Pre-DUI, Joba Was Dealing with Breasts, Boobs

2008_10_jobars.jpgThe tabloids have details on what led to Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain's DUI arrest over the weekend: He was at the Night Before Lounge (the Daily News calls it a "nudie bar") where someone yelled, "If you played for the Red Sox, you wouldn't be sitting here." Chamberlain was angry enough to get out of his chair, but the Post reports that "several friends intervened before the tiff escalated beyond pushing and shoving." So Chamberlain left in a huff--though generously tipped $100 on a $45 bill--only to be arrested for speeding and have a cop notice the open container of alcohol and smell alcohol on his breath (he had a 0.134 blood alcohol level, over the 0.08 limit in Nebraska). Note to Red Sox players: Don't take the bait when someone says, "If you played for Tampa Bay, you wouldn't be sitting here."

If Joba played for the Red Sox he would be sitting in Boston watching the Rays.

Jen Chung already made that joke, Hugo.

Nice work jen chung.

Note to Tampa Bay players: if you played for the Phillies, you wouldn't be sitting here.

So Joba is a good tipsy tipper. That makes him a good role model in my book.

Not that it's important, but...

"Chamberlain paid the $145 tab and left a $100 tip at the club, where the cover charge is $3, the manager said."

$145, NOT a $45 bill. READING COMPREHENSION! But yeah, still a hell of a tip.

And note to Lou Pinella: if you were still in Tampa, you wouldn't be home right now.

@ganghiscon--thanks, the Post said he spent $45 on drinks, $100 on tip.

matty, Let me guess, you have an online crush on Chung-Queen.

I don't think I've heard anyone use the term "nudie bar" since that episode of Married With Children where Al takes Bud to the nudie bar.

"matty, Let me guess, you have an online crush on Chung-Queen. "

Is that so wrong?

:D

He has made to sit out for the reason he consumed alcohol and driving harshly,it is pathetic.
