I thought by now there would be more information and clarification on this Valdespin report from Rubin.

well none of us have a camera running behind these players….

as far as we know…Manny Ramirez could be Mother Theresa when he is in the streets…

but…Beltran’s a player who has modeled himself after Roberto Clemente in many ways..

the list of activities he does for folks is well known, published and far exceeds any Met I have ever seen.

My cousin said he met CB this day and dude was freezing his balls off handing out food personally to folks…

its one thing to donate money…its another to to be a millionaire walking around the hood with no bodyguard, and you still HAND DELIVER food to poor folks

Metsblog….never made a big deal of it…

Adam Rubin….who knows how many times Beltran flushes his toilet….never mentioned it…

This is why you dont know about it

Licey has yet to report Jordany Valdespin being suspended

as of right now we dont have any reason to believe Adam Rubin’s unnamed source isnt just an imaginary friend that always seems to target Met players for gossip.

Adam Rubin was the one who broke the story on Walter Reed ( fed by the front office )

Adam Rubin was the one who broke the story on Ike Davis ( fed by the front office )

It would not surprise me if this was the mets once again trying to create a new villian for met fans to boo

Adam Rubin was the one who first accused Omar of favoritism….on his THIRD DAY AS MET GM ( Oct 3rd 2004 )

Now he still has Omar’s name in his mouth….

unreal

Alot of us have been on one board or another since the internet really got going. The Wilpons alone use to get most of the flak for bad signings and lack of spending. Now Alderson has taken the reigns. Debating about how bad someone is doesn’t help educate the younger fans. It has its place but things have become increasingly polarized here and I think it should be our job as even minded experienced fans to help bring things back into perspective and get back to having relevant discussions about more things than how much of a tool Alderson is. On the other hand I see your point Alex. I watch it all the time. People make inflamatory remarks towards you guys all the time. I think it is because they know you guys will hammer back. The trolls are making you guys trolls. Don’t stoop to their level. You guys are baseball smart and good debaters lets get back to discussing stuff about the game rather than each other.

The venom your receive from people has nothing to do with this. It has to do with when you don’t like peoples opinions you state the one reason they like him is because of their dimples, or that they know nothing and to go away. It’s calling people sl*rp*rs (I had to repost this comment because you got this word banned. This is all you need to know right here). If you stuck with baseball and your opinions and didn’t do to the level of anger, insults and attacks you wouldn’t keep getting the heat that you do by others and the owner. People have different opinions and they may like to discuss different aspects of the game. If you don’t like it refrain from insulting them and acting like you are the master of the MMO comment section.

Nathan, i’ll give you this example, if i a person ALL THE TIME blames the wilpons for everything that’s going on with the mets, and accused them to be broke no matter who they get, but then does a 180 when sign wright and not once mention anything about them being broke as soon as they open the wallet for wright what would you say? Things like that we get to see here, but it’s us who often get call out for the alderson debate, yeah, he sucks as a GM, i don’t care who you are, the man sucks, yet people in here try to insist that he’s not at fault NOW when we had to endure and listen to those same people shove in our faces how great this guy is and how changes will be made. yeah, now that we were right all along somehow we hate the guy personally. you don’t see the problem here? We’re being pegged as the bad guys by the same people who don’t or didn’t wanna admit we were 100% aright bout this saberloser

Come on man, you know that won’t work right. It just makes you look bad. You guys do bring something to the table. However, it gets tired. I am realllllly bored with the Alderson debate, most of us know why he is here and are absolutely ready to talk about something else. But every comment section gets taken up by this same argument. Sometimes people need fresh perspective. Maybe it would be best just to take a break. Then when you come back maybe you’ll be more inclined to discuss other subjects and not feel that you are being personally baited. I’d hate for you guys to all get banned, the site would truly lose if that were to happen.

You would be correct Mr. North Jersey. The injury does not explain the 14 games he missed before he hurt his ankle. But some people only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts.

Alex68 — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:05:42 +0000

Joe D,you know what i am gonna do from now on? I am gonna go every 5 minutes to your email to show you all the reply post and comments i get from people insulting me, calling me names and trying to bait me too.. I guess if i do that you might see it from our POV. here i thought this was a free to speech type of blog, yet if one makes a comment about alderson then one is hating the guy personaly. Forget the fact that as a GM he has been terrible from top to bottom, if you speak negatively about the guy you’re hating. this is getting a bit sad to tell you the truth, go and check how evey comment i made this morning have been reply to and i’ve been insulted, yet i hardly curse or even enaged, but of course, you seem to only see the emails people send you about us.. got it.. Have a good day joe D, i am done with this conversation me and you have had many times.

