Trouble in Paradise?
MetsToday is not in the habit of starting rumors … but helping spread them is another issue altogether.
Diehard readers of MetsBlog may remember frequent contributor Luke Halpert, who is now blogging at NyJer. Anyway, according to Halpert’s “sources”, there is trouble in the Mets clubhouse.
Purportedly, Mets manager Willie Randolph is unhappy with Carlos Beltran’s lack of passion and his lollygagging around the bases. Further, a racial divide has occurred in the clubhouse, separating the Latinos and non-Latinos, and some players are complaining about Carlos Delgado batting cleanup despite a .220 batting average. The major stars of this made-for-TV drama are Julio Franco and Paul LoDuca.
Can it be true? Is New York City large enough to hold two baseball soap operas?
Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of As the Mets Turn…
