You're probably right. He doesn't have a problem, he's just unlucky. He's only drank three times in his life and happened to get caught doing something dangerous or unlawful each time!!
What are the odds???

I got to agree here. You know what? If this happened to me, my boss would still expect me at work Monday morning, giving 100%. Same goes for Cabrera. Just get your ass on the field and hit the ball. He can re-hab by staying away from the booze during the season. Come opening day, he will be in the line up, batting 4th. I don't care what he does off the field, none of my business.
What I was trying to get at is this :
During the season you gotta believe he's NOT drinking, he's hangin out with the teammates, it would be EASY to know that he had been drinking.
What he does on his own time outside of the season is HIS doing, I really don't care what he does . (Driving under the influence I do not condone at all)
So, DID he have a gun with him ?
We don't know at this time.
He'd been drinking, alcohol has different effects on every one.
Did he have any intent to actually DO any of the stuff he was yapping about, we don't know ....
Many people get belligerent and do things that they normally wouldn't think of doing.
As I've said previously, I don't agree with driving after drinking....
Also, as of this point, no one KNOWS what the Tigers and MLB have him in .... I heard someone saying that the Tigers are doing nothing .... I HIGHLY doubt thats the case.
Not EVERYTHING has to be Tweeted and texted.
Doesn't matter. You can't go around threatening to kill people, hinting that you're carrying a gun.
If this is the effect drinking has on him is like this, shouldn't he stop drinking?? And, if he needs help, shouldn't he get it??
Please see my first response.
Please see my second response again.
OK, now the response to your endless questions ....
We do not know that Cabrera is NOT getting consoling at this time....
Just because it's not on the National news doesn't mean the Tigers have done nothing ....
There are different ways to deal with this stuff once they determine the problem.
He could very easily be going to consoling during the morning or evening hours and back in time for games and workouts.
It happens and was mentioned the day after it happened by the doctors that were interviewed.
Rehab does NOT have to be a 24 hour a day thing.
I understand that you want to find the worst possible situation in all this, but you don't know any more than the next guy whats happening behind the scenes.
Studies have shown that those types of rehab are the least effective. See for a recent example: The Sober Valley Lodge.
Not at all. All I'm trying to do is illustrate that the guy has a problem and most likely needs professional help. You're clearly doing the opposite and trying to find a silver lining in his recent troubles. If you or a loved one were driving near him while he was impaired, or personally threatened by him, I'm sure you would feel differently.
Boy do you have my statement wrong ...
I NEVER said what he did was OK.
As far as treatment goes, never said he didn't need it, just pointing out that there are many treatment options available.
There treatment where you LIVE. There and there are other options such as Out Patient....
Seeing the Tigers AND MLB are involved, I'm guessing he will get what they all feel is nessasary, remember, it's the DOCTORS call as to which type of treatment he gets, not Cabreras or the Tigers call.

If this were the NFL, Cabrera would be sitting for 30-40 games. Of course it's not so they just let the drunk play baseball.

1st offense gets you put in the drug & alcohol program, 2nd alcohol offense in the NFL gets you 3-4 games. 3rd offense gets you a year.
What player in the NFL has had 2 alcohol or drug arrests and was not suspended?
Ya, I saw that too ... I think he's talking about his legs mostly needing to get into baseball shape...
As you know, there is NO baseball shape, just look at some pitchers out there.
Alcoholism IS a sickness. Nice to know you have compassion for fellow man. He has not hurt anyone with his drunkness yet....so let's hope he gets help he needs.
Has he? I have not kept up on this this story. And if he has, it does not make it an less a sickness?
Apparently he has, although some reports say she got in a couple shots of her own too.
I've you've been reading this thread, you would have seen that I have been saying all along that the man needs help. Some others have claimed that there isn't an underlying problem to try and fix....
