- He’s lucky he didn’t end up in a Henry Ruggs situation. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 13:16 7
  - The worst part is that MLB doesn't have rules against drunk driving. He's at the stadium right now while Atlanta decides what to do with him. -- (link) - David Aug 19, 13:19 6
    - Not sure playing him sends the right message. -- nm - budice Aug 19, 13:21 4
      - He'd already been replaced anyway. He's drinking excessively because he's not playing. - David Aug 19, 13:31
      - There's no way they play him at home tonight. Might be able to get away with it if it were a road game and they were desperate. -- nm* - Strongbad Aug 19, 13:26 2
