Things only got worse after the game was over. Frankie Rodriguez was arrested and charged with 3rd degree assault on who we thought was his father in law. We learned some new facts about the story today. First, it was not his father in-law who he assaulted. It was his girl friends father. The girlfriend is Daian Pena. Technically, she is his common law wife. We also found out that not only did the Pena's father, now being identified as Carlos Pena (not the first baseman on Tampa Bay), go to the hospital with injuries, but also her mother was rushed to the hospital with what they are saying was an anxiety attack. Daian and Carlos have a restraining order against Frankie. He is not even allowed to go back to his own home.
Details are coming out about what exactly happened. The district attorney issued a release detailing the incident. According to the criminal complaint, Daian Pena was in the family lounge at the ballpark around 10:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Rodriguez entered and asked her to come into the hallway. He then asked Daian Pena to have her father come out to the hallway where, Daian Pena saw Rodriguez "pin her father against the wall and punch her father multiple times in the face and head," according to the complaint."The victim suffered bruising, swelling, abrasions and redness to the head and pain to his neck, and substantial pain, annoyance and alarm as a result of the defendant's alleged actions," the complaint says.- ESPN NEW YORK. It is so pathetic that Frankie has to bully around an old man. This guy is such an a-hole.
Additionally, we learned that Frankie was in custody and locked up in a holding cell until 2:00 in the afternoon today. The Mets have suspended him for two days. They should try to do anything they can to get rid of this guy. He is a ticking time bomb that is going to continue to explode. Word is also starting to leak out that there might be a history of violence in the relationship, and restraining orders have been filed in California and Venezuela. It must be a bad situation if Venezuela is dealing out the restraining order. I didn't even know the phrase restraining order existed there. I though domestic violence was like church for them (That was mean).
It really sucks to be a Met fan. Can things get any worse for them? This is starting to look a lot like 1992. (Google 1992 New York Mets to find out more about what I am talking about)
There was some good news for the Mets today. Johan Santana, who is having his own personal issues, threw a 4 hit complete game shut out against the Rockies. Santana looked dominant, striking out 10, and leading the team to a win they desperately needed. Many Met fans and baseball people have questioned whether Santana is still an ace pitcher and he has shut up his critics. He has looked like the old Santana so far in the second half of the season and should have more than the 10 wins that he currently has. The team never scores runs for him, and at worst should have at least 14 or 15 wins. At this point in the season he is one of the few bright spots on this team. It seems like they only win when he pitches and despite his legal problems and pending law suit, continues to try to do everything he can to carry this miserable team.
