09:24 AM ET 06.06 | Pirates first baseman Adam LaRoche blasted Carlos Beltran Friday in Houston, a day after the Met said he was "embarrassed" to be swept in Pittsburgh. "I think it shows zero class and zero professionalism," LaRoche told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "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. "You know, if we're as bad as he says we are and we swept them, then what's that make them?"

Point well made Adam !

Way to tell him Adam, he should be proud to be swept by the team that is going to extend the record for consecutive losing seasons.

Who is Adam Laroche ?
and WOW does he have a big mouth-

Oh I just checked- he's currently a .245 hitter that was DUMPED
by the Braves and is on the Pirates......yeah- he's a someone

since he's been in Pitt- the team hasn't won more than 70 games
AND last year they were a close 30 games back
They haven't had a winning season since 1992

So yeah- he's right to be 'upset' with carlos......

Ah, they just did sweep the Mets. Lets not get on Laroche, you know he completely right in what he said. No reason to trash the guy for lashing back at Beltran in this case.

June 6, 2009  11:25 AM ET

The Mets suck!!! Oh yes they do....I'm loving it!!

June 6, 2009  11:34 AM ET

you would think hed keep his mouth shut....the mets were a team that could possiblty have looked at him slightly but now theres zero chance we'd pick him up...im not sayin i want him on the team but hes a first baseman and i heard his name a couple times..ina way im happy this happened cuz now i dont gotta worry about seein that bum laroche in a mets uniform...so THANKYOU ADAM!!!

We don't need cockroach on the team. Plus Beltran doesn't usually say too much...he's allowed to speak once an a while. Beltran was right anyway...

Laroche is better than anything the mets have to put on first base right now. So, I'm also glad that you feel they wouldn't want him. The guy is a solid player though.

Wait... did LaRoche or Beltran say anything wrong?? They're both 100% right... Beltran should be embarrassed that his team got swept by the team that's about to break the record for consecutive losing seasons. And LaRoche should be upset that Beltran would say that out loud. But they're both right here.

And LaRoche's numbers aren't THAT great. He's not an improvement over Daniel Murphy to me, I'm sorry...

"You know, if we're as bad as he says we are and we swept them, then what's that make them?"

Umm, embarrassed?

You tell him guy. Your internet **** talking is so tough. I'm sure that you, being a big bad New Yorker and all, would really scare LaRoche.

June 6, 2009  12:29 PM ET

I guess LaRoche didnt notice that the Mets fielded a triple A lineup vs the Pirates. LaRoche should not be speaking because hes probably the next one out in Pittsburg, this comes after a day he rips the pirates for trading McClouth. Yea real classy Adam...

Beltran was wrong to say it regardless of whether it's true or not. It's a matter of professionalism as Laroche stated. And if you don't think Laroche would be much improved over Murphy than the mets deserve what they get which will be another dissappointing season.

Well, he's probably tired of fielding a triple A lineup as well. I guess you could say that series may as well have been the triple A league.
