Wow, I wonder what the Tigers Hangout would look like right now if they had one

"...Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera was taken in for questioning early Saturday morning based on a 911 call made from his home by his wife, Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson said Monday..."

"...Before his release, test police administered a breath , and Cabrera registered .26. A reading of .08 is considered intoxicated for motorists, but because he was at home, and not behind the wheel of a car, it is not a criminal offense..."

"...Cabrera declined to comment on scratches to his face before Saturday's game, which the Tigers lost 5-1. Had the Tigers won Saturday and Sunday, they would have won the American League Central Division title and averted Tuesday's 5:07 p.m. one-game playoff at Minnesota for the right to play the Yankees in the AL playoffs..."

"...He had a dismal performance in Saturday's game, going 0-4, including striking out once and leaving six runners on base..."

The buddies were players from the Chicago White Sox, who Cabrera was partying with after Friday night’s game at Birmingham’s Townsend Hotel, Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson said.

But when he got home, his wife wasn’t happy he’d been out drinking so late, Patterson said. Roseann Cabrera called 911 at 6:05 a.m. to report the two were fighting, according to reports.

“He was out late, came home and his spouse didn’t appreciate that, I guess and it got into an argument,” Patterson said. Police took Cabrera to the police station for questioning, including help from a Michigan State Police interpreter.

But after investigators determined both Cabrera and his wife were “aggressors” in the situation, Patterson said, the first baseman was released. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski picked Cabrera up at the station between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Saturday, he added.

So he's out drinking all night with opposing players, staggers home around 6am, gets picked up at the police station by the Tigers' GM between 7:30am and 8am, and then bats cleanup in one of the most important games of the year starting at 2:30 that afternoon. And stinks the joint up.

If Detroit loses their playoff game Tuesday somebody's going to get blamed for their season ending collapse, and Cabrera looks to be a great candidate. Wonder if the Tigers will try and dump him this offseason for fifty cents on the dollar?
