According to Page Six’s Richard Johnson in the New York Post, Carlos Beltran celebrated his 31st birthday at Sofrito the other night with Jose
Reyes, Carlos Delgado, Oliver Perez, David Wright, Sandy Alomar Jr., Johan Santana and Endy Chavez, as well as Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez.
In the report, Johnson writes:
“Just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder, Jennifer Lopez grabbed the birthday boy and shook her world-renowned booty. Then, the crowd improvised a song with the lyric, “We’re going to win the World Series.”
…take note, as this may be the first and last time the term world-renowned booty appears on MetsBlog…




Well, that must’ve been a hell of a party.
Since when did Beltran and his mole knew J.Lo and her booty?
Both Puerto Rican…thats the only connection I think…
they live next door to each other in port wash.
and the way this team is playing….this is perhaps the last time this season you will mention ‘World Series’ as well.
World Series or show us your bust!
because there’s so many teams that are playing so well right now, right?
what’s your point?
His point is that we have just as much chance of reaching the WS as anyone else in our division.
Oh…is that it? The rest of the division is the watermark?
Now that’s championship caliber baseball.
This team can be far better than that. You know. I know it. But do they know it?
Um, no. apart from 2 or 3 other teams, everyone is right around each other. One month of baseball isn’t nearly enough for the cream to rise to the top. You’re acting like we’re already 20 games out. We don’t even have all of our players. The rest of the division is pretty much the “watermark” (?) (benchmark…?), since we don’t play other teams nearly enough times to see who’s better. As for “championship caliber baseball,” other than the DBacks, who else really scares you? The Cubs? Their rotation will come back to earth. The Brewers? Hahahahaha.
Don’t tell me how I’m acting. I’m not acting like we are 20 games out. I’m acting like we are a .500 team that should be much better. We SHOULD be 5 games up right now considering the Braves are losing every 1-run game they play, and the Phillies are w/o their MVP SS and Howard has yet to hit his stride. If you are happy with playing to keep pace, fine. But this pace is pathetic. I’d rather set the pace. And this team shows very little ability or motivation to do that and take advantage of the opportunities handed to to them.
In the NL, the DBacks and the Cubs are playing great baseball. DBacks are solid in most every aspect, while the Cubs will go as far as their offense. The AL has at least 7 teams that are far better than the Mets right now. This is hardly a top 10 team in the entire league. And nothing suggests that will change.
You can sit back and say the rest of the league is poor to make you feel better about the Mets. That’s a great way of avoinding the real issue. This team has played .500 baseball over the past 162 games played . They just lost 4 of their last 10 games by at least 5 runs, 2 of those games were blowouts to the worst 2 teams in the NL.
Wow, it’s amazing how someone drops a little light-hearted pun, and people want to act like they shot someone. :(
yeah….i guess we all need to chill out a bit.
There’s that sense of entitlement again.
how about “swagger” or “confidence”?
Well, they didn’t specify what year they would win it.
I am at a loss for words here. Just thinking about J-Lo’s booty….nice.
didn’t she just have 2 kids though… That’s a stretch… pun intended
lol…
Couldn;t have been THAT great of a party without Darryl Strawberry or Keith Hernandez
Well….Sandy Alomar Sr. was there….musta been off the hook
it was Sandy Jr. but he is still old
Do we know when “the other night” was? Could it have been the night before they played their worst game of the year? I am not sure whether to hope yes or no.
Just realized I’m an idiot because the night before the debacle was the 11 inning game. But if they had gone out the night before at least they would have an excuse.
The only other time we might see “World-renowned booty” is if Kris and Anna Benson decide to bless us with their presence again.
That would be “trailer-park renowned” booty.
Maybe they should all be taking batting practice instead.
That’s a little late at night for BP isn’t it?
In an indoor cage of course.
i wonder if he showed any emotion at the party
Is it possible to strike out on a hard slider with a drink in your hand?
I wouldn’t mind pitching J-Lo’s “world-renowned booty ” a hard slider….up and in
Of course what the article didn’t note was while J-Lo was shaking and shimmying, Carlos Beltran just stood there until Marc Anthony punched him out.
That was perfect.
“may be the first and last time the term world-renowned booty appears on MetsBlog…”
unless we ever pick up CC Sabathia….
