Putting the Urban in Urbina.

I never thought I'd see the day where Venezuela's justice system is better than the United States. ESPN writes:
Former Major League Baseball pitcher Ugueth Urbina was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the attempted murder of five workers on his family's ranch.

The 33-year-old free agent was accused of joining a group of men in attacking and injuring workers with machetes and pouring gasoline on them.
Free agent? I think not. Urbina is going to be the best pitcher in the Caracas Prison League. I can see it now. The Warden makes a trip out to the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning. "Throw the gas. Not gasoline. Well, you know what I mean," he'll say. Except it'll be in Spanish, and I can't speak it since I failed in high school.

And in other news, OJ Simpson's golf swing is as good as ever.
