RSS FeedChacin Shows Great Judgement, Picks up DUI
Posted by ryan on March 17, 2007
Here at Sportable, an athlete getting a DUI earns them an automatic article, no questions asked. This week’s moron is Gustavo Chacin, pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. Chacin was arrested early Friday morning in Tampa Bay and charged with a DUI after registering a blood-alcohol content of .15. He posted his $500 bond and stumbled on his way.
“It’s a serious mistake and we all make mistakes,” manager John Gibbons said. “The justice system gets your attention pretty good these days, and they should.”
John Gibbons knows plenty about mistakes. This is the guy that likes to slug his own players so it’s shocking that Gibbons wasn’t out taking shots with Chacin. If I’m a cop, I would have arrested Chacin for his stupid glasses, whether or not he was hammered. Those glasses suck and it’s time for Chacin to take them off.
A BAC of .15 means Chacin, weighing all of 193 pounds, probably consumed 7-8 drinks. Compared to other DUIs we’ve covered, Chacin may be the most idiotic. Dominic Rhodes’ BAC was .9 when he was arrested, just a hair over the .8 legal limit. Kings coach Eric Musselman registered a .11 when he was arrested in October. And former professional driver Al Unser Jr. sideswiped somebody and then attempted to drive off. Chacin can brag about being the most hammered of Sportable’s DUI Crew.

[...] Another continually hilarious part of this story is that they got snagged by cops while speeding. This is an announcement to all athletes who drive wasted: don’t break traffic laws. I understand the yellow line might be a little fuzzy, but that’s just because you have the drunk goggles on. Keep the speed at a reasonable speed and you probably won’t get pulled over…unless of course you pitch for the Blue Jays. [...]

[...] For all the talent the Jays have on offense, they find themselves in the middle of the pack in most major offensive categories. It’s their pitching that’s been pure garbage. Before his appendix burst, Halladay had gotten shelled two times in a row. Besides Halladay, every Jays starter has an ERA over five. Gustavo Chacin’s ERA is pushing six, which is about as laughable as his blood-alcohol level. [...]
