…John Kruk on Basbeall Tonight… “I’ll tell you what Karl. This guy is just phenomenal…but what he did coming in to this series was the Braves were on a roll. They were hot. And here comes everyone in the media…around baseball saying..here comes the Braves…don’t count them out. But Carlos Beltran..he took a personal dislkiing to the fact that the Braves were coming on their heels and he decided to do something about it…
6 for 15, 4HRs, 12 RBI’s in a 3 game series…
….they finally get a closer in Bob Wickman…Danny Baez… and think they’re going to make a run…and then Mr. Beltran just says you know what, go get anyone you want, because I’m I’m putting an end to this division right now with a statement…that was a huge statement!..going into Atlanta and sweeping 3 games!”
