"Francisco Rodriguez wasn't about to take solace out of Justin Turner being clipped by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 13th inning for the Mets' first walkoff win of the season Wednesday night against the A's.

The fiery closer knows as well as anyone that the Mets' eventual 3-2 victory should have ended with him pointing skyward four frames earlier.

K-Rod suffered consecutive blown saves for the first time since August 2009, following up last Thursday's meltdown - a 9-8 lossin Atlanta - by allowing the tying run to score in the ninth to flush away R.A. Dickey's eight innings of one-run ball.

"You know what, I'm going to speak as a fan, not as a player. I definitely have to get my head out of my butt, pretty much. Simple as that," said Rodriguez, who had converted 19 straight saves before blowing his last two chances. "I have to stop these pathetic outings; they're really pathetic."
