Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Burgos being sought in deaths of 2 women

Burgos sought in fatal car accident

Star-divide

New York Mets pitcher Ambiorix Burgos was driving an SUV when it slammed into two women who later died of their injuries, police said. 

Police Col. Eulogio Taveras said Josefina Minaya Martinez, 38, and Angely Fana, 29, were struck Tuesday evening by a new Hummer registered to the 24-year-old reliever in his Caribbean homeland. The women died at a hospital in Nagua, a town 112 miles north of the capital, Santo Domingo.

 

Seems like a safe bet we've seen the last of him, regardless of the outcome of the investigation.  Between his shoulder surgery and the domestic violence charge from his girlfriend, his future with the Mets looked tenuous at best.

I guess double vehicular manslaughter is enough to make Brian Bannister’s 5.76 ERA and 1.50 WHIP seem attractive by comparison.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
