Beltran 'Embarrassed' After Mets Loss

by Matt SnyderFiled under: Mets, NL EastThursday afternoon, the Mets lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates, completing a three-game sweep at the hands of a team who has already waved the white flag on 2009 by trading Nate McLouth, their best offensive player. Carlos Beltran -- who is hitting .356 with seven home runs, 32 RBI, 32 runs and seven stolen bases in addition to playing superb defense -- is apparently tired of not getting much help from his New York teammates. The 32-year-old center fielder, often maligned by some in the media for not taking enough of a leadership role with the team (I'm looking right at you, Steve Phillips), was a tad bit angry after Thursday's 11-6 defeat. In fact, the soft-spoken Beltran got pretty vocal about his team.Beltran 'Embarrassed' After Mets Loss originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:40:00 EST .
