So now I don't know if I'm a horrible person for this but I feel bad for Frankie Rodriguez. I truly today just look at this lost soul and think what the hell happened? Why K-Rod why? I know what he did to Mr. Pena was wrong. I don't condone domestic violence, I am not a fan of beating up old men but it hurts me to read about Francisco in the papers. Let me explain. Maybe I can make sense of this. Today the "NY POST" and the "Daily News" published a few of the 56 text messages that prosecutors say K-Rod sent to his estranged girlfriend, Daian Pena. Rodriguez was not supposed to have any contact with her. Sending these texts completely violated a court order. So now not only was he in court yesterday on assault charges, but he now also faces additional criminal counts for these texts to Daian.
In fact in court yesterday Judge Robert Raciti was beyond generous. He really was kind to K-Rod. Raciti decided to not go right ahead and jail Frankie for violating his restraining order-y thing. He instead warned him that his next TEXT would land him in jail. But Frankie is in no way off the hook. He will have to deal with the consequences of this violation when he returns to court October 7th.
Here are some of the texts that well have made me feel freaking sympathy for Mr. Goggles. The basic theme in all of them is that
1- He misses his kids
2- He misses Daian and wants her to forgive him
3- He knows he effed up
"I know this message could get me in trouble again, but I already lost you my house and my children."
"I do not want to have problems with your family, all I want...is to recover you and my children and continue forward."
"Lets find a solution to this conflict, baby if you really loved me do not deny me the opportunity to fight for you and my children."
"Daian, I understand that perhaps I made a mistake, the biggest mistake of my life for doing what I did but I love you."
So now I just wonder if I'm the one Metsies fan who feels sorry for a man who maybe doesn't deserve her sympathy?

You know, K-Rod obviously has to live with the repercussions of his actions, but at the same time, it's not ever just a simple situation.
We're dealing with human beings here, and I think it'd behoove everyone to remember that. Let the person who has never made a mistake throw the first stone.
So yeah, he screwed up and he should get the punishment he deserves. But I completely agree with you -- I feel bad for him as well. We don't know all the circumstances leading up to the incident that took place with his father in law, but right now you've got a guy here who is obviously hurting, obviously in a bad place, and about to pay for what he's done. And as a human being, I feel for him too.
