Hasn't Binghamton Suffered Enough This Year?

Just months after the terrible shooting rampage there, Binghamton finds itself in the national spotlight again.

You've all seen it by now. According to Y! Sports by way of the Daily News, Mets VP of player development Tony Bernazard pulled an Alphonso and challenged the members of the Double-A Binghamton Mets to a fight. He even ripped his shirt off for effect.

The trigger for his rage? No, not the Hinske trade or the musings of el duque. Reports say underage drinking by some of the team set him off. I couldn't believe it either. Kids 18-21 drinking? In Binghamton?

I'm glad he wasn't my R.A. at good old Oneida Hall...
