Via the Greeley Tribune -
Greeley native and former major league pitcher Shawn Chacon is wanted on a warrant for allegedly failing to pay $150,000 in gambling markers, the Las Vegas Sun is reporting today.
Chacon faces a felony charge of writing three bad checks for $50,000 each to Caesars Palace in March, according to the Sun’s report.
The high school baseball standout from Greeley Central High School signed a minor league deal with the Oakland Athletics in June. He formerly pitched for the Colorado Rockies, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates and Houston Astros. He also was voted to the Major League All-Star team in 2003.
Well, I guess not every year can be as magic as 2005…
Hey, at least they mentioned the other teams, right?

My thought exactly.
This is an object lesson in why, no matter how bad your GM torques you off, a man who has a major league pitching arm should never, ever, ever try to choke his GM to death.
Or whatever.
