Sean Rodriguez beat up a Gatorade cooler on Wednesday night, but it’s all good now because he said he’s sorry

Wednesday night was just a bad time overall for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as they fell to the Chicago Cubs on the one-game National League Wild Card playoff. The Pirates were sent packing before the real playoffs could even get going and emotions were running pretty high in this one throughout.

Of course, it was pretty easy to see the emotions on the field. We remember the brawl that took place between both teams, which you all know by now led to Sean Rodriguez taking his anger out on a poor Gatorade cooler.

Remember this?

Yeah, from everything that we saw on Wednesday night, this is probably the one thing that people will remember. Sean Rodriguez doing his best Rocky impression on a Gatorade cooler was just as much hilarious as it was concerning.

However, thanks to Rodriguez himself, we now have an update on this situation. Everything is all well and good.

How do we know this? Well, Rodriguez has let everyone know that he told the cooler he’s really sorry and all is forgiven now.


Well, glad that got all settled.

Seriously, though, you do have to admire Rodriguez’s humor in all of this.
