SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic � Baltimore Orioles reliever Alfredo Simon is the main suspect in a fatal shooting New Year's Eve in the Dominican Republic, police said Sunday. The pitcher is suspected of killing 25-year-old Michel Castillo Almonte and wounding his 17-year-old brother during a celebration in the northeast coastal town of Luperon, police said in a statement. No motive was disclosed. Simon is from the Dominican Republic, and police said he fled after the violence. Felipe Alou Jr., a Dominican representative for the Orioles, said he spoke with Simon on Saturday and the player said he was in the area when the violence occurred but insisted he was not involved in the shootings.

Alfredo had to have been sauced.

Alou's report being widely disregarded for having neglected to say "Simon says".

I question if the Almontes are really 25 and 17.

Somehow, you just know Ambiorix Burgos is involved.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you're consistently high and outside.

Simon was just denied bail. He will be sitting in jail all season long.
