Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Gustavo Chacin got kinda drunk Friday night. Then, like an idiot, drove his car. He got busted: arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
The real question is, was he wearing those sweet shades?
Chacin was stopped by Tampa police early Friday morning and registered a blood-alcohol content of .150 and .152 in two consecutive readings. He actually became more intoxicated just standing there. The state limit is .08, so he was booked for a misdemeanor and released from jail on a $500 bond.
GM J.P. Ricciardi and manager John Gibbons are both 100% behind Chacin. "He made a mistake and we want to work with him, not against him," said Ricciardi.
The left-hander went 9-4 last season with a 5.05 ERA, but missed more than two months due to problems with his elbow. Chacin is 23-14 in 53 career outings.
