Guest Post: A Mets Fan’s Perspective on Beltran

Beltran, before and after.

This week’s guest post is from Chris McCown, former contributor with Future Considerations and current contributor to MetsGeek. I asked him to write about Carlos Beltran, who — not Johnny Damon — is the Five-Tool Star The Royals Let Get Away.

Other Chris asked me here today to talk about Carlos Beltran. As a Mets fan (ducks tomatoes), I’ve been asked to remind you lot what it is like to have Carlos Beltran on your team (more dodging). I’m not getting paid (throwing ceases), unlike Carlos (resumes). Chris did offer me “hypothetical offspring from his next relationship”, which, as he is a blogger, I immediately just assumed was either Americana and Conspiracy Of One, or a street term for whatever they found in Jose Guillen’s locker last season.

Having Carlos Beltran on your team is, I imagine, about what it was like being the first man on your block to own a microwave. “Oh you had to spend all day on the stove with those leftovers? Well, I just kinda popped them in and pushed 60.”
