Strawberry's kid is pretty good at basketball...

LoDuca and his feminine eyebrows were suspended 2 games. She's appealing. I hope Cole buries one in the ribs on Friday night.

Lo Duca outburst has Latin accent

Calls out media, Hispanic mates

Admitting he was "in a bad mood all day," Paul Lo Duca announced in a near-empty clubhouse last night - and on the eve of the Mets' key NL East showdown with the Phillies - that some of his Spanish-speaking teammates need to be held more accountable by the media.

"I'll do this (interview), but you need to start talking to other players," Lo Duca announced loudly after he was approached by a radio reporter after the Mets-Cardinals series finale was washed out by rain. "It's the same three or four people every day. Nobody else wants to talk. Some of these guys have to start talking. They speak English, believe me."

A crazy-eyed Lo Duca, of course, also had a few choice things to say last Saturday night to umpire Marvin Hudson to earn a two-game suspension that still is pending an appeal. But the fact that Lo Duca's words last night were directed more at his Spanish-speaking teammates' interaction with the media was a telling admission in one of the most diverse clubhouses in baseball.

In recent games, SNY analyst Keith Hernandez also has singled out stars Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado for needing to take more responsibility and accountability about the team's June swoon.

Approached shortly after Lo Duca's pronouncement, but not directly asked about it, Delgado politely declined to be interviewed, saying with a smile, "I have no comments, I'm going home."

Moments after Lo Duca's blowup, however, Beltran had asked the media if anyone needed to speak with him.

The Mets' 25-man roster contains 13 players who hail from predominantly Spanish-speaking countries (not including injured Pedro Martinez, Endy Chavez, Duaner Sanchez or Moises Alou), although media accessibility with any of them is normally no more an issue than with any other player.

Before the rainout, Lo Duca's ire similarly had been raised when he was asked for an update on his appeal of the ban and for his availability for this weekend's four-game series in Philadelphia, which starts with a day-night doubleheader today.

"Listen up, everybody," LoDuca had shouted. "Stop asking me when I'm going to drop my suspension (appeal). When are you guys going to drop it? I'm tired of talking about it. Go ask Tony (Bernazard) or Willie (Randolph). God almighty, it's like the president got killed."

Billy Wagner couldn't resist the obvious follow-up query, deadpanning to Lo Duca, "So, when are you going to drop it?"

Randolph confirmed he still anticipates having Lo Duca available for all four games in Philadelphia, adding "he'll probably deal with his appeal next week, after the Philly series."

Lo Duca's marital problems, gambling habits and personal life were publicly scrutinized throughout last season. He snapped at a reporter two months ago when he was asked about a photograph of himself and a woman in the winner's circle at Aqueduct. Asked for the woman's name, Lo Duca erupted, "That's my life. That's my personal life. That's none of your business. How would you like it if I went to your house and took pictures of your wife?"

Lo Duca had to be held back by Mets public relations director Jay Horwitz, while teammate Julio Franco hurried from the other side of the clubhouse to get between Lo Duca and the reporter.

In the ribs, Cole. In the ribs.
