Throwing Punches Instead of Pitches
Roman Colon, a Toldeo Mud Hens righty, was indicted by a grand jury for the June 12th assault of teammate Jason Karnuth.
According to Karnuth's wife, who filed the police report, Colon punched the pitcher when he tried to break up an argument between Colon and others in the clubhouse over loud music coming from Roman's iPod.
Note to our male readers: a good way to display a lack of balls is to have your wife file a police report against the dude who punched you in the face.
Especially if it's this guy. According to the indictment, the 31-year-old Colon is charged with one count of felonious assault and could face up to eight years in prison if convicted, which isn't likely.
Karnuth did need to undergo a four-hour procedure to fix his beautiful nose, however. He had three titanium plates inserted into his face along with nine screws and some wire to keep the plates and bone fragments in place.
Colon, who is currently rehabbing from neck surgery, was also suspended by the Detroit Tigers for seven days for his role in the incident.

Karnuth looks like a total turd.
He probably gets punched in the face all the time.

I find it great that at a time when Tigers need bullpen help, their setup man punches their closer. Classy.
(Woo! Toledo!)
