Note: Lo Duca on Figueroa, WFAN

... just trying to have a little fun.  I think they saw Figueroa getting a little upset, so they amped it up a couple of notches.  I do think it’s a little bush league.  At first it started off as a little fun, until he got mad. I don’t agree with it.  But, also, Nelson Figueroa has nine wins in the big leagues and he needs to keep his mouth shut.” For more, check out Adam Rubin’s blog for the Daily News. To listen to Lo Duca’s entire discussion, go to ...

Paul Lo Duca on 'Softball Girls', Nelson Figueroa, and Cheating

... break. That's too bad, because it means we're not going to hear nearly as many great quotes out of Lo Duca as we normally would. Thank goodness that the Nationals let Lo Duca travel on the road trip to New York (the Nats don't usually let injured players travel, but gave Lo Duca a pass because he lives in NY), or else we probably wouldn't have heard Paul's take on "Cheer-gate" and Nelson Figueroa, courtesy of his appearance on WFAN (through Adam Rubin's Mets blog at the Daily News): "I don't know. I'm not a big fan of it to be honest with you. I'll be ...

LoDuca: Anti-Softball Cheers
Published 5/14/2008 by Dan Steinberg at D.C. Sports Bog
... that veteran baseball writers would not approve of softball-style dugout cheers emanating from Major League dugouts, that non-veteran sports bloggers would approve of such cheers in the strongest terms possible, and that many Major League veterans would side with the former rather than the latter. In other words, that there probably wasn't universal support in the Nats dugout for the Elijah-Dukes led cheering brigade the other night. Right. So Paul Lo Duca called into WFAN today, and Surfing the Mets (via ...

Paul Lo Duca bashes teammates, violates baseball's top rule
Published 5/14/2008 at Big League Stew
... so, the picture would be a deadly accurate representation of what Lo Duca just did today. If you haven't yet heard, the Nats catcher went on WFAN radio in New York and then roundly smashed his current Washington teammates for their celebrations during Monday night's game against the Mets. On the scale of baseball no-no's, I'd rank that just below having sexual relations with the star player's wife. (Guess it's a good thing the Nationals don't have any of those.) His take, via the NY Daily News: “I don’t know. I’m not a ...

N.Y. Daily News: Lo Duca calls WFAN Meh...I just found out that Rays honcho, Stuart Sternberg...used to call into John Sterling’s crapantheon sports radio show back in the early 70’s! On Monday’s cheers in the dugout: “I wasn’t there. The last few games - I’m on the DL. They have a policy here, the Nationals, when you’re on the DL you stay home. But they let me come on this trip because I live here. “I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of it to be honest with you. I’ll be honest with you. You know, we’re struggling. Guys are just trying to have a little fun. I think they saw ...

First Time Caller, Long Time Mentor To Teenage Girls : Paulie Go Nuts Rings WFAN

OK, Captain Red Ass calling Joe Beningo-Gazingo (mp3) wasn’t quite sensational enough to distract attention from Aaron Heilman’s latest failure, but I’m a big believer in staying away from too many negative posts about the Metropolitans, just on the off chance Matthew Cerrone is hit by a bus and SNY wanna spend some money elsewhere. Here’s a couple of highlights from this afternoon’s effervescent WFAN chat, as reported by the New York Daily News’ Adam Rubin : On Monday’s cheers in the ...

Paul Lo Duca misses New York

... by a doctor. A lot of guys did it. There’s a lot of guys in front of me that did it. Like I said, I’m not making excuses. It was part of survival. You want to be at home or you want to be playing? That’s the way it was. I apologized for what I did, but that’s plenty true.” This was my first time hearing anything from him but he said he apologized so maybe I missed it. Either way, this is yet another person who confirmed that the Mitchell Report was correct. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2008/05/lo-duca-calls-wfan.html Lo Duca ...

... blank. Although, I’ll cherish the Softball Girls line forever and it certainly gave the blogosphere something to buzz about. And I have to admit to feeling a bit of schadenfreude when Fegueroa was designated for assignment the day after his insulting comments. I did take offense to the “they are who they are” comment. Yeah, look in the mirror buddy! Those “softball girls” kicked your butt right down to the minor leagues! On another note, what the heck is our catcher doing calling the local radio station in New York, broadcast partner for his old team, to diss his current ...
