Delgado Hates Being Liked

Carlos Delgado exploded out of a slump for two bombs last night. After the second, the fans at Shea Stadium were cheering for a curtain call. Delgado, however, decided not to pop out of the dugout for a salute. He said it didn't feel like the right spot. Are players allowed to determine that? I was always under the impression that it's an honor, as a player, to be cheered on by fans. That if they call you out for a wave, you go out and wave. Delgado was clearly trying to prove a point. Mets fans had been booing his sub-.200 average and single digit RBI total the past week or two. But how can he blame Mets fans for being upset with his performance? He knows how bad he's been. Delgado should be excited, along with the fans, that his slump is over. What a jerk. Apparently, after the snub, David Wright exchanged words with Carlos in the dugout. Delgado claims they were "talking about pitch sequence" from the at-bat, but that's about as believable as saying Keeping up with the Kardashians isn't scripted. (That show is why terrorists hate us) Delgado said he only does curtain calls on special occasions. He went on to explain that the only times he has saluted the fans in such a way was after his 400th HR and when he hit four in one game a while back. I doubt this is true, and One Droo Hill no longer supports Carlos Delgado. He's a liar. And he didn't stand for "God Bless America." (I could care less about that, I just needed to end the post with some solid negativity).
