NEW YORK – Hisanori Takahashi was riding high when he left the field with 10 strikeouts on Saturday night.  After an overly bromantic man-hug from Jerry, Takahashi settled into his usual spot on the bench.  Despite the fact that in less time then it takes to warm your Saki, the Mets bullpen had blown the lead, Takahasi was still in good spirits.  That is, until he got the parking lot.

The problems started when he got to his Honda Odyssey minivan and opened the door with the gusto of 1,000 Samurai Warriors.  Only problem is he flung that door squarely into the passenger side mirror of Angel Pagans brand new Dodge Challenger knocking it off.  Unsure of what to do next, Takahashi tried to kick the mirror away, I say tried because he accidently kicked the mirror right in the direction of Jeff Wilpon’s Rolls Royce Phantom, breaking his taillight.

Now Wilpon’s not the type of guy to drive his own Rolls, so his driver got out to see what all the commotion was about.  Takahashi has had his issues in the parking lot before, in the same way that a quarterback buys his offensive line Rolexes after a good season, Takahashi has been known to give his fellow players a can of touch up paint when they come up clutch for him when he’s on the bump.  There was no way Takahashi was sticking around to exchange insurance information with Wilpon’s driver.

Jumping into the minivan he backed up in a manner he is quite accustomed to, very quickly without using his rearview mirror.  When all was said and done, it was not Pagan or Wilpon who caught the brunt of the strikeout throwing vehicular hell raiser, it was poor David Wright.  While backing up, Takahashi smashed into Wrights new Silver Lincoln MKS taking off the bumper.

Looks like Davids going to need a new Lincoln
