Why I'm Going to be Newsday's New Editor
Remember, this is ALL OPINION.
I went to Metsblog after I returned from getting my braces tightened (once again, they are orange and blue). There was a link to a Newsday article by this guy that's going to be writing for si.com soon. Well, I don't think he'll do a very good job there because he made three found errors in his article...about Carlos.
The errors are not in order because I'm listing them from least annoying to most annoying.
Error #1:
"Beltran once agreed to buy a $3-million condo on tony Beekman Place, ..."
Ok, well, I don't see why he didn't capitalize Tony in Tony Beekman, even though I have no idea who he is. The little things annoy me, I know. You don't have to scream.
Error #2:
"Beyond the contract and his place on People's best-looking list, ..."
Arrgh. It's People's 100 Most Beautiful People List, not People's best-looking list, WITHOUT CAPITALS. Goshhh...
And finally, Error #3, the one that annoys me SO MUCH it's unbelievable:
"He had the home built for him, his wife, Rebecca, ..."
OH. MY. GOD. HIS WIFE'S NAME IS JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!! How does he not know that? I was so angry when I saw that. I went to Jen and told her I'd crack about that for days. I am soooo pissed at that it's not even funny. If it really is, err, "Rebecca," I am going to screw up Carlos's fanbase because the only way that could be possible is if he divorced Jess and somehow got married within three months. IMPOSSIBLE, I TELL YA, IMPOSSIBLE!! And I hate divorced people. =)
If this is true, the article said he has two...uhh...don't think he's gay, pleeease, ... how do I say this... POODLES. One's name is Zion and the other is...Toy. Either he likes strange names or he has a mental problem. I'm sad about how he doesn't have his monkeyyyy. He needs a llama. Billy! Finish your bullpen session and GIVE CARLOS ONE OF YOUR ALPACAS!!
Also, I'm a good friend of one of the girls that works at the Land and Sea (you know, the diner with the good eggs) and she said she's going to Boston next week with her cousin to see the Mets play the Red Sox. Where are they sitting, you asked? Behind home plate. =) We're all just jealous, aren't we? I told her to take lots of pictures of Carlos and she WILL, I tell ya, she WILL.
Well... that's all of my ranting for today. Bye bye Mister...

The "tony" one is not a mistake. He's using tony as an adjective there, not as a first name. The neighborhood is "Beekman Place." It was like saying "on scenic Beekman place." Look up "tony" in a dictionary and you'll see.
