—

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Carlos Beltran walked into Mets camp on Saturday, took a seat on the dugout bench and said exactly what was on his mind. "To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat." It was unprompted, unscripted and completely unexpected. But with those nine words, Beltran instantly renewed his team's rivalry with the Phillies and assumed a new level of leadership with the Mets.

MLB: Beltran to Rollins: ‘We’re team to beat’
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog — MLB: Beltran to Rollins: ‘We’re team to beat’ Uh-oh... Carlos Beltran walked into Mets camp on Saturday, took a seat on the dugout bench and said exactly what was on his mind. “To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat.” It was unprompted, unscripted and completely unexpected. But with those nine words, Beltran instantly renewed his team’s rivalry with the Phillies and assumed a new level of leadership with the Mets. The usually quiet and reserved center fielder, perhaps emboldened by his team’s offseason acquisition of Johan Santana, stepped out of character—and ...

“To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat.”
Loser with Socks — Those 9 words (in English) from Mets Carlos Beltran have set the tone for this season [ mlb ].“Let me tell you this,” Beltran said. “Without Santana, we felt, as a team, that we had a chance to win in our division. With him now, I have no doubt that we’re going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that.

No, I Haven't Abandoned Ship
The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus — No, I'm not out for two weeks with a strained elbow. No, I'm not hurting from head to toe. No, I'm not searching for the magic scripture that will cement my status as "the blogger to beat". Because how can I be the blogger to beat when the very thought of getting on an airplane occupies my mind to the point where I can't even center a post around a simple "Orlando Hernandez is old" joke. Right now, I'm the blogging equivalent of Rob Deer ... I can't seem to be able to put the bat on the ball. All because I've gotta ride on an airplane. I don't have a phobia or anything, I just plain don't like it very much ... especially those ...

10 Things...That Don't Smell Like Shit At All
The Bad News Bloggers — Its a special time in Philadelphia. 2 hours from now, the championship red pinstripers will be parading down Broad and Market Streets (amongst others) receiving the cheers (and no jeers) of, literally, millions of fans. Its a fantastic day to be a Philly fan. One issue has got me thinking though; the once "woe is me" attitude that has plagued Philly fans, marred them with disgusting losses and extreme futility is now gone. The mantra will change...but the attitude. What's to complaint about now? At this point it doesn't matter, let's just sit back and enjoy the afterglow of a champion. Championship Gear and no room for a Second Mortgage. I have many ...
