I thought he was getting help with that after his wife beat his behind last year.

MallCopKJ · Feb 17, 2011

Damn, I thought he had moved past that type of behavior. Thats dissapointing.

Maybe we should have helped him instead of suspending. All the signs that he had a problem were there...

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been arrested on drunken driving charges in Florida.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office says the 27-year-old's car engine was smoking alongside a road late Wednesday when a deputy spotted the vehicle.

According to the arrest report, Cabrera smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy.

Police say Cabrera repeatedly refused to cooperate, saying, "Do you know who I am, you don't know anything about my problems."

In 2009, the All-Star first baseman got into a fight with his wife after a night of drinking, right before his team surrendered the American League Central Division title to the Twins.

Cabrera posted $1,350 bond and was released today.

Good to see he's in midseason form already.

"Took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy". Probably not the smartest thing to do.

Man, he took a swig in front of the deputy? That's hardcore.

If I was in the Detroit front office, I wouldn't let my 20 million per year investment go anywhere without someone keeping an eye on him.

Ignoring the alcoholism aspect of things, I don't understand why rich athletes and celebrities ever drive anywhere they're even going to have one drink. You've got the money... get a cab. Hell, hire a driver.

Reportedly he did that while blasting "Killing in the name" by Rage against the machine.

Leagues should treat DUIs with as much, if not more severity than PED usage.

True, but do they effect the game? Since that is all the rules of the game mandate over.

I am not saying that DUI isn't bad, but there are already penalties for them called laws, it's not the role of sports to work over that.

that just goes to show what type of I.Q. these MORONS have!
New limo $200,000 , 4 full time Chauffeurs $200,000 a year, Moron that makes 20MIL a year and getting a DUI and lucky they did not kill someone. PRICELESS!
