Miguel Cabrera Parties With White Sox, Gets A Bit Tipsy, Cops Are Called
As it turned out, the White Sox’ final series of the season, a three-game set with Detroit, actually ended up meaning something. With the Twins two games back of Detroit on Friday, the Sox ripped off wins on Friday and Saturday, and the Twins won on Friday and Saturday against Kansas City, setting up a tie for first place in the AL Central heading into the last day of the season Sunday. Both the Tigers and Twins won, so Detroit and Minnesota will have a one-game playoff in the Metrodome tomorrow in order to determine the winner of the AL Central and which team will be heading to the postseason. (My money’s on the Twins in that stadium.)
But we’re not here to talk about baseball. We’re here to talk about off-field issues. Awesome! You see, the Tigers’ multi-million dollar first baseman, Miguel Cabrera, decided that instead of heading home on Friday night after the loss to rest up for what was quite possibly the most important game of the season, he would instead party balls with some members of the White Sox until the wee hours of the morning. (Good strategy by the Sox!) Fair enough. This is baseball; he wasn’t running a marathon the next day, and Saturday’s game was in the evening.
But according to the Detroit News, Cabrera’s wife wasn’t a fan of his late-night shenanigans, and called the cops on him at 6:05 a.m. on Saturday morning after they’d been arguing and apparently scratched each other up a bit. Cabrera blew a .26 — a .26! — and was taken into the station for a bit, before he was released. No one is pressing any charges.
Back to baseball now. Cabrera went 0-for-4 on Saturday night, striking out once and leaving six runners on base. He was 0-for-11 on the weekend.
If I’m the Twins, I’m wondering if Cabrera wants to hit the town with us tonight. Drinks on Gardenhire!
