As Much as i want Beltran to get a ring

I Hope the D’backs win the division, they don’t deserve to with how they are treating him

Correction: Beltran cannot win with dumb fans

I consider myself a smart fan, and I love the Tron

It's probably Beltran, not luck or something he mentioned himself
To make matters worse, the most of the everyday lineup is dealing with some injury or another and plenty of players are on the disabled list

Beltran can't handle the SF media

Yes, blame Beltran for the fact that the Giants were frauds

who couldn’t keep winning every game by one run. Blame Beltran for the fact that the Giants lineup is a complete joke all around. Blame Beltran for the fact that several other players have gotten hurt.

But most of all, blame Beltran for making Brian Sabean trade his best prospect for a 34 year old rental.

BLAME BELTRAN.

Here's a comment from the article.
ScottB – You talk as if Beltran is Eric Hinske and has won wherever he’s played…….which couldn’t be further from the truth. Beltran is a selfish player who has NEVER won anything, NEVER put a team over-the-top, NEVER shown any heart or grit, and NEVER plays through pain. He is futility in motion, a player whose skills are falling faster than a lead balloon.

You blame Bocce, teammates, and trainers…..but not Beltran for his poor performances, constantly fragile health, and horrid character. Are you guys related???

Facts are clear…..San Fran was a team and they won a World Series as a team without any All Stars in the field except for 2 of their pitchers. Whats the 1st thing Beltran did when he was traded? He walked-up to his new manager and asked for his number 15. Can you imagine? Bocce just won a Championship and here’s this new guy asking for his jersey……what a disrespectful act on Beltran’s behalf. For a guy who can no longer run, field, hit, or throw, Beltrans got balls the size of church bells…….he’s without a doubt the least likely player to be named “clutch” and even less likely to be considered a team player or a gritty player. Beltran’s problem, he truly believes the @#$% Mr. Boras has been spewing for the past 6 years instead of proving himself on the field.

Personally, I’d forbid Carlos from being on my team and I am certain the better, smarter teams will avoid him like the cancer he is……

This man… this man is an idiot.

Who the hell is Bocce?

I could go for some Bocce ball. Anyone up for it after the aftershock?

Wow
Whats the 1st thing Beltran did when he was traded? He walked-up to his new manager and asked for his number 15. Can you imagine? Bocce just won a Championship and here’s this new guy asking for his jersey……what a disrespectful act on Beltran’s behalf.

Umm that’s probably not the first thing he did and also Bochy (or “Bocce” apparently) didn’t care at all about giving up his number. But don’t take it from me, let’s let him explain:

“I didn’t hesitate,” said Bochy, who took No. 16. "I’m not real sentimental about a number. I’m not playing. I have a jacket on most times anyway. I want the player to be comfortable. As a player, you get used to a number and I was glad to give it up, 15’s been on the bench long enough. . . . I told him I don’t need a watch.’’

Literally every sentence in that post is the exact opposite of the truth. That’s just one of the astonishing 19 (by my generous count) demonstrably false statements in that comment.

He asked for his number,

What kind of scumbag does that?

Balls the size of church bells?

Jeez, no wonder he can’t “run, field, hit or throw”

by MatthewM11 on Aug 24, 2011 11:56 AM EDT up reply actions  

My god, this is a whole new level of stupid

The Giants weren’t hitting well before they traded for Beltran. The Giants still aren’t hitting well. Ergo, it’s Beltran’s fault. That seems like sound reasoning.

Oh, and someone please inform Derrick Williams that Nate Schierholz isn’t “slumping”, he’s always been a shitty hitter.

"And that's why anybody who invested with Lenny Dykstra should really call that number. Lawyers are standing by."

D'oh, stupid sarcasm font.

That first sentence reads “The Giants weren’t hitting well before they traded for Beltran.”

"And that's why anybody who invested with Lenny Dykstra should really call that number. Lawyers are standing by."

Beltran

is my favorite baseball player of all time. I miss him on the Mets and hope he comes back in the off-season. This article is dumb, the comments are dumb (except for mistermet) it is almost as bad as people who hate him for striking out on a pitch that no one was hitting, or for his lack of emotion. Newsflash he has the same face whether he makes a game saving catch, hits a walk off grand slam, or strikes out. He was so good in his prime that he made the spectacular look mundane. Too many people have forgotten about that Beltran it is sad. Get well Voltron and come back to the Mets!
