Don't Tase Me, Bro (MLB Style)!

If this is how Al Reyes celebrates his 38th birthday -- spitting blood and spinning his arms about as if they were windmills--, then I hope I'll be invited to his 40th. That one will be of legend.

"The bouncers tried to control Reyes, but the 6 foot 1, 230-pound right-hander kept pushing them away. A Tampa Police officer working extra duty at the bar tried to calm the fracas, but Reyes "continued spitting blood and thrashing about," Tampa Police Lt. William Ferguson wrote in the release.

"Moments later, the officer Tased Reyes, knocking him to the bar floor. Ignoring police commands to stay down, authorities said Reyes got up and was Tased a second time."

By the way, weren't the M's close to acquiring him last year?

More from rotoworld:

The newspaper reports that Reyes "fell against a ceramic pot inside the bar" and thought that someone had pushed him, at which point he "began exchanging words" with a patron who eventually "punched Reyes in the face." In a news release, police said that Reyes then "began to spit blood on the people in the area and began to swing his arms about," at which point an officer reportedly twice used a taser to subdue him.

I fucking hate you Mariners
