We can't afford to miss out on Tejada's next hits now that the pennant race is heating up. Not a whole lot of wisdom there. No wisdom at all but it's brilliant from Jeff , quote of the season maybe.

Try telling R.A. Dickey that they have given up on the season, I got chills listening to him address the stadium last night when Burkhardt had him on the post-game.

Brilliant I knew the movie was trouble when I read about the return to form for Ferrell.

That's Rodriguez on the left Moving Van Wife K-Rod moves out, will seek anger management Brawling baseballer Francisco Rodriguez is out at home � and off to anger management. A stone-faced K-Rod showed up at Citi Field this afternoon to make his first public statement since allegedly assaulting the grandfather of his children and verbally lashing out at his girlfriend last week in a shocking dust up inside the clubhouse. The Venezuelan born relief pitcher stared straight ahead into a room packed with reporters as he apologized to Mets� management � but not to his girlfriend Daian Pe�a or her 53-year-old father, Carlos. �First of all, I�m extremely sorry. I want to apologize to Fred Wilpon, Jeff Wilpon and Mr. Katz for the incident that happened Wednesday night. I want to apologize also to Mets fans, to my teammates,� said Rodriguez. �I want to apologize, of course to the front office for the embarrassment that I caused. And I�m looking forward to being a better person. Right now, the plan is I�m going to anger management program, and I can�t speak no further about the legal stuff that I�m going through right now. But I apologize.� Earlier today K-Rod moved out of the Long Island house that he shared with Pe�a, their one-year-old twins, and Carlos Pe�a. �His things are gone,� sobbed his teary-eyed girlfriend, after a moving van pulled up in front of the couple�s Long Island house and was loaded up with several large suitcases and bags. The van departed not long after � followed by two women in a taxi. �I can�t tell you if I�ve talked to him,� an emotional Pe�a told The Post, as she struggled to contain her emotion. The troubled couple�s relationship imploded after her father tried to intervene in a vicious fight between his daughter and Rodriguez at Citifield Wednesday night following a dismal loss by the Mets to Colorado. �You can�t talk to my daughter that way!� said Pe�a, as the combustible closer launched into a foulmouthed tirade against the mother of his children outside a room filled with players� families. The hot-headed hurler allegedly attacked Pe�a, pummeling him with his fists and then banging the elder man�s head against a wall. Carlos Pe�a, who took out a restraining order against Rodriguez along with his daughter, said he was in a lot of pain. �I�m going to the hospital tomorrow,� he said from their Long Island house. The elder man said K-Rod had asked for his possessions. �He wanted his things, so we sent them to him.� At his arraignment in Queens court, Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. He was released on $5,000 bail. The judge said the pitcher�s family was not safe at home, and issued the restraining orders. The ruling prevents him from entering the home or visiting their children without permission from Family Court. K-Rod was suspended for two games, but suiting up for the Mets today against Philadelphia.

A return to form I'm reading for Will Ferrell , his best since Ricky Bobby said another. Yes or no.....I remember you liking Ricky Booby.

I'm not understanding the benching at all. This team still thinks itself as in contention right?

Thanks to the Lord for R.A. Dickey

Bucket has disappeared? Terrible call, K-Rod should beat the crap outta those old guys

@lenno212: RT @therealarieber: Will K-Rod apologize to teammates tomorrow? "I don�t expect anything special,� Carlos Beltran says. #Mets

I really hate that this punk is representing the team I love, his performence on the mound I can excuse but this?, bollox.

Yeah , as far as Burkhardt knows and he has not been told differently Rodriguez in still in the holding cell.

Ron wanted nothing to do with the K-Rod business , Gary gave him ample time to jump in but nothing. Burkhardt in talking about it said this....in the fmaily lounge K-Rod had an argument with this WIFE and that's when pops got involved and the fight occured. K-rod in a holding cell at Citi Field.

LOL

Was that fat Francesa peeking out from under the umbrella at the Mets game?

metsguyinmichigan wrote: I don't know guys. Santana gets accused of sexual assault, and we're like "That kind of sucks." And KRod throws a punch to a guy, and some of you want them to get rid of him? I think the sexual assault is worse. Now I know there is all kinds of strangeness around that particular incident with Santana that makes things questionable. But no one called for him to be cut, or the manager fired because of it. Seems like a lot of frustration boiling over. He's now being sued for that....good point btw....

Bucket, when you say this clowns gotta go are you talking about Manuel or Rodriguez?, or perhaps both?

T'was the father-in-law... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2010/08/12/2010-08-12_francisco_rodriguezs_alleged_attack_on_fatherinlaw_creates_problems_for_mets_on_.html

D'oh

Does Jeff's Molly play the tall Russian blonde? Pete Flynn can play the old spit bucket man.

He went to Oakland for $10 million right?, I don't recall anyone crying about that.

Well if Molly wants to stay then , maybe she swings a better bat than Jeff.

I thought Ron last night in talking about Phillips perhaps shed some light on him , saying that basically Phillips is a great talent with a very big mouth. I'm guessing that must be the take on him around the game. And yeah the melee was a classic handbags case, lots of arms stretched head back type of "hitting" going on.

And complicating things even further is that he looks rubbish out there in center , not the elite player he once was. I'm having a closed door meeting with Jerry today.

A highly enjoyable game, well done Mike.
