Adam Kennedy arrested on DUI suspicion

Nearly six years ago, Richie Sexson made the same mistake and went on to slug .541, so based on a sample size of one, we're really going to hate Adam Kennedy in 2014.

My first reaction was a Nelson-like "Haw haw"

and then I remembered …

Baseball player getting a DUI in Orange County?

If only he were still on the Angels.

They must have the wrong guy.

Did you see the headline? “MLB Star Adam Kennedy — Busted for DUI” Last time I checked, it’s been a while since we signed an MLB star.

We did just trade away MLB All Star Jose Lopez.

We signed a pretty good pitcher last year

Unless you're talking about Bedard

We traded for Lee, didn’t sign him.

OH HEY THE CONTRACT EXTENSION

DISREGARD, I AM A MORON

Man....

how many times have there been stuff happen to the M’s so far this off season you just have to shake your head at?

JD’s like, "you want some fucking pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, bitches!"- RCCook

LSB: "Oh shit, JD. You crazy!"

I've been shaking my head constantly.

But that’s probably because of the Parkinsons

I didnt even remember that we signed Adam Kennedy.

We’ve signed a lot of random people this year.

Kennedy's Mariner career has been a real disappointment

Disagree.

If Kennedy slugs .541 we will most surely like him come two thousand and fourteen

Seattle Mariners 2nd baseman [...] was busted for DUI in Orange County last night

Surprisingly not Bret Boone.

We are so bad.

I'm sick and tired of these Mariners commiting these boring everyday crimes.

Where’s the Illegal Importing of a Endangered Animal? Where’s the Practicing Dentistry Without a License? Where’s the Conspiricy to Commit Regicide? Shouldn’t we as fans demand a better class of baseball criminal?

Dawg! He put da team on his back!

by JAH on Jan 27, 2011 12:34 PM PST reply actions

Regicide is the one thing that could make this team worse.

Wasn't he like an outfielder with the A's?

Aw shit, does not open in new window.

Sorry guys.

I like this because it made me think.

Rasheem Brock got busted for DUI then got super powers from the ordeal so I thinks that I likes this.

by Robert on Jan 27, 2011 12:36 PM PST reply actions

But Tatupu just sucked after his.

by Mariner John on Jan 27, 2011 5:14 PM PST up reply actions

That was probably because he was driving a Hyundai

The moral of that story was if you are a celebrity who wants to get a DUI make sure you do it in a really shitty car so this way your fans get distracted by that and empathize with you.

by Robert on Jan 27, 2011 9:37 PM PST up reply actions

Wait

this article says “MLB Star Adam Kennedy” It must be someone else

Why do they always get drunker?

Getting drunk is a rational response to waking up one morning and realizing you have signed with the Seattle Mariners

Taking a chance on killing yourself or others by driving while drunk is an over the top response though. Call a taxi.

by Droid Rage on Jan 27, 2011 1:14 PM PST reply actions

I would think getting drunk would be the precursor to signing a contract with the M's

Not the reaction.

Via Larry Stone

When I got back to the office, I called the California Highway Patrol in Orange County and confirmed that Kennedy had indeed been stopped in Newport Beach last night just before 9 p.m. The public information officer told me that Kennedy was determined to be driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and arrested at 9:11 p.m on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was booked into the Orange County Men’s Central Jail, and released this morning.
…

One more thing: The officer I spoke to made a point of saying that the word “drugs” is part of the vehicular code and not necessarily indicative of any suspicion of drug use.