Carlos was only able to blow out 89% of his birthday cake candles
This comment deserves more credit.
brilliance!
I don’t get it. In my defense, I’m stupid
I believe he is referrring to Carlos’ estimates on his health at any given time. “My knees are about 82.63 %.”
Which reminds me of Matt’s suggestion that instead of a number that Carlos wear his health %age on his jersey. Brilliant!
Was this party on the night they lost 13-1?? If so, we know where these guys heads were…
It’s nice to see our guys out having a great time after getting their butts kicked and looking like dogs on the field. I find this story disgusting…singing about winning the world series – give me a break…..let’s face it the millionaires on this team don’t worry about anything, cthey certainly don’t worry about winning….
oh shut up
Get a life.
Do you expect these guys to be at the batting cage 24/7?
Do you take your job home with you?
They were blowing off some steam and were bonding. Most normal people do this after their jobs are done. I’m glad they had fun. It may actually help them.
Also, if this is what it took to put that 13-1 loss out of their minds, great. They need to put those behind them.
He’s right. In fact, I think we should all set an example for the Mets, instead of going out tonight we should stay at work and continue practicing our respective jobs. No fun until we’re perfect.
Coming off the 13-1 game this opinion is very understandable. Give the guy a break.
Beltran’s birthday was awhile ago. My guess is this was Saturday or Suinday night…both after wins. After the game Weds I believe they were en route to Arizona.
In any case, where is it written that if they are not home doing soduko between games they are not focused?
They way this team presses with RISP, they could use to blow off steam.
John Maine WAS home doing Sudoku, but then he walked 5 guys the next night. Huh.
maybe ollie should consider sitting home and do soduku at nights before he pitches
I thought maine got dressed up in drag for parties?
Brings new meaning to “Carlos Beltran plays too deep.”
Carlos will now need to go on the DL after dancing with JLo I am sure he pulled a hamstring, an oblique etc….
For some reason, this story made me feel better…I really don’t think it should have, but it did.
I agree. There is definately something to be said about the difference in fan and player emotions. The Mets aren’t pressing or feeling down about themselves. Wagner raises some good points, but nothing to be down about – just areas to improve. We all know there are flaws in the squad, but all teams have some flaws. (except like the D’backs… damn do we really have to play them?) Last year’s September was doubly painful because you could SEE that the players were feeling downtrodden, hopeless and defeatist until they were, defeated.
I would have felt better if Billy Wagner was there…
His birthday is 4/24. The 4/25 game was pretty awful (the Jurjjens (sp?) game). Who knows. Many games around there were pretty awful.
Can’t get down on them too hard for celebrating a birthday. They are humans, whether or not we always treat them as such.
P.S. I can’t believe they didn’t invite Figgy. Shame.
is there a way to have text messages updating me on the score of mets games sent to my phone? is so, how?
goto mlb . com and type in Team alerts
i like the players on this team. a lot.
Bet when JLo got home she got backslapped for pulling that manuver! Marc Anthony has a reputaion of being extremely jealous of his woman and having a loose hand.
haha was thinking the same… blap blap, poor j-lo
good to see we got the the tabloid gossip post of the month out of the way early this month. The one a month limit seems like a good idea…
Whats in store for june? Jose Reyes and a brazilian model? Billy Wagner and a 15 year old county singer? Only time will tell…
Maine will once again ask women for their dresses in club rest rooms! LOL
I was kind of hoping they were out partying with Giuseppi Franco and Gary Busey.
lmao
Jose Lima’s invitation got lost in the mail.
Carlos, Why wasn’t I invited? No invite for Billy Wagner?
I think beltran’s mole is godfather to one of j-lo’s kids.
I have to ask this question…
Did Beltran make contact with J-Lo’s world-renowned booty, or was he just caught looking?
You know, a friend of mine last year told me that his friend owns a club, I believe in Queens not sure, where a “prominent Met” attends in drag. This was last summer and now after reading all these stories about John Maine it really makes me wonder. When I was told that I really thought about Aaron Heilman, don’t know why; maybe because he went to that spa during one of last year’s Met Weekly episodes. Who knows?
duaner
Or, if there was someone posing as Maine, maybe my friend’s friend was fooled into thinking it was Maine.
