Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez regrets his confrontation with Yankees reliever Brian Bruney two weeks ago at Yankee Stadium. "I just wanted to find out, honestly, if there was any difficulty or any problem, just come to me, just say it," Rodriguez said. "If you have something to say, just say it." Rodriguez shouted at Bruney during batting practice on June 14 and the two had to be separated a day later. "I shouldn't have done that, because I didn't want to make it bigger and the fans were in there," Rodriguez said of shouting and pointing at Bruney. "But at the same time, I felt a little offended and I just wanted to find out why. That's all. "He got me a little out of line, but nothing more than that." Bruney called Rodriguez's on-mound celebrations "tired."
