Tony LaRussa popped for DUI--- and let me tell you---he was popped.

This is how people get killed:

<snip>
Undercover officers first saw La Russa's SUV partially in an intersection around midnight and not moving despite several green lights, police said. Officers knocked on the vehicle's window and LaRussa did not initially respond.

The SUV was in drive and running, with La Russa's foot on the brake, police said. When he eventually woke up, the officers asked him to get out of the SUV.

1. well, let's see what MLB does now

I vote for a two week suspension. drop him for the first two weeks of the regular season, no contact with the team at all. really, at 62, Tony should know better.

2. At 62, Tony should know better

Ironically, I live about a half mile from Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, where the Cardinals train. I drive through that same light every day when I go to work.

3. I'm shocked! He DOES know better.

4. ...La Russa...had a blood alcohol content of 0.093 percent

Jupiter police said in a statement. Florida's legal driving limit is 0.08 percent.

...Undercover officers saw La Russa's SUV sitting partially in an intersection around midnight and not moving despite two green lights...Officers knocked on the window and La Russa did not initially respond...The SUV was in drive and running, with La Russa's foot on the brake...

..."I'm not sure what type of statement to give," La Russa said..."Last night's situation is the opposite of feeling good...I apologize...and I'm not sure there is anything else I can say."

Feeling good? You were feeling NOTHING, Tony! Thank goodness your foot happened to be on the brake. Are your team's prospects for this season THAT bad?

:crazy:
