Don’t Throw That Water Bottle Just Yet

Did you ever get the urge to throw your water bottle at someone, like we did when we saw that chick at the gym reading a book while doing leg presses?

Well, if the case of 23-year-old Roland Flores is any indication, we urge you to suppress the urge. (That’s not a typo; that was us engaging in wordplay for our own amusement).

Flores chucked a water bottle at Mike Piazza of the Oakland A’s last year during a game against the Anaheim Angels. Piazza was wearing a helmet and was not injured, but that didn’t stop a judge from throwing the book at Flores for throwing a water bottle. (Are you detecting a theme here with the wordplay? Yeah, your’re right. It’s getting old. We won’t do it again).

Anyway, Flores will spend 30 days in the pokey for using “force and violence to assault” Piazza and for “intentionally throwing a substance” while at Angel Stadium.

And that isn’t all:  The bottle-tosser was placed on probation for three years and is barred from owning or possessing a firearm for 10 years (yes, 10 years). He also can’t set foot in Angel Stadium for three years.

The good news his, Flores can now trade war stories with erstwhile jailbird Paris Hilton.

The bad news is, Flores is spending more time in jail for tossing a 16 oz. container of H20 than OJ Simpson did for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. . . Oh that’s right! Simpson was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.

*rolls eyes* Silly us!
