Despite the fact that their former players keep popping up in stories involving performance-enhancing drugs, the New York Mets continue to cling to the myth that they are somehow a family-friendly, wholesome organization that is somehow above the fray.
Enter Ambiorix Burgos. The flamethrowing reliever had a bit of an incident last night in a hotel room near Shea Stadium. From the NY Daily News:
The 6'3", 244-pound pitcher was arrested around 11 p.m. Monday after allegedly slamming his girlfriend up against the wall at the Holiday Inn on 114th St. and 37th Ave. He repeatedly punched her on the back, bit her and slapped her, prosecutors said.
Meanwhile, the Mets won't allow Backman to interview for a minor league managerial or coaching position, ostensibly because he had a DUI arrest in 1999.
