Nelson Figueroa had had enough, so he tongue-lashed the Washington Nationals for
their anticts during his latest start. Figueroa compared the Nats' dugout behavior to that of a girls softball team.
"They won tonight," Figueroa said after dropping the 10-4 decision, "but again, in the long run, they are who they are." Sounds like a page out of
Dennis Green's postgame press-conference handbook.
Figueroa won't have to worry about witnessing Washington's ways anymore. The Mets
released him before Tuesday's game, bringing up
Claudio Vargas to take his spot on the roster.
Fantasy Impact: Figueroa wasn't a big fantasy player and Vargas has never been much of one over his career. Figueroa needs to check himself for his own pitching debacle before he rails on the opponent's bench.
