If Beltran didn't take the curtain call, his Met career would be over. It is a big deal. He is lucky Franco was there and he listened to him. If he didn't do it, he would've been booed all year long, doens't matter if he produced or not. BTW, I have no problems with fans booing, we do it because we want you to succeed.Comment

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...
Originally posted by camulosI don't think it's showboating, but I can see why he wouldn't want to come out and give a curtain call to the same fans that were booing you earlier. Granted, NY is a tough place to play but that doesn't give the fans carte blanche to act like morons.Comment

Originally posted by camulosAbsolutely. Any fan that boos a player not named Barry Bonds after 3 games in a 162 game season, is a moron. Especially when that guy is one of your best players. The thing that annoys me, is they'll ask for the curtain call after his HR, then go back to booing him the next game.Comment

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...
Originally posted by cjonesfan921I disagree. They're booing him because they want him to do good. On a side note, I was listening to the Stephen A show and both Stephen A and the other guy said the fans weren't morons in booing and that if Beltran didn't come out, he wouldn't be a Met too long. I agree it's too early to boo but when your making 17 mil, they expect a lot.Comment

And he will be a Met for sometime. No one else is going to take his contract for the kind of production he generates.Comment

Originally posted by camulosSo if he didn't come out for a curtain call, the Mets would suddenly be compelled to trade him, or the fans would turn on him? It's just a stupid way for fans to somehow feel like they're involved. I guess I just never understood booing a player on your own team based on his performance, unless he isn't putting in the effort.Comment

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...
Originally posted by cjonesfan921Trust me, fans would turn on him like nothing. I think the main reason he is being booed, not just this year but last year, is because he came here with so much expectations(way overhyped) and didn't come close to any of it. That and the fact that he made it clear he wanted to be a Yankee probably has somehting to do with it.
So what? The fans don't field a position on the field. The fans turning on him has no true affect on how the Mets play. Would they rather still have Mike Cameron out there? If I'm Beltran, I wouldn't show them any respect if they aren't giving me the same. I bet he wouldn't mind being traded out of there right now. I can't say I feel bad for him though, he went to the highest bidder and could be in Houston right now.
I agree with camulos, I think booing your own is absurd, unless they're proven to be a bad human being (and even in that case, I wouldn't boo, just wouldn't cheer).Comment

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...
Originally posted by FootballForeverBeltran gets his first hit wich is a two Run HR, then refuses to come out to a curtian call, until J.Franco tells him to get his *ss out there and take it, the he does. They say the Boo's have been getting to Beltran. Well guess what Beltran this is NY, get used to it and stop crying. I love having Franco on this team, he a one of the best guy's to have on the bench, I love him...
Booing him on opening day is rediculous.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Re: No Curtain Call for Beltran @ FootballForever
Check it.....take off your ROSE COLORED glasses. You REALLY didnt read what I wrote...to grasp ALL that I said. And if the only thing you can see fit to reply to, is my calling those booing fans stupid (remember under what context I said it), then you have not been paying attention.
I'll repeat, those IDIOTS that were booing Beltran...and I am going to make a correction here...booing Beltran after his FIRST AT BAT IN 2006 are ALL IDIOTS!!! It's inexcuseable, counterproductive and once again shows...that there are a ton of 'so called' fans who simply arent educated about the game-end of siscussion.
If you tell me that after a month of not getting it done, Beltran is booed unmercilessly, you get absolutely NO argument. But after his FIRST AT BAT....it's stupid and I'll keep on saying it till you understand. That first at bat nonsense is what home fans should do with OPPOSING batters.
And don't give me this garbage about, "...you know you will get booed in NY when your not playing well..." Not playing well after ONE AT BAT in 2006?!?!?!? You call that not playing well...Please...
And oh yeah, you're OUT alright...out of touch
I'm out.....
Originally posted by FootballForevercome on man, you know you will get booed in NY when your not playing well, so I have nothing wrong with fans booing, thats just how it is here, and you should know this. For you to call Mets fans that are booing stupid, I say that comment is straight up stupid. If it the first 3 games of the season or the last 3, if your not playing well you will get booed, and if you are playing well, you will be cheered, thats how sports go here in NY period.

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...@ NYJets
LOL! While I won't agree he shoulda flipped the fans off (ala' Jack McDowell), I totally agree that booing him or any other player on OPENING day is ridiculous...and to boo after ANY players' FIRST AT BAT, is moronic......
Originally posted by NYJetsHe should have come out and flipped all the fans off.

Re: The 2006 New York Mets...@ Misfit
Misfit, I agree with you..and the funny thing with too many of these 'so-called' Mets fans....is when Cameron was here...they were booing his azz out of town...and then when he was traded for Nady this past off-season, you should have heard the outcry...you would thought it was David Wright or someone of that stature that was dealt away.....
Incredible.....
