Beimel attended St. Marys Area High School and was a letterman in football, wrestling, basketball, and baseball. had told him nothing different from the original story of how he injured the little finger on his pitching hand. But when asked if he believed Beimel's story, Colletti paused for a long moment before finally answering, ``That's what he says.'' Beimel told club officials and the media that he was drinking from a glass in his Manhattan hotel room when the glass slipped out of his hand. Beimel said he tried to catch the glass before it hit something and shattered, but was unable to do so, and his hand was so close to the point of impact that his finger was cut. But there were reports that while the basic explanation was true, it might have happened not in a hotel room, but in a bar. And while there is no rule against players patronizing bars two nights before a playoff opener, there is a general rule against lying to your bosses, something Beimel obviously did if his original story isn't true. ``He knows where to reach me if he has a different story to tell,'' Colletti said. ``Until then, I don't want it to be a distraction to this club.'' Even if it doesn't become a distraction, it already has caused a disruption.
