The cop that kneed him three times to get into cop car said it first though.
Too easy Jim!

Ugh. This situation is not good for us Tigers fans.
I know you are on the other side of the state but it was either the News or Free Press that had a long human-interest story on him this summer about how he turned his life around and how the sober life was so much better than his previous "alcohol" life etc. It was a puff-piece and really short on details and full of cliches. Since the article was so short on details, I questioned whether any of it was true.
I also saw where Dombrowski hinted that he doesn't think he will miss a game so I guess that rules out in-patient rehab. I guess the Tigers have 23 million reasons a year to keep him on the field.
I think I would just bite the bullet and put him in a program and see if he can get well and if he misses games, then he misses games. I bet the Tigers don't do that though.
Ha ha funny, CC.
I'm a huge Cabrera fan. My concern isn't his addiction to alcohol (that's as common as can be), it's his inability to just get drunk at home and quietly go to bed.
His behavior when drunk indicates something much darker than simple addiction. So, I worry about that.
But Ruth and Mantle were 10 times worse. Baseball has plenty of current alcoholic players that nobody knows about.
There are quiet, good drunks, and then there are loud, destructive drunks.
Based on the police reports for both arrests (that we know of), it is pretty clear Cabrera is a "mean drunk". Whether that manifests itself when he is sober, who knows.
For what it is worth, there are about 20 current players I collect and he is one of them and I collected him even before he came to the Tigers. A true destructive force with the bat. He is someone I would like to like personally but....
I hope he can find peace and health.
