“….you don’t want to be related to someone that has done something illegal.”
I’m glad I found that quote and I will tell you in a second who said it.
I’m glad you enjoy my blog but there’s lots of days I am writing it just for me. It’s therapy. I used to waste this stuff on 4 knucklehead buddies on an email chain, but taking the conversation public has really been enjoyable, especially now that I have new friends in the comments section.
This was going to be one of those soul searching articles written just for me. Then I found the quote.
It bothers me that the FBI talked to Reyes. Now it bothers me to learn they talked to Beltran.
I accuse noone of anything. I’m just saying it bothers ME.
I look at the other names and I see A-Rod and Tiger Woods. You start a list with those two and I half expect the next two names to be Ghengis Khan and Colonel Green (that’s for you Trekkies, everyone else look it up).
I think of every half-rumor of the last 20 years. I think of how Canseco was called a moron when he wrote a book. I think of 1998. I wonder what the FBI is after. I worry. I wanted this to go away not add another name.
I think about my confidence when it comes to anything related to the Mets and medical treatment. I worry.
So far the commenters on the blog think the story is nothing. Do you?
“Like I say, you don’t want to be related to someone that has done something illegal.”. Those are the words of Carlos Beltran
Well, obviously the more you’re linked, the more you’re actually considered to have done things. The thing to cling to here is that both Beltran and Reyes appear to have gone to this doctor after they were injured, and for a short time. There was no ‘smuggling’ the trainer into the park, and everything was run through the team as well (although the team is just as capable of wanting to cheat as a player).
