May 17, 200619 yr Our pen got me thinking about guys tonight... and while I know Urbina isn't an option, I was just wondering if anyone has heard any news on his case.
May 17, 200619 yr He'll probably be in a different Pen for awhile. ROFL. And if he was available, I think we would have already signed him with the way our bullpen looks.
May 17, 200619 yr I remember reading a story about Urbina and Ozzie. It was about Ozzie's best friend who was murdered, and Ozzie went to the prison to speak with the man who killed his best friend. I don't remember the details, and if someone has the url, please post it. However, I do remember a moment when Oz and Urbina spoke, but I dont remember if it was good.

I don't remember the details, and if someone has the url, please post it. However, I do remember a moment when Oz and Urbina spoke, but I dont remember if it was good. Oz was visiting Uggie and saw the man who killed his childhood friend. Uggie offered to have him taken care of and Oz declined - siting karma, iirc. Pretty sure it was in the Playboy article as well as on the HBO special. They have been friends for a long time so I would guess their visits are good.

The group wielded machetes and poured gasoline on the employees in an attempt to set them on fire. Five workers were injured, and one of them suffered burns on the back and right arm, police said.
