This is a good sign. The Mets need Beltran to have some swagger. This bodes well for those late season pressure situations when he seems to choke.
Take no prisoners Carlos !

Belto getting an MVP now would be nice.

As long as he helps bring the big prize, I don't what he gets -

i just read that, let's see how the phillies like it now that we've turned tables...i bet they crack under pressure

For some reason, Beltran finally acting like he has balls makes it feel like this could be one fun year. Shea can go out with a WS win, an MVP, and a no-hitter - The Magic Is Back !

Let - Go - Mets !

[NJMetfan4life]

None of this

That's bad karma man - stop !

I really don't get why this is such a big deal. If asked, damn near every player on a good team would say their team is best, or that they were the team to beat. Dempster just said the Cubs would win the WS. Happens all the time.

I may be the only one on this thread, but I like it a lot better when players don't smack talk and win on the field.

As a Super Bowl loser said, "Well done is better than well said".


I personally would have preferred no one on the team say "We're the team to beat". I think it's just easier to deal with because no when they lose to Philly or Beltran is in a slump, it's gonna be brought up. I don't think this is going to effect anyone on the team. It shouldn't make them work harder to win.

I prefer medium to well done. mmmmmmm...yum.

Yea, don't you hate that kind of smack ? It's so much more interesting to hear laconic, bland cliches. God forbid a pro athlete show some spunk.
