Hours after the fireballing Met hurler's possessions were removed from the Long Island house he shared with girlfriend Daian Peña, K-Rod issued a groveling apology to Met management yesterday afternoon.
But the combustible closer pointedly avoided mentioning Peña or her dad -- the man he allegedly pummeled Wednesday night at Citi Field.
"First of all, I'm extremely sorry. I want to apologize to [team owners] Fred Wilpon, Jeff Wilpon and [team president] Mr. [Saul] Katz for the incident . . . I want to apologize also to Mets fans, to my teammates," a blank-faced Rodriguez said before last night's home game.

"I want to apologize, of course, to the front office for the embarrassment that I caused. And I'm looking forward to being a better person.
