Adam LaRoche responded to Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran's comments Thursday that he was "embarrassed" after being swept by the Pirates. "I think it shows zero class and zero professionalism," the first baseman said Friday. "When somebody says that, they know what they're saying, and they know it's going to get out. He knows we're not going to be real happy about it. If you go and say that to your buddies, it's one thing. If you go to the media and make that public for us to hear? Yeah, that's no class." LaRoche paused before sending a zinger Beltran's way. "You know, if we're as bad as he says we are and we swept them, then what's that make them?"
