Drunken Indian

Bad news out of Cleveland, perhaps the only bad news so far this year for the surprising Tribe.
Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was arrested on DUI charges after he blew .201 on the breathalyzer. Ohio's limit is .08.
Choo becomes the 6th Major League player arrested for drunk driving this year, joining Austin Kearns, Adam Kennedy, Coco Crisp, Miguel Cabrera and Derek Lowe.
These guys make millions and they can't afford a driver or a cab? Horrible and ignorant judgement for sure. Don't these idiots remember Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock who killed himself in a drunk driving accident? What about Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhard who was killed by a drunk driver two years ago? Don't these guys think? Even a little bit?
So while baseball suspends White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen two games for tweeting, nothing seems to happen to these drunks who put other people's lives in danger. The fact that Miguel Cabrera misses zero games for drunk driving and belligerent and embarrassing behavior this spring tells me baseball doesn't truly care. But oh boy, criticize an ump or tweet something and you'll be sitting out some games Mister.
