Frank Francisco of the Texas Rangers was sentenced for throwing a chair at mamma-taunting A's fan Craig Bueno, and hitting Bueno's wife Jennifer in the face. Francisco pled no contest to the charges of misdemeanor assault, and got three years on probation, 20 days in a sheriff's work program, 500 hours of community service and six months of anger management classes. Francisco can take those classes with fellow Ranger Kenny Rogers. Dude, someone found a foot in an Oakland park on Wednesday. Good thing Anna Ayala's still locked up or the foot would probably have turned up in a bowl of chili. And SF District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi took a break from coordinating his wardrobe with Matt Gonzalez's to stop some crime! P.J. Corkery and J.K. Dineen from the Ex report that Mirkarimi was walking on Webster Street and saw a "suspicious" guy pulling a knapsack out of the broken window of a parked car. Ross said, "Hey, that's not yours, put it down!" and the guy dropped the bag and fled. Turns out the car was owned by a tourist from Texas, who said, "I know nothing of Mr. Ross and his political ambitions, but he was honorable enough to get my belongings back and for that I am grateful." Ross, ever modest, told the Ex, "Please don't make me out to be the caped crusader, because I'm not. Anyone would do such a thing." Ross, you're our hero! more ›
