(by Brett Kahn)Figueroa had a right to be angry after a less than stellar performance last night in a 10-4 loss against the last place Washington Nationals. However, the worst of his performance might have come after the game during the post game interview when Figueroa took offense to Washington's post-game celebration.
"They were cheering in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls," he said. "I am a professional, I take great offense to that. ... They won tonight, but in the long run, look who they are, a last-place team. ... They should show a little more class and act a little more professional." And then the kicker: "That's why they are who they are." (NEWYORKMETS.COM)
Catcher Brian Schneider also took slight offense. "It sounded like the College World Series," the former Nationals catcher said. "I guess they're trying anything now." (NEWYORKMETS.COM)
John Maine goes tonight in the second game of the three-game series. If Maine can duplicate his last performance, I'm sure the Mets won't have to worry about the Nationals celebrating.
