K-Rod forgot Rule no. 1: You never hit a drunk with your pitching hand!

Written by Mike Mariano | 16 August 2010

Crash Davis: Did you hit me with your right hand or did you hit me with your left? Huh? Did you hit me with your right hand or did you hit me with your LEFT? 
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: My left. 
Crash Davis: Good! That's good; when you get in a fight with a drunk you don't hit him with your pitching hand. God, I can't keep giving you these free lessons so quit screwin' around and help me up.

Francisco Rodriguez has got to be kidding me punching people out with his pitching arm.  That's the first rule of baseball bar fights!  Yeah as a Phillies fan I think it's hilarious that he's out for the year, tearing a ligament in his right thumb punching out his father-in-law.  But this might actually be a good thing for the Mets as they can most likely get back all that money they owe him over the next two years.  Shit!  This was supposed to be a glorious day for Phillies fans, not Mets fans.  We'll see how the Mets brass handles this, but it is Omar Minaya we're talking about:  2:1 odds says that K-Rod gets an extension.
