Bruney & K-Rod, Six Of One, Half Dozen Of The Other

Brian Bruney and Francisco Rodriguez are not playing nice in the Subway Series sandbox.
They funny thing is, in my opinion, is that they’re both right. K-Rod’s act is tired. And, Bruney is a wannabe, at best. That said, this is a case where two rights make a wrong…since they both should have taken the high road and kept their mouths shut. Then again, for guys like Brian Bruney and Francisco Rodriguez, that seems very hard to do…
So, maybe this is just a matter of two-of-a-kind doing what they do?
I was like “since when do they go to Bruney for a quote?”
All the yanke fans that get on K-rod for his antics are F****** pathetic!! None of them say crap about Joba when he acts like a tool, but pounce on Krod? Fn joke. Go tell Brueny to tell his teamate that his act is tired before he goes out to hunt down Krod…who didnt even know who that wannabe was.
For me my first thought was, “did K-Rod get beat because he stunk or because a “I can’t believe I just saw that” one-in-a-thousand-error happened?” Couldn’t happen to a better guy – yeah, say that when you beat him with an A-Bomb, not an A-Pop.
Bruney can talk once he’s saved 20 games in his career. I mean, that’s the thing – if a Yankee regular had made the comment, fine – you don’t like K-Rod’s act (I sure don’t either) and it feels good to beat him when he thinks he had it in the bag. Absolutely – you’ve battled this guy in the ninth before, he’s done his point-at-the-sky thing a few times, this time it didn’t work out that way.
But Bruney? Brueny can criticize K-Rod when he’s actually accomplished something in his career. Otherwise he looks like an a-hole.
I thought he pointed to the sky, because it was a fly ball. He usually doesn’t go into his act until the out is completed
I thought he kind of did both – first he pointed at the sky as in “its a pop up, there it is, somebody get it” but then he clenched the fists as he brought his hands down because he was sure the game was in the bag.

@ Fonz, I agree about that 125%. BUT at the same time, the Cisco Kid’s antics on the mound are ridiculous. He along with AssholeMouth Papelbon and Joba the Hut celebrate in such a gaudy and ludicrous manner. The hypocrisy in baseball knows no bounds. Bruney AKA Mr DL is not the only one, but all these histrionics are so silly, I simply can’t take it from any team.
