A letter to Carlos Delgado from our friend Jobu


Dear Carlos Delgado,

Please accept my apologies re: the bashing you have received from me (I was very hard on you and not nice at all) and ALL the fans since opening day. I mean watching you in the beginning of the season, was like listening to nails on a chalk board. But since July YOU are BACK BABY!!! Keep up the great work. Are you studying your notebook more? Is it the great amount of patience at the plate and NOT chasing the inside JUNK you were convinced you could hit in the first 3 months of the season (you looked ugly chasing inside junk early)?

Carlos, whatever you are doing, keep it up. You are stirring the drink. See if you can get Beltran to take a sip. If your resurgence (along with Ollie P) according to Newsday’s Johnette Howard coincides with the firing of Willie and The Jacket, then I will give props to Omar for finally pulling that trigger in the middle of the night on June 17th. Remember, the change HAD to be made, but they shouldn’t have been on the plane. It should have happened before the Mets hit the West coast.

Met fans should really send cards and letters to your wife Betzaida. As the story goes, she found it on the kitchen table in Puerto Rico where you left it before reporting to training camp in February. Carlos PLEASE make sure the book is updated and with you at all times. I know the book means a lot to you and you play MUCH better when you have it.

Once again, thanks for showing up and keeping your head in the game,

I am sorry for being so nasty and obnoxious and I’m glad to have you back,

Jobu
