K-Rod - Bruney escalate...
TEAMS: New York Yankees,  New York Mets
PLAYERS: Brian Bruney,  Francisco Rodriguez,  Mariano Rivera
On Saturday, Brian Bruney called-out Francisco Rodriguez for his histrionics when he successfully saves a game. Rodriguez is arguably one of the best closers in the league, while Bruney is a journeyman, hopeful set-up man. Whether he has a problem with K-Rod's antics or not, at this point in his career it's really not his place to say something. K-Rod responded by saying as much, basically after asking who Bruney was, K-Rod said he would listen to such criticism from Mariano Rivera, n...

      Johnson7225 is just making noise now. KRod's post-season record is actually quite good. It's a hell of a lot better than Bruney's. The point being, just who *is* Bruney to open his yap?

    k rod is a punk and Bruney finally said what many wanted to. And did you notice how tough k rod got when his team mates pulled him away. He is a p*ssy besides.

    K rod is garbage. nothing but an average closer. and his celebrations need to be toned down. the best players are the most humble.

    brian bruney is a very important part of the yankee bullpen. they need a bridge to mariano and he is the set up man on the yankees when healthy. this article was obviously written by a biased mets fan.

    K Rod is a P-U-N-K !!!! It's about time somebody spoke up about that A-HOLE with his showing up the opposition. He might feel as if that pumps up himself and the team, but it is a PUNKASS move!! K-PUNK blew a gasket right away and wanted to kill Bruney because he knows it's a PUNKASS move!! I would've loved to see what would happen if his teammates didn't hold him back. He would've backed off like a little girl that he is!! He's a no class P-U-N-K puke!!!!

    I don't see anyting wrong with him celebrating at the end of the game. It's not like he's over doing in or 'in your face' about it.

      I do, he should act like a professional and not a snot nosed obnoxious jerk.

    moneyhoney I dont think youre watching the right pitcher. Krod is way to over the top. if you only saw his celebration you would think they jus won the world series.
