At least somebody isn’t afraid to talk trash about a cross-town rival.
“I can’t wait to face those chickens,” Mets closer Frank Francisco told
The Post when asked about playing the Yankees in this weekend’s Subway
Series at Citi Field. “I want to strike out the side against them. I’ve
done it before.”
Before Francisco could elaborate on his “chickens” comment, after the Mets’
4-3 victory over the Orioles on Wednesday, he buttoned up.
“I think I’ve said too much already,” he said.
There you have it — a blast of bluster from the Mets as they attempt to
regain some of the respect they lost two weeks ago when the Yankees swept
them three games in The Bronx. Francisco didn’t appear in any of those
games, but has a long history facing the Yankees as a member of the Rangers
and Blue Jays.
And, yes, for the record, he has struck out the side against the Yankees. It
came on May 21, 2004 when Francisco, pitching for the Rangers, struck out
Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi — the three batters he faced in
the seventh inning.
在本季第二次的地鐵大戰交手前，梅子的closer Frank Francisco對洋基嗆聲了
表示他等不及要面對這些「Chickens」，然後像以前那樣送他們KKK
紀錄顯示，2004年FF在遊騎兵隊時曾對洋基送出單局3K
那時連續三振掉Jeter、A-Rod、Giambi
FF生涯對上洋基27.1局，送出24K，ERA 3.29
去年他在藍鳥時對上洋基共7局失掉3分，在上一次的地鐵大戰並未出賽
他究竟能否送給洋基KKK呢? 讓我們拭目以待~
