Highlights from Interview with Figueroa

I'm sure most Amazin' Avenue fans already read Matt Cerrone's Metsblog pretty regularly, but there's a really good post covering several interviews with Nelson Figueroa, who makes his Mets starting debut tonight.

He sounds like the kind of guy you definitely want to root for.

Highlights:

-Figueroa's a huge Mets fan and has been for a long time.

-He likes to pitch deep into games.

-He name-drops Gregg Jefferies.

-Check the comments below the post for more quotes.

Figgy

I'm definitely rooting for him, though I don't have especially high hopes. He looked really sharp in his first relief outing of the year, but it was in a blowout against the Marlins. His more recent appearances was less encouraging. If he can allow fewer runs than innings pitched tonight I'll probably be satisfied.
