October 15, 200619 yr Author Juan and his brother shot a navy officer while he was eating some chicken. I remember Juan on the big screen saying his favorite food was "Pollo con arroz."
October 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) What is a "yipeta"? Someone got too close to his yipeta (four-wheel drive vehicle, from the word ‘jeep’), and got shot in the stomach and hands with some type of pellets. Yipeta is slang for SUV.

October 15, 200619 yr Looks like we're never going to hear someone say he has a gun defensively anymore.

October 15, 200619 yr Do we have any Spanish speakers here? Could we get a translation? I love how they call the Sox average....
October 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) I love how they call the Sox average.... We are average. The average division has 5 teams, so an average team would finish right in the middle of that division, or in 3rd, which we did.
October 16, 200619 yr Yes!!! Hopefully it wasn't self-defense, and he gets hauled away. Why do I feel like I am going to get banned for saying that? Oh well.

October 16, 200619 yr Well if Juan had just shot like he threw last year, he probably would have casually shot at the guy after waiting 2 seconds too long, and the shots then would have went 10 feet over his head.

October 16, 200619 yr why is this spanish website the only place to run this story, if it were true wouldnt it pick up more press?
October 16, 200619 yr QUOTE(rventura23 @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) why is this spanish website the only place to run this story, if it were true wouldnt it pick up more press? here you go, from the Trib: link White Sox shortstop Juan Uribe and his brother are being investigated in the Dominican Republic for their alleged involvement in the shooting of two men, according to El Nacional newspaper. No one was killed in the incident, which took place Friday night in San Cristobal, about 15 miles from Uribe's hometown of Bani. According to the newspaper, the two victims suffered wounds but were released from a hospital. According to a police report, Uribe and his brother, Elpidio, thought the victims had walked too close to their Jeep. Dondolin Alessandro, 41, a captain in the Italian Navy, suffered wounds to his stomach and hands. Antonio Gonzalez Perez, a farmer who tried to intervene, suffered a left-elbow injury, according to the paper. Alessandro was in the Dominican on a humanitarian mission, the newspaper reported. A White Sox spokesman said Sunday night that the team had been in contact with Uribe's agent and would not comment until more information had been collected. Telephone messages were left for Martin Arbrurua, who represents Uribe. Col. Gabriel Santos Melo and Mayor De La Cruz Blanquin are in charge of the investigation, the newspaper said. The incident occurred two weeks after general manager Ken Williams endorsed Uribe as his shortstop for next season. Uribe, 27, is coming off a disappointing 2006 in which he committed more errors (14) than he drew walks (13). Uribe hit .235 with 21 homers but had only a .257 on-base percentage. He is scheduled to earn $4.15 million next season, with the Sox holding a $5 million option or $300,000 buyout for 2008.
October 16, 200619 yr Author Holy s***. I didn't even realize the error to BB ratio. I gotta do some research and see how many other gys have accomplished that The first guy to come to my mind was Shawn Dunston. 1986: 32/21 1987: 14/10 1988: 20/16 1990: 20/15 1995: 17/10 1996: 15/13 1997: 15/8 (!!!!!!!!!!!)

October 16, 200619 yr Seriously, I am very happy. Not only is he trash on the field, now hes trash OFF the field.
October 16, 200619 yr the early reports on this story make absolutely no sense. should be interesting to hear some of the facts. I'm just hoping we aren't treated to shots of Juan in a festering jail cell (think Urbina).
