Who knew that when Dick Clark miscounted down to 2010 that there would be real repercussions. You see, Carlos Beltran's latest knee injury which will keep him away from "baseball-related activities" for 12 freakin' weeks (taking him through at least the start of the season), has proven once and for all that Clark's miscount has kept us stuck in the year 2009. And that will not change until he gets back on ABC and gets the count right.(Or he can go on NBC where there might be an opening at 11:30 soon.)
The funny part is that Beltran used his own doctor which, considering that Beltran has been at odds with the Mets medical philosophies before, should come as no surprise. He went to Richard Steadman last year, and that's who performed his latest surgery. The funnier part is the notion that the Mets are going to seek some sort of restitution for Beltran not keeping the Mets in the loop and making his own decision "without the Mets blessing". Yeah, like the blessing of the Mets really helped last season.
Except that last season is looking more and more like it's still this season.
Welcome back to 2009 ... the year that just wouldn't crawl into a hole and die.

Sigh.
What is the over/under on how many days until the announcement that Reyes needs to take a "few days off" as he is feeling some tightness. At least Beltran had the courtesy to wait until they locked in a couple of season ticket plans.
I swear, this is like having a bad dream that you can't wake up from. This goes back to the end of last year with the decision to let Beltran play the last three weeks of September. There was not a single reason in the world, other than ticket sales, to let him play. The season was lost. It was time to look towards 2010. Further proof that this is the most inept franchise in professional sports. My prediction is that we will see Beltran in Citi Field on Memorial Day.
that news just pissed me off. He should've had the surgery in the middle of last season when the Mets were already irrelevant. Why did he come back to play another month? Ok fine, he wanted to play because he was bored. Why not get the surgery, say, when the playoffs started?
UGH.. i'm gonna go look at some beirut boobs again
If you've seen "Mets Yearbook: 1963" on SNY, then you'd know Ed Kranepool, and not Dick Clark, deserved the title World's Oldest Teenager.
I'm sure Omar is investigating........
this is a situation that calls for an investigation if i've ever seen one. possibly several investigations
look at the bright side..delgado is done.beltran is gone after 2 years (maybe less), reyes is a free agent in 2 years (adios) and when we start losing in 2010, manuel and minaya will get the boot.with any luck the wilpons will sell the team.if not, they will be forced to get a new gm and a new manager and a new core of players.i call that progress in met land .
