Baseball: Urbina arrested for attempted murder

Ugueth Urbina was arrested and held pending formal charges of attempted murder at his ranch near Caracas

Last month, Urbina and a group of men allegedly attacked five workers with machetes and poured gasoline on them in an attempt to set them on fire. All five were injured, some of them with cuts and one with burns on the back and right arm, police said.

it's a tough week to be an athelete in Philly, i don't think this will help his value on the free agent market

probably safe to say that Urbina won't be playing for a while, why would someone want to sign someone like that, good thing he's a free agent and not a phillie

worst thing to happen in MLB since Bonds scandal

A baseball star, the money he earns and he goes and does something like that?

Machete's! All his money and he's fighting people with machete's. I don't like to label people but that's nuts.

What an unbeleivable story. Is there any reasoning for this type of behaviour at all???

the worse thing is that they then poured gas on the people and tried to light them on fire

Is there anymore on it yet? It will be interesting to see why and what really happened...

he has been officially charged with attempted murder and will remain in prison untill his trial

Keep Urbina's crazy ass in there but there could be a possible OJ situation again

At least it didn't happen in the US. We've got enough bad press.
