      Kearse arrested for DUI

      June 23, 2008 /

      According to Newschannel 5 in Tennessee, Titans’ defensive end Jevon Kearse was arrested for DUI early Sunday.

      Around 4:45 Sunday morning Vanderbilt police said Kearse was speeding and swerving several times while travelling west on West End Avenue. The officer who pulled the Titans over said Kearse exhibited slurred speach, red eyes, and smelled of alcohol.

      The officer said Kearse stated that he only had one vodka and a red bull.

      A Vanderbilt police officer said, he noticed a Cadillac Escalade swerving in and out of lanes traveling west, going at least 40 miles an hour in the 30 mile an hour zone. And a statement from Vanderbilt police said, “The officer had reasonable grounds to believe the driver was impaired by alcohol. The driver submitted to field sobriety tests, which indicated he was impaired. He refused to take a breathalyzer test.”

      According to Vanderbilt police, Kearse had two passengers. Kearse was booked Sunday morning, but was later released. According to Vanderbilt police, he released the Escalade to one of the passengers. A member of Titans’ security drove Kearse away Sunday morning. He will have to appear in court to face DUI charges.

      15 Reasons the Cubs won’t win this year

      June 21, 2008 /

      EPIC Carnival lists 15 reasons why those lovable losers the Chicago Cubs won’t win the World Series in 2008.

      7. Cubs players can never resist, over the course of the year, getting as hammered as their fans

      6. Geovany Soto probably can’t maintain a +.900 OPS and his status as arguably the best hitting catcher in MLB, especially with a lot of day games and limited playing time for back-ups (mostly, that’s Henry Blanco, so you see why)

      5. One suspects that they really aren’t the second-best offensive and fourth-best pitching staff in all of MLB

      4. The last 700 at-bats before changing the laundry says that Jim Edmonds really isn’t a good offensive player anymore

      3. Eventually, they’ll remember that they play in Comedy Central and “relax”

      2. Despite their better record this year, getting swept by the Rays is still getting swept by the Rays

      1. They are the Cubs

      The No. 1 reason probably covers the rest of the 15 on its own, but the Cubs are playing with crazy confidence right now. They’re winning from behind, winning in close games and winning without arguably their best hitter, Alfonso Soriano. I’m not ready to crown the Cubs World Series champs, but there’s no denying they look real good right now.

      Saturday Morning Headliners: Jays fire Gibbons

      June 21, 2008 /

      – A day after the Mariners fired their manager the Jays axed John Gibbons. Toronto has amassed an impressive young pitching staff, but Gibbons failed to the club’s offense rolling. Cito Gaston will replace Gibbons effective immediately.

      – The surprising play of Edinson Volquez continues as the Reds’ starter went 7.0 innings, giving up just two runs on seven hits in Cincy’s 4-2 win over the Yankees. Volquez is now 10-2 on the season and still leads the majors in ERA (1.72).

      – The Cubs defeated the White Sox 4-3 in the opening game of the Cross-Town Classic. Aramis Ramirez had a monster game, blasting two dingers including one in the bottom of the ninth off Sox reliever Scott Linebrink.

      – Aubrey Huff went 4 for 5 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs in the Orioles’ 8-5 win over the Brewers.

      – Kurt Suzuki went off in Oakland, driving in five runs on a 4 for 5 day as the A’s beat the Marlins 7-6.
