K-Rod taken away in ambulance

Dropping like flies.

Francisco Rodriguez was taken away in an ambulance after the game to have his back checked out, after suffering spasms while running in pregame workouts, according to Adam Rubin.

“I’ve never experienced some pain like the way that I have right now,” K-Rod said. “I’ve been struggling even to walk. Tomorrow is another day. We’ll see how my body responds for tomorrow.

The Mets gave K-Rod muscle relaxers, but he collapsed shortly after trying to leave the clubhouse on his power. Rodriguez started weeping from the pain after being helped into a golf cart, and a stretcher and EMTs were called to the scene.

Color me worried.

Maybe the Mets shouldn’t trade J.J. Putz
