Miguel Cabrera's alcohol-fueled domestic incident should concer...

Forget, for a moment, that Miguel Cabrera apparently got into a physical altercation with his wife.

[Conservative observations]

No comments from either spouse. The probably just means that he has a very understanding wife who knows how difficult it would be for Caberra to have to acknowledge that that a woman, let alone his spouse, pounded the heck out of him, the macho thing and all of that silliness.

[Krazi]

So lets see if I have this straight:

Woman calls police on 911 sobbing, says husband hit her.

Officers arrive and find male intoxicated at more than three times the legal limit.

Both male and female caller show signs of a physical altercation.

Police elect NOT to make an arrest, rather they drive the intoxicated male to the police department where his boss comes and picks him up..

Police claim they couldn't figure out who the aggressor was? Hmmmm....

Not too sure of how the law reads in Michigan but if this were to have occurred in Minnesota there would be a few police officers with some very serious delreliction of duty issues. Some jobs could be in jeopardy.

go Twins !

Its tough to swallow. Especially when you have a son who would give anything to be a pro baseball player. His passion so strong its unexplainable. And the local people in our area won't get him there! Then you see something like this. Something so precious.....something so important to fans! How can you get paid so much money and let so many down??? The last game was pathetic! Tigers should have won! They carried first place so far. How could you let your team down to not be top notch to win such an important game. For the amount of money they are paid it sure doesn't make sense! Its called being responsible for yourself. This society is no longer responsible for yourself!! Its everyone elses fault! Angels vs Yankees 2 to 2 --- sad its not Detroit listed there!

Jim Leland -- I had the pleasure of meeting your son this summer! Good luck to him -- he's a great kid!!

Pro's should have zero tolerance!

Its tough but deal with it!

I am not in MI, or Detroit, but I remember thinking from the first time I heard this
that it says a lot about the Tiger organization that the GM picks him up and the manager
starts him the next (and each one after that) game. No discipline whatsoever as long
as he could help in a pennant race. Would they have reacted differently if the Tigers
were out of it, or had already wrapped it up? We will never know, but the pennant race
superceded anything he did; again, that says something about the Tigers organization.

You are there; tell me where I am wrong and I will stand corrected.
