And for all the idiots who think he isn’t trying… just count how many times he answered questions about boos or the relationship between the team and the fans with something to the effect of ‘we just need to play better’

If he took the curtain call, they’d be talking about how it was just a solo shot to increase a 2-run lead to a 3-run lead in the 7th when the bullpen’s not been reliable of late, and about how that was a totally inappropriate time to take a curtain call, especially when you’re hitting below the Mendoza line blahblahblah blahblah blahblahblahblah.

He couldn’t win either way, so he stayed true to himself.

Fact #1 – Carlos says he never takes curtain calls out of respect for the game. He says he took two in his entire career – one for HR #400 and the other was long before he became a Met.

Fact #2 – Last time I checked, the games… are… videotaped.

The guy hit FOUR huge postseason HRs in 2006. If there was ever a time he was going to take a curtain call as a Met, it would have been then, right? So why doesn’t one of these “journalists” check the highlights?

If he actually took curtain calls then, then he’s lying now and he deserves to be criticized.

But if he’s telling the truth – if he actually hit that huge HR against the Dodgers, and then went into the dugout and sat down, then every person who ever criticized him over this owes him an apology.

I was shocked to see Delgado turn to face my seats and call back at my dad…. “No my man… you the man!!”

It was great, I never have heard a player even acknowledge being addressed by a fan during the game. He had a huge smile on his face and althought I always liked him, after this I found myself pulling even harder for him. Its a shame he might be done. I hope he busts out and goes on a tear for us.
