    There is a picture of a man who looks remorseful

    Indians pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez has been suspended five games by MLB for intentionally throwing at Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki.

    Jimenez is scheduled to serve his suspension during the first week of the season unless he appeals the decision.

    Although he maintains that he didn’t hit Tulowitzki on purpose this quote from him surely doesn’t help his case, “He was calling me names,” Jimenez said. “I already said I didn’t want to hit him. I had five walks. It’s not the first time somebody (was) hit.”

    All we can say is that he is lucky that this isn’t the NFL or Roger Goodell might have banned him for the season.

    Does this put more pressure on Brian Wilson?

    In one of the more random baseball stories of the season, Virgin America Airlines unveiled the newest edition of their fleet,  a “bearded” Airbus A320, painted to resemble Brian Wilson’s iconic facial hair.

    In related news, we’re hearing the Wilpons are planning to sell the nose of the Mets team plane to help pay off the Madoff lawsuit.

     

    Schilling Brushes Back Valentine

    News Flash: Curt Schilling has a opinion!

    Former Pitcher Curt Schilling, who is best known for helping the Boston Red Sox break an 86 year “hex”, has decided to kick dirt on the franchise while it’s down.

    He told WEEI radio that Bobby Valentine’s reign is “Going bad quicker than I expected it to,” among other things.

    The issue here is the fact that we don’t know who Schilling’s source is, and therefore can’t gauge how widespread the problems are.

    After last season’s epic collapse, a seemingly entitled, and detached locker room, and a reported rift between GM Ben Cherington and Valentine, these comments seem like piling on. Frankly, some of his former teammates might accuse Schilling of pulling a “bush league play.”
