Ugueth Urbina Moves From ‘Pen To Pen
Former Phillies reliever Ugueth Urbina — who the Phils got for 2006 ALCS MVP Placido Polanco two years ago — has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for his part in a machete attack two years ago. And by “for his part”, I mean he was found guilty of five attempted murders, illegal deprivation of liberty and violating a prohibition for taking justice into one’s own hands. As you may remember, Urbina, 31, was accused of attacking five men with a machete after throwing gas on them back in November 2005. Urbina simply said he saw them using his pool without permission, then went to sleep. Despite all this, well, I’m a little worried about the bullpen this year, and I think the Phillies could really use a guy like Urbina. Does anyone know if the Phils can spring him from Venezuelan jail? Report: Urbina sentenced to prison in Venezuela [ESPN.com] |

Well, we don’t know how Pulp Fiction ended, but now we know how Venezuelan Pulp Fiction ended.
