BELTRAN X-RAYS NEGATIVE
Doctors: Mets Centerfielder is "just a wuss"

By Marty Ignoble - CPF Sports

HOUSTON -- The Mets received word late Saturday that X-rays on Carlos Beltran were negative, hours after their center fielder had injured his left knee crashing into a chain-link fence in left-center field at Minute Maid Park

Beltran was removed from the game after making a magnificent, leaping game-saving catch, taking a score-tying hit away from his former teammate, Lance Berkman. Before leaving for the hospital, he limped conspicuously as he left the clubhouse after saying he couldn't bear weight on his left leg.

Beltran, the team's primary candidate for the Most Valuable Player award, was taken to a local hospital for additional examination, and he was diagnosed with a bruised left knee after X-Rays came back negative. The centerfielder is listed as day-to-day. Local doctors stated that no structural damage was found and that Beltran is "just a wuss".

Prior to leaving for the hospital Beltran was examined by Dr. Warren Kadrmas (CQ), who had worked with the team in Spring Training. Dr. Kadrmas seemed unconcerned when speaking with reporters. "I worked closely with Carlos during March", said the doctor, "and he was a sissy then too."

Beltran is expected to sit out the series finale on Sunday.

CF - Great headline. Thanks for the much needed laugh

Lol, nice CF. Have to admit the way he was acting out there you'd thought they were going to have to amputate.

If it were Cliffy they'd have hauled him off on a stretcher, or a gurney ...
or maybe even a hearse.

If it had been Jeter, they would already be naming the new Yankee Stadium in his honor.

Later
