Wouldn't that be something special if the Mets DFA Figueroa and the Nationals pick him up. He could be cheering with Dukes by the end of the week....... If the News is right, then baseball deisions are ruling the day vice money decisions. Like I said earlier sending down Smith would be a decision from the owners not the GM or manager. “It would look like Nelson Figueroa’s poor performance Monday night is the major factor.

Vargas wasn’t under consideration even yesterday afternoon because the spot starter was supposed to be returned to New Orleans right after the game to make room for Matt Wise.

Why did the plan change? It would look like Nelson Figueroa’s poor performance Monday night is the major factor. I’d be seriously worried arriving at the ballpark today if I were Figueroa, since a Vargas call-up would mean he’s in the rotation for more than one turn.

This type of behavior earned Valentine the distinction as the most hated man in baseball. One of his players, Brian McRae, once commented that opponents tried extra hard to beat the Mets, because they disliked Valentine. So, does this kind of thing happen? Occasionally. Is it well received? Almost never. As for Figgy's reaction, I wonder whether his comments reflect a larger problem with the Mets on the whole: Indifference. Their pitcher is out there, unable to throw strikes, and the other team is behaving unprofessionally -- and, best we can tell, no one on his own team gives a damn. If nothing more, the Mets didn't give the Nats any motivation _not_ to behave this way.

The way I gauge these things is by intent. If the Nationals were just trying to get their guys going by collectively reliving their youth in an attempt to make the game fun for a last place club, I don't have a problem with it. However, if it was aimed at Figgy, I have an issue with it, but Figgy still handled it poorly. I used to manage a little league team a couple years back when I was in college (and had more time) and the kids used to sing songs and come up with cheers all the time. Whenever one of my pitchers had a problem with the other team's cheers, I would tell them: "do not even acknowledge them... it's just you and the glove out there. If you want the cheering to stop, you need to shut them up. Get focused on start striking them out, trust me, they'll stop." Soon our pitchers got a rep for getting "mad" when other teams chanted... lo and behold, the chanting stopped. You don't even have to hit another player to send a message. If you don't like the chanting, you need to get in the zone and start dealing. Trust me, mowing down the opposition will cut the bush league nonsense a lot faster than acknowledging it with sarcastic clapping. Kevin, I didn’t watch the game, so I am only going off of reports.
