Ugi's Mom Rescued

The mother of former Florida Marlins closing pitcher Ugueth Urbina has been rescued by police commandos in Venezuela after being held captive by kidnappers for five months:

"You can't say they treated me either well or poorly. The most hurtful thing was having to bear them saying that my son didn't love me because he didn't pay," Villarreal said.

Ugi's not a closer for nothing.
No mention of her just sitting in the dark and eating wet cigarette butts, but I think she's got the leverage to make Urbina pay for a long time.

I'm glad his mom was rescued safe and sound.
