No, Francisco Rodriguez did not reveal his identity as Superman, but he did do something extremely dumb. The Mets' struggling closer was in an altercation with his girlfriend's father over the weekend and threw a strike that actually hit the zone. Apparently, no one has been working with him on his punch mechanics and he ended up tearing a ligament in his right thumb.
Now I can forgive the fact that K-Rod resorted to pugilism to settle a dispute. There is really no other way a man can defend his honor against the grandfather of his children other than to lead him roughly by the collar away from the family room at Citi Field and pop a few shiners into his skull. What I can't possibly believe is why he threw the punch with his freaking pitching hand. Come on, Franny (new nickname), how dumb can you be?
