Beltran's Struggles Really Hurting Mets!

Thursday night's switching Ryan Church to cleanup was genius! The Mets offense rolled. Why wasn't he in the lineup Friday in a huge game vs the Phillies? Carlos Beltran's struggles continue and I am growing tired of it. Something needs to be done. Overrated and overpaid, Beltran is certainly still cashing in on a one huge playoff series. After striking out looking against the Cardinals in Game 7 of the NLCS in 2006, I have had a hard time rooting for him. The big hitter of the team should never be trying to walk in the biggest games.
The man is hitting in the .260 range since coming to the Mets? That's not good enough.
How about when this happens, the players are required to give back some of the millions they have "stolen" from us? Why don't sports teams pay players for current performance? Isn't that they way we are all paid?
Why do all the announcers think he is so smooth and fast when he runs? To me, it appears that he hardly ever hustles. I rarely seem him dive all out for a ball. Where is the hustle down the base lines?
This weekend is huge for the Mets to get back into the race. Faltering will pretty much seal the deal for the year. There is no excuse for pitching around him because Delgado isn't hitting. With Delgado hitting and Ryan Church back, that is not happening now. He has had so many opportunities lately with runners on. So many strikeouts and popouts and groundouts without getting the RBI's is appalling for a "so called All Star".
No more excuses Carlos, get the job done or be gone. I work hard for my money that I spend to watch you blow so many chances. .260 is not good enough for the millions you get paid!
