CSI: DR :: Uribe still not in the clear?

Almost a month ago, we got word that Juan Uribe would be cleared in the Dominican Farmer, Italian Naval Officer, Yipeta shooting incident if no new evidence was presented within 10 days. Those 10 days came and went, and we heard nothing. Now, something called the Listin Diario claims that Uribe once again be in some serious hot water. (English Translation) Who are we to question the validity of the Listin Diario?

If I read that translation correctly -- no small feat thanks to the vagaries of online translations (Any help from spanish speakers would be appreciated.) -- Uribe could be facing 2 charges of attempted murder. I'll wait for an English language report before I fly off the handle in worry, but it's my solemn duty as fearless leader of South Side Sox to report things like this, unreliable as they may be.

Maybe Uribe should have just paid off the damn farmer. As I recall the reported extortion demand was a paltry sum by US/Movie standards.

I had my Mexican friend read it...
and this is what he said:

"just says the investigation is not over and the judge ordered for more investigation to be done"

"says uribe isn't out of the woods"

"says that cruz and faxas have some proof that leads to uribe but doesn't say what"

he also said...
"i'm guessing uribe is going to serve some time"

However, I'm pretty sure that was just his editorial comment because he's a bitter Cubs fan who likes to give me shit about the Sox every chance he gets.

Yea
I speak a little Spanish but read it better: he was in the clear but some new evidence has "arisen" that might change things.

The rest of the article just says he's being charged with attempted murder and a bunch of junk about what happened and that he's a famous baseball player for the White Sox.

is it a bad sign that the google
translator for that article calls the Sox the

"Average White of Chicago"?

How does it know that we haven't replaced Pods yet?

Riske a Royal for a year
Can't this guy get a gig outside our division lately?  Injuns/Sox/Royals.  Saves on moving expenses, I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
but didn't we get him from the Red Sox?

David Riske...
David Riske (Transactions):
January 27, 2006: Traded by the Cleveland Indians with Josh Bard and Coco Crisp to the Boston Red Sox for Guillermo Mota, Andy Marte, Kelly Shoppach, and cash.

June 15, 2006: Traded by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox for Javier Lopez.

re-frame it
just think of ST06 -> 6/06 as a "working vacation". a brief respite from the vagaries of working on the midwest coast.

funny (at least to me) part is, they just finished playing a series against the twinks right before trading him back into the central.
