Francisco Rodriguez's assault saga was the biggest story surrounding the again disappointing and dysfunctional Mets, and the story is continuing into the offseason. Rodriguez is being sued by Carlos Pena, the father of his girlfriend and subject of his August assault.

According to Pena's lawyer, the attack -- which took place after a Mets loss at Citi Field -- has forced Pena to make numerous visits for treatment on injuries to his "head, brain, face, neck and back."

"K-Rod should own up to his responsibility to his children's grandfather, whose life since his August beating at Citi Field has been a succession of doctor's appointments and medical tests," Jeff Korek said.

The lawsuit alleges that Rodriguez assaulted Pena, 53, with an "extreme and outrageous" attack.
