K-Rod's arrest

[Elliotte Friedman]

Jesus. This is ugly. Mets should, at least, suspend him until the restraining order is lifted.

He used to be married to an older woman, I thought.

Whatever happened to her?

Stumping for a colleague, Lisa Olson blasted this one out of the park:

They don't have to worry about suspending him.

He's done for the season with a torn thumb ligament, probably suffered in the fight.

 

[spnited]

According to statement released by Mets is was sustained during the fight. Will have surgery and never again be seen at Citi Field. They'll find a way to unload him in the winter

 

[YankeeFan]

Anyway they will try to and/or be able to get out of paying him what he's due for the rest of the season?

Maybe they can trade him to Kansas City for Kevin McReynolds.

Appears as though they're looking into at least voiding the remaining two full seasons of the deal: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/baseball/mlb/08/16/mets.rodriguez/index.html?eref=sihp

Well done by Lisa - as usual. Thanks, Moddy.

How bad was this? When Carlos Beltran, of all people, is belting you in front of the media, someone screwed up.

This being the Mets, though, they'll end up signing him to a six-year, $130 million extension.

Jim Hendry just found a way to unload Carlos Zambrano...

Jim Hendry just found a way to unload Carlos Zambrano...

Hendry could have unloaded Zambrano to the Mets last month for Ollie Perz and Castillo ... bad contracts for bad contract. He refused because he didn't want Castillo's $6.5 mill for next year

Thereby proving as bad as he is, he's not even the dumbest GM in his own league.

Hisanori Takahashi pitches 1-2-3 9th to save 3-1 win over Astros.
Who needs f'ing K-Rod.

 

[D-3 Fan]

The lights and glamour of playing in New York City has claimed another good player. K-Rod, the grass is not always greener in Flushing Meadows.

What do the lights and glamour of NYC have to do with K-Rod being a piece of **** who beats up family members?

Because we all know New York is a city prone to violence and it makes even nice guys like K-Rod become violent.

 

[spnited]

Mets put K-Rod on disqualified list.. indefinitely. He will not be paid until he pitches again and next year's money is no longer guaranteed.

 

[D-3 Fan]

Apparently, spnited got the sarcasm post, BYH, because you sure as hell didn't get it since you were going ape**** over "what does that have to do" bit.

He chose to go to NYC for the paycheck and the media. What the dumbass didn't expect is to get have the NYC media on his ass every time he takes the mound, and outside of the family room in Citi Field.

If he was in Anaheim, what are the odds that clocking his GF's old man was going to be headline news in La-La Land?

Not much.

That's why I said The lights and glamour of playing in New York City has claimed another good player. K-Rod, the grass is not always greener in Flushing Meadows.

Next time, I'll hold your hand BYH and walk you through every word and sentence anyone types, so that you can understand what's sarcastic and what's not.

The Mets would be fine with keeping K-Rod if he made a million dollars instead of 12 millions of them or whatever it is.
