Aroldis Chapman Has the Need for Speed: Four Speeding Tickets in Two Years
Aroldis Chapman, the Cincinnati Reds’ closer, was arrested earlier this week after he was pulled over for speeding and cops found he was driving on a suspended license. The Cincinnati Enquirer has done some digging and it turns out Chapman – the guy who may or may not have thrown a 106 mph fastball – has four speeding tickets in two years. He’s a menace to the highways of Kentucky and Ohio! Chapman has had his license suspended twice in 11 months.
[Sidenote: Why hasn't Chapman pulled the, "Don't you know who I am?" card? If Indians pitchers are using it, Reds pitchers should definitely be using it.]
Can’t the Reds pony up and get this guy a driver? Or did that plan fall apart when they gave Joey Votto $225 million? Cincinnati GM Walt Jocketty, sounding like a concerned father, said:
“The best advice we can give him right now is to slow down,” Jocketty said. “He likes to drive his car fast.”

My hobbies are fast cars and fast women because uh… that’s why my… the guys in my car club call me the ‘cruiser’.
Should have called him the dork!

He is learning English by watching Vin Diesel movies
He lives his life a quarter mile at a time

My favorite part of the original Fast and the Furious was that the final quarter mile race took right around three minutes.

you can have any brew you want…as long as it’s a corona.

On a positive note: Tracy Chapman just bought a Reds jersey.

It works on many levels. Nicely done.

It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning’s winning.

I was not prepared to see a “Certified Fresh” rating when I just check RT for Fast 5. Mind, blown.

To be fair, the S63 AMG is a badass car that deserves to be unleashed.

Well played…

my favorite part was after the movie all the high school kids with ricers and beaters trying to lay down some rubber as they left the parking lot
May 24th, 2012 at 12:23 PM
I’ll buy him his own damn racetrack if he keeps terrorizing the National League. Dude’s on a whole ‘nother level right now. 43Ks in 24 IP.

I still think Brian France saw this movie and decided to put a wing on a fucking 850 HP “stock” car. What a joke that bitch is.

Aroldis Chapman…typical white boy name
May 24th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
Weird seeing one of the kids from Home Improvement in Tokyo Drift.
/ashamed to say I watched that movie.

That certainly lowers my opinion of Rotten Tomatoes. Metacritic from now on I guess.
May 24th, 2012 at 12:27 PM
it actually wasn’t too bad.
certainly no citizen kane, but i haven’t found one action movie with The Rock to be completely terrible (reserves right to change mind with the next GI Joe if i ever see it)
May 24th, 2012 at 12:27 PM
fast 5…sigh…was rather enjoyable. dont go in expecting too much and your expectations will be exceeded.
May 24th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
doom?
May 24th, 2012 at 12:30 PM
ah, completely forgot about that one. for good reason, too.
May 24th, 2012 at 12:32 PM
I loved Ron Simmons and Butch Reed

Speed is life.
