Note: The Delgado ‘Bored’ Comment
…Carlos Delgado has been getting mocked and criticized for having said he was bored during the end of the season, which is not accurate…i keep reading in this site’s comment’s section, as well as hearing on talk radio, about how delgado is bored, he doesn’t care, etc, due to comments he made in a pre-game interview on WFAN in late September…for the record, here are the comments, of which he was speaking and generalizing about his sense of the team, not his specific, individual attitude…
Delgado, talking to WFAN on September 21, 2007 said…
“I think at times we can get a little careless. We’ve got so much talent, I think sometimes we get bored.”
…he’s not saying he is bored, specifically…he’s saying the team in general would play like it was bored, which is something i think you and i would actually agree with him about…yet, if you read and listen to some fans, you’d think the statement was, ‘I, Carlos Delgado, am bored and do not care to win,’ which is not at all what he said…
…the thing is, in this media market, he should know better than to say anything remotely close to this, regardless if it is true…however, i hate to see the ‘bored’ comment get stuck to him and only him…actuallly, if you go back and listen to Paul Lo Duca during his mid-day interviews throughout the season on the same station, i suspect you will hear him repeatedly making a similar comment, but it was done in a more forewarning way, not revisionist like delgado…the point is, to peg delgado as careless and bored is inaccurate…instead, include him with the rest of the team, who all appeared carless and bored…
