Brutal story involving Mets reliever Francisco Rodriguez who was charged with 3rd degree assault after scuffling with his father-in-law at Citi Field. He was arrested and held at the ballpark while his father-in-law was hospitalized with a scrape on his face and a bump on his head. I’m sure most of you have had a run in or two with the father-in-law. And can throw a story or two about what’s it like to deal with the wife’s old man. But I don’t think very many of you have any stories about actually throwing with the old man, at work.

That’s going to make for a pretty interesting Thanksgiving meal; K-Rod sitting across from the guy he knocked out. And next to his wife, who happens to be the daughter of the guy he hospitalized. I’m no mental health expert; I just play one here on the radio; but considering Rodriguez has now had confrontations with a team official, a coach, an opponent and his own father-in-law, I’m going to put myself out there and say, this Cat has some anger issues. Likes to fight closer. Stop bringing your family problems to work, stop fighting your father-in-law, take the ball and do your job. The Mets have enough to worry about as it is.
