Vargas talks dispute: 'All the info isn't out there'

New York Mets lefty Jason Vargas started -- and answered questions -- for the first time since being fined for an expletive-filled confrontation with a reporter, and he said he doesn't think all the information is out there.

Vargas had to be restrained from going after a Newsday beat writer in the team's clubhouse following a loss at Wrigley Field on Sunday. He called it "an unfortunate distraction'' on Monday.

On Wednesday, after the Mets' 5-4 loss in 10 innings to the Philadelphia Phillies, he was asked for an explanation of the incident.
