It was a bad Wednesday for the New York Mets. First, a story about Johan Santana getting sued. Then, the Mets lost another game Wednesday night to the Colorado Rockies 6-2. Leading 2-1 in the 8th, Mets manager Jerry Manuel, in a show of real confidence towards his closer, elected not to use K-Rod to get the final 4 outs. Despite another Mets bullpen meltdown, the real fireworks occurred after the game:
Francisco Rodriguez was charged with third-degree assault early Thursday morning after an altercation with his father-in-law at Citi Field, the police said.
Rodriguez was in custody after the altercation, the police said, which occurred after the Mets’ 6-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies. His father-in-law, whose name was not disclosed, was taken to an area hospital with a bump on his head and an abrasion to his face.
On the plus side, this is probably the first time K-Rod has actually done a good job beating someone since signing with the Mets. It's hard to believe the Mets at one time led the NL East this season.
