New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has been charged with driving under the influence after his arrest early Monday morning in Tampa, Fla.
Pineda, who has been in Tampa at the Yankees spring training site as he recovers from shoulder surgery, was arrested at 2:35 a.m. and released on $500 bond, according to the police report. His blood alcohol level was .128, well over the .08 limit.
The report also indicated Pineda’s eyes were red, glassy and watery and that the arresting officer smelled “the distinct odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his breath.”

Teixeira ratted him out. He always did shit like that in Texas. When I would beat my wife or snort meth, Teixeira would never support me. He is a woman.

I’ll rat out anyone not part of the Master Race. #WhitePower

mondays are labels to those who have traditional jobs, those who dont like ball players or other people like those who work in hotels and the such their mondays could be our fridays so thats irrelevant. The problem is that he made a mistake, Im not the biggest supporter of pineda as I hated this trade but I understand the human element behind these guys.

Mine were consensual, Wilt. And from what I heard you didn’t have the decency to sign a basketball for them.
Ritardi August 21, 2012 09:07
Alright, dude, we all like Jeter. You are acting like you are the only one who likes the guy. He is the most popular guy on the team, you are not fighting some one man crusade for recognition for this guy. He is one of the most well-known sports figures in the country/world.
Are you that excited for the hits chase? It will be cool to see where he ends up, but are you really that fucking excited about passing Nap lajoie and Eddie Murray? Go back to you fleshlight and leave us alone.

I HEAR PINEDA IS SPANISH FOR PAVANO.

If it makes you assholes feel any better, I was at least doing the Duque dance at the club.
Billy Martin August 21, 2012 07:26
Finally! A ballplayer nowadays I can respect. It’s actually a great rehab exercise for your arm to lift alcoholic beverages to your gullet. Now if he had just asked, I would have showed him how to drive WITHOUT getting caught!!!
Pineda August 21, 2012 12:52
No, you’ll just teach me to crash my car into a ditch and die.
Call me Crazy August 21, 2012 08:11
Man, everybody knows if you want to drive drunk, you go to Georgia first.
Noob.
Larry Lucchino August 21, 2012 08:21
So you’re telling me that in the past 6 months, he’s been both fat AND drunk? Get me Cashman’s number!!!
Joba August 21, 2012 08:26
Still calling my number, goddamn!
Derek August 21, 2012 08:30
I’m killing the ball. A little help here, huh, guys? I can’t do it all myself!
Rocket August 21, 2012 08:36
I’m back again, fuckers!!

Must be on the Josh Beckett training program.

You guys see me bean Youk last night? Thats all I thought about during rehab!
Jack Zduriencik August 21, 2012 11:37
Hahahahaha. It never gets old. Hahahahaha.
Brian S. August 21, 2012 13:55
Cashman knows how to sign veteran bench players but he knows nothing about pitching.
Joe Girardi August 21, 2012 14:08
Finally, a player making as many bad decisions as I did last night. I overmanaged our pen into a loss the same way Pineda overmanaged a bottle of Courvoisier down his oversized gullet.

Oh, we know, Booney. We DEFINITELY know that…
