Mets' Figueora says Nats are Bush Leaguers
Nelson Figueroa knows about bush league baseball. After all, he's toured
the world trying to resurrect his major league career.But not until Monday
night did Figueroa witness a truly amateurish display, the New York Mets
pitcher suggested. Incensed at the chants emanating from the Wa****ngton
dugout during the Mets' 10-4 loss Monday night at Shea, Figueroa ripped
the
Nationals afterward.
"They were cheerleading in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls,"
Figueroa said. "I'm a professional, just like anybody else. I take huge
offense to that. If that's what a last-place team needs to do to fire
themselves up, so be it. I think you need to show a little bit more class,
a
little bit more professionalism. They won tonight, but again, in the long
run, they are who they are."
Figueroa couldn't pinpoint the culprits, but suggested the serenading
peaked
during the third inning, when the Nats loaded the bases and he forced in a
run by walking Nick Johnson.
"Don't care," Figueroa said about learning the names of the perpetrators.
"Truly unprofessional. "That's why they are who they are."
