Around SBN: Josh Hamilton Reportedly Seen Drinking In Dallas Bar

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.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
