Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Mets reliever Ambiorix Burgos was arrested and charged last night for beating up his girlfriend. From the New York Daily News:The 6'3", 244-pound pitcher was arrested around 11 p.m. Monday after allegedly slamming his girlfriend up against the wall at the Holiday Inn on 114th St. and 37th Ave. He repeatedly punched her on the back, bit her and slapped her, prosecutors said.Burgos hasn't appeared in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery last year but was considered a likely candidate for an eventual call-up this month. After last night's altercation, you have to wonder if the team will even bother.
I'm not naive enough to think that a big league team won't turn a blind eye to domestic violence when they think a player can help their team, but Burgos has turned in mixed results at best during his minor league rehab stints, and with only 1 1/2 games separating them from the Phillies, it's just not worth the media distraction to bring him into the clubhouse.
