The Yankees Brian Bruney, had some words for Francisco Rodriguez after the Mets loss Friday night.
Bruney spoke of Rodriguez's celebrations after he gets a save, and about blowing his first of the season on Friday night.
"Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that. I have, but in high school," Bruney told reporters in Trenton. "It couldn't happen to a better guy on the mound, either. He's got a tired act."
As anyone who knows K-Rod would expect, he put Bruney right in his place. According to the New York Post, K-Rod had a few words to give back to Bruney.
"I don't even know who that guy is. Somewhere in Double-A? I believe he hasn't even pitched one full season. He's always been on the DL. That's all I know right now. He better keep his mouth shut and do his job and not worry about somebody else."
The issue escalated today before the game, when K-Rod approached Bruney and got in his face. K-Rod did most of the talking before the Yankees Jose Vera broke up the escapade.
Out of everyone on the Mets, K-Rod is the last player you want to mess with. He is a gamer, and plays with a lot of heart and emotion. His celebrations are just his way of showing the emotion he plays with.
Bruney had no business saying anything about K-Rod. I don't even understand why the guy was being interviewed about the situation in the first place. He deserves everything that comes to him from this. Good for K-Rod for confronting him. When Bruney breaks K-Rod's save record then maybe someone will care about his opinion.
I just wonder if Bruney put any thought into opening his mouth before he did. Where did he feel that he had any right to criticize K-Rod? Bruney, who has never even been able to make it through a full season, is trying to critique the singled season record holder for saves? It's pathetic and just gives Bruney a bad name.
Instead of blabbing his mouth, Bruney should work on getting off the disabled list, he has thrown just one inning for the Yankees since April 21st.
The only explanation I can possibly see for Bruney is just that he is jealous. He will more than likely never be even close to the level that K-Rod is at.
He should of just shut up and been happy with the Yanks win they were handed by the Mets on Friday.
