NOTES: Burnett is scheduled to pitch five innings, followed by Geremi Gonzalez, Casey Janssen and Brian Tallet out of the bullpen. … Tomo Ohka is slated to start against the Yankees on Monday, while John Thomson will pitch in a Minor League game. … Brandon League may throw in a Minor League game on Toronto’s off-day on Tuesday. … Here is the police report from Gustavo Chacin’s arrest.
What on earth was Chacin doing out at that time of the morning anyway? Doesn’t he want a job? I hope JP stands him up on the carpet and reads him the riot act. Our pitching is thin enough without guys showing up wasted.
It’s really not uncommon for ballplayers to be up that late. He probably wasn’t due to pitch for a while, is young and rich. This isn’t uncommon at all.
Actually I think I heard he pitched that afternoon.
