During his appearance on WFAN today, Mets C Brian Schneider had the following to say when asked about the attitude in the team’s clubhouse:

“I’ve been in a few and this is a great one. Everyone is loose. We had a great road trip, faced some top teams. Everyone enjoys each other. This is one of the best clubhouses I’ve been a part of.”

Schneider, regarding the Nationals cheering from the dugout, and whether Elijah Dukes, who was accused of being the ring leader, should be knocked down with a pitch, said:

“It caught my attention a couple of times. I’m not used to seeing that in the big leagues, but I wouldn’t use the term ‘Bush League’ to describe it…I’d rather strike (Dukes) out, keep him off base. That’s the way I’d take care of it.”

To hear Schneider’s entire interview, during which he also discussed Scott Schoeneweis, Nelson Figueroa, and the Subway Series, among other things, go to WFAN.com.

…schneider has been a great addition to the team…he’s very good at dealing with the media, and handling the mets’ pitching staff, neither of which is tracked by statistics…i feel that by the end of the season, we will feel very good about the contributions he has made on the field as well…
