Buzz: Beltran’s Birthday Bash
By Matthew Cerrone - May 2, 2008 12:24 pm

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…

Since when did Beltran and his mole knew J.Lo and her booty?

and the way this team is playing….this is perhaps the last time this season you will mention ‘World Series’ as well.

because there’s so many teams that are playing so well right now, right?

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. :(

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.

Comment by blains2000

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.

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.
