“To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat.”
2008 February 18
Those 9 words (in English) from Mets Carlos Beltran have set the tone for this season [mlb].
“Let me tell you this,” Beltran said. “Without Santana, we felt, as a team, that we had a chance to win in our division. With him now, I have no doubt that we’re going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that. We’ve got what it takes.”
Let’s not forget last year’s Epic Fail by the Mets that was on the same level of suck as Ohio State versus any SEC team-level. Beltran is actually being a huge Puto (that is Spanish, google it), beating up on the Phillies ain’t that hard when history is on your side [phillysucks.com]:

Beltran, next time you feel like you should talk smack, try swinging at a Adam Wainwright pitch [link].

Sounds like he’s trying to get the jump on Rollins this year. It would be hilarious if neither of them made the playoffs and somehow the Braves or Marlins made it in.
The Bravos are going to win the division this year, mark it down
I have “fukudome fever” (patent pending). GO CUBS! THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR!
Yeah, the Cubbies are having the 100th Anniversary of their last world title this season… LOL
The Cubs are Buffalo Bills of baseball
If you win the division, the playoff games won’t even sell out. We may be the bills, but you are the dolphins. Worst fans in sports.
We win so much we get tired of it, my bad.
Another reason why the Cubs are a joke.
