Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez expressed remorse Wednesday for striking his girlfriend's father at Citi Field last August and indicated he plans to apologize to teammates during spring training. Rodriguez said court-mandated anger-management sessions he began over the winter as a result of his plea bargain with prosecutors will continue in Florida during spring training and then during the regular season in New York. "I'm going to have to be realistic. It's a very unfortunate situation I put myself in," said Rodriguez, who had not been in Mets apparel since appearing in an Aug. 14 game, then undergoing surgery to repair a torn right thumb ligament suffered in the incident. "Obviously I regret [it] a thousand percent. But I've got to move on. I've got to learn from those mistakes. It made me grow up more as a human being. I'm truly sorry for the way I put my teammates, the Mets organization, the fans, in that spot."
