Fausto Carmona Arrested in Dominican Republic for Using False Identity
Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona has been arrested in the Dominican Republic and charged with using a false identity. He was apparently detained while leaving the American consulate after renewing his visa. According to Dionisio Soldevila, Carmona’s real name is Roberto Hernandez and he is actually 31 years old, not 28.
Not quite as juicy as Olden Polynice’s burning desire to impersonate a police officer — twice, allegedly — but strange nonetheless.
In possibly bigger news, the Indians signed Fred Lewis today. A stirring afternoon for the Tribe to say the least.

Ironically, the former White Sox reliever Roberto Hernandez’s real name is Adrian Beltre.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:16 PM
so was he arrested by the D.R. police? it seems like you would have to fuck up pretty bad to be arrested by the D.R. police for fake ID.

Thank you for saving us from the Slate thread that is the one before this, Hernia.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Yeah, I echo SC’s sentiments. Fausto is good every other year and was supposed to be good this year.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:20 PM
All these years, all that travel back and forth, and the authorities are just now discovering it? Is that normal? If so, wow.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:21 PM
Why couldn’t he have picked a normal name? You know, like Ubaldo or something.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:24 PM
Can they void the contract? I would be down if that means the Tribe could then go sign Roy Oswalt for 7-9 million for one year.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:25 PM
If I pitched last year like he did, then I’d want to change my name too.

If you go for Oswalt, I’d try for as close to $7 million as possible. The guy is constantly pulling a rib cage or groin muscle, which lowers his fastball to around 90 or 91 and means he can’t get any movement on his pitches. Then a cortisone shot doesn’t work and he’s off to the DL for at least two weeks.
I love Roy but he’s entered the downslope of his career.

In other baseball news, I actually like one of the Red Sox now. Anyone that enjoyed RBI baseball and Baseball Stars is OK in my book.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:29 PM
I just want to go on record that I have never teabagged a friend/baffoon.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:32 PM
What contract? Roberto Hernandez ain’t got a contract for shit with Cleveland.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:33 PM
I wonder if he sucks when he plays video games on Sunday nights, too.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:36 PM
I still have no forgiven Fausto, I mean Roberto for 2007.

if he’s arrested for false identity, HOW DO WE KNOW THAT’S HIM!?!?!?!

January 19th, 2012 at 4:54 PM
Seriously, I missed this. Did JMac admit to dipping his balls in a guy’s mouth at some point in his life? Or did his Twitter get hacked? Or….what is going on here?
January 19th, 2012 at 4:54 PM

TBL is mad that the Bama dude that teabagged the passed out LSU dude might be charged for sexual assault.

Ha.
Did JMac admit to dipping his balls in a guy’s mouth at some point in his life?
He claims everybody has dipped their balls in a friends/baffoons mouth at some time or another.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:56 PM
That’s messed up.

He had to have been kidding, right?

/right?
I don’t think so. He even used all caps at the end.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:59 PM
I got to say, if some fuck dropped his balls in my mouth, I would want the book thrown at him too. Fuck that noise.
January 19th, 2012 at 4:59 PM
Oh JMac.
I bet he’s going to regret saying that in the same way that he ‘took back’ his statement that he’d happily murder members of the KKK who are peacefully protesting in public at Ole Miss.
January 19th, 2012 at 5:00 PM
I would also be pissed at my friends for not kicking the shit out of the guy before he tried it.
January 19th, 2012 at 5:01 PM
I’m just amazed that TBL is waging a war on this.
As Jersey would say…/smh

Is this because there is a cover jinx for MLB The Show?
