Miguel Cabrera’s DUI Involves “Do You Know Who I Am” & Drinking Scotch During Arrest [UPDATE]
Miguel Cabrera was arrested for DUI late Wednesday – he’s had problems with alcohol before – and the incident has the potential to become legendary as more facts emerge. According to the Associated Press, Cabrera “took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy” before saying, “Do you know who I am, you don’t know anything about my problems.” We eagerly await word on what brand of scotch Cabrera was drinking. Bud Selig, welcome to Spring Training! [UPDATE: Ugly details after the jump.]
A deputy reported Cabrera was put in handcuffs after not following orders. Cabrera also “kept running out in the road with his hands up.”
A deputy asked Cabrera to get his a patrol vehicle, and he said, “(Expletive) you.”
Miguel Cabrera pushed off a vehicle into a deputy, who “delivered 3-4 knee spikes” into Cabrera’s left thigh.
Oh, brother. And the brand of Scotch? James Buchanan. Looks like it’s pretty expensive.

why legendary?
comical? yes. but it’s pretty much the norm for people to embarrass themselves, become agressive, sob, etc. during their arrest.
it’s not like Cabrera has achieved some high status where his actions would surprise anyone to the point of being considered legenday.

If he gets suspended, what the fuck do they do? 1B and CF were the only positions they were supposedly complete set with one guy. Shit, shit, shit.

This made me laugh because it reminded me of a few weeks ago when UGA signed their stud running back. The next week, so caller calls into 680 The Fan when the question was how much will Crowell contribute. This dude calls in to say that he think Crowell will go for 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns…as a freshmen. Never mind the fact that UGA has had two players rush for that in the history of their team (Herschel and Garrison Hearst). This dude will do it as a freshmen.
February 17th, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Exactly, he didn’t have much farther to fall after showing up drunk/hungover to games they needed to win at the end of the 2009 season in order to stave off the Twins

I don’t think he’ll get suspended by MLB. Maybe the Team will suspend him for a week or so, just to make it look like they are taking a stand. Either way, I’ve already penciled the twins in for the division…

It’s MLB, his suspension will be like 10 games. During that time VMart plays 1b, Avila plays C, Mags plays DH, and one of those young kids will play RF.
