"We'll take this very seriously" . . . . "but we'll let him pitch and pay him millions". That'll teach him!!!
Not a Mets fan, but was not this guy like TO in the dugout? A cancer? This is not his first distraction correct?
He will lose two days pay..$125,683..thats like 4 years pay to me unreal.
And they tossed Pete Rose out of baseball.
Why don't they call the National's Pudge Rodriguez P-Rod?
White sox manager ozzie says this is all a misunderstanding. that if an interpreter was provided for the Spanish player k-rod everyone would have known that's how members of ms-13 say hello. heck didn't their manager once want to pull a blade on Reyes because he was acting too ghetto?
"I told you, old man - TWO coats of wax on the Escalade! TWO! DOS!! Pendejo!
I'm a Mets fan, but I can't stand how some of the players are sticking up for him and saying stuff like "He was under a lot of pressure and stress". I mean, it's nice that they're supporting him but COME ON! There's a ton of people across the country and around the world that are stressed out. But they don't go and punch out their spouse or partner's parent. And if they do, you certainly don't really hear about it.
deport the clown. this society has to quit dishing out millions for goofy sports stars and celebritys. K-rod can run around Caracus whipping on folks and let them deal with it. Let's do it - deport 'em.
We make decisions in life. Some of them are known to be poor decisions when we make them. As we get older, alot older than 27, those decisions that are poor made less frequently. People with money are used to sell newspapers and this story is not unique but apply's to many situations but because he has money is the only reason this has happened to him. I'm going to guess he's getting shook down. I have a better than 60% chance of being right. Not much of a life having a target on your back and someone waitting, getting positioned, and ready for that "error", in judgement.
