are pretty close. Now that he'll be in his second season, have you got any new nicknames for him besides rook?
Floyd: "Big baller."
metsandsox: How could the voters snub you out of the Gold Glove last year? I've never seen a left fielder play like that!
Floyd: How could they? I asked myself that, too.
cubbiesfan4ever: Why are you so good, Cliff?
Floyd: I just got it.
no1metsfan88: What was your most memorable home run?
Floyd: Last year against the Angels, 3-2, bottom of the ninth. Can't beat it!
31yonkers5: How much can you bench press?
Floyd: 450 pounds.
slicktroy: Who has been your funniest teammate?
Floyd: Ramon Castro. He's just one of those guys that keeps the clubhouse loose.
no1metsfan88: How did the picking on David Wright begin?
Floyd: All rookies have to earn their rights and he earned his by carrying my bags.
slicktroy: What will you do after baseball?
Floyd: Real estate and I hope to own my own bowling alley. I bowled a 290 this year.
jerryk55: Have you kept in touch with Mike Cameron since his trade? How often do you expect you'll speak with him during the season?
Floyd: Yes, we have spoken. We will keep in touch and will speak often.
Rich_Haan: Who would win in a home run derby -- you or David Wright?
Floyd: Definitely me!
yanksboy15: Who is the biggest trash-talker in the league?
Floyd: David Wright.
Anthony_Cocuzza: Cliff, what kind of car do you drive?
Floyd: I have an S500, a Flying Spur Bentley, SL500, Range Rover, Dodge Magnum, Cadillac EXT and Phantom Rolls Royce. And that's why I work so hard on the hitting.
fdnyl2: Do you ever use Carlos Beltran's colored tennis ball machine? Does it help?
Floyd: Yes, I use it. It helps focus your eyes.