If I read the reports right he was injured this past Sunday. The reported 2-week suspension occurred between the dates of Nov. 14 and Dec. 1.

Alex,

I agree with you that Beltran was a better player than Wright. It can’t be proven that he was a better “citizen” or “role model” as you put it. How do you even measure that? How do YOU personally know that? I measure them as players not as people. Your point about if Valdi did what Wright did he would have been killed. Correctly so in my book! Wright is a vet, Valdi is a rookie. Also I have to believe that acknowledging your dislike for Wright, even you have to agree that Wright has a bit more equity with management, the organization, the league, and the fans than Jordany Valdespin does, just a little, no?

Alex, again, I’m not picking on you or Bayonne. I don’t take sides. Not that it’s any of your business, but last night when I finally had access to internet, I deleted 8 comments from Donal and even one from Jessep.

I love the Mets and I love writing about them and commenting about them in the threads with all our readers. Now that my health only allows me a limited amount of time to do what I love, it sucks that 50% of that time has to be responding to emails from our readers who are offended by comments mostly made by you, Damaja and Bayonne. It sucks that instead of weighing in on some of these baseball rumors, I’m instead responding to you because you somehow think I am unfair.

I wish you could just stick to baseball at a baseball level. It’s when you attack everyone that gets all of you in trouble. You and Bayonne do nothing but attack. At one time you at least brought something to the table, but now it’s deteriorated to constant attacks on our friends at TRDM, our writers, and people who comment here.

You have lost your way and now seem incapable of have having a good dialog with anyone about anything related to the team.

When are the 2-3 of you gonna let go of that bag of bricks you are carrying and re-join the community without your biases and just enjoy the debates rather than shifting every debate into an opportunity to bash the 39% of women who view the site, calling our friends names, insulting the Met fans who write for us, or turning every thread into a hate-fest for Alderson or Wright?

Surely there has to be more to you than that, one would hope…

You can get away with just about anything in MLB attitude wise if you have the game to back it up. Spin however doesn’t have enough to overcome maturity/attitude/whatever issues.

And even if he was the next Joe Mc, he still would not bring enough to the table now to deserve a big role.

“HAd valdespin done what wright did to collins, fans would’ve literally gone to the stadium in form of a riot looking for valdespin’s head. it’s a fact.”

Not a fact – an opinion

” I don’t have a problem with wright, i have a problem that i can’t state my opinion with facts about a player without getting bashed or called hater for some reason.”

Again – what facts, you can’t tell the difference between fact and opinion, the other day you said Cole Hamels called David Wright a choke artist, and that never happened, he was actually the one baited on a radio program and said the TEAM, not David Wright, but TEAM that included your boys Beltran, Delgado, Reyes as well as Wright (and well as the rest of the roster) chocked the season.

You want to discuss Wright’s flaws, and there certainly are some, discuss, but stop with the lies and people will stop calling you a hater.

What an interesting string of comments. I’m kinda sad to see that Bay is gone. He was always good for a laugh. Alex, we aren’t in the clubhouse so who knows about anybody really. However, I do prefer that information be fact checked. If he hasn’t been suspended and the report is false then it does point to JV being pigeon holed. He has a reputation among the fanbase here for being a trouble maker, so did Lastings. Sometimes these reports are false and some times they only scratch the surface of a real issue. Oh, comparing the behavior of Valdespin and Wright was silly. Wright is a veteran who lost his cool with the manager JV is a kid who has yet to earn the right to be mouthy.

Check Aramis Ramirez and get back at me… Sloat, one thing i’ll say is this, Carlos Beltran was a better player, citizen and role model than wright. yet fans in here killed beltran for all kinds of reason, Wright does the same and less than beltran has and somehow he gets praised. I don’t have a problem with wright, i have a problem that i can’t state my opinion with facts about a player without getting bashed or called hater for some reason. HAd valdespin done what wright did to collins, fans would’ve literally gone to the stadium in form of a riot looking for valdespin’s head. it’s a fact.
