The drugs did it.

Is that Traficante's rug?

[Vaquero]

No crying in baseball....


there might be a tear or 2 shed in prison though.

[YouPosting2Me]

He missed the diamond.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a scene from an Elmore Leonard/Quentin Tarantino flick.

[demkicker]

Heard this morning that Reardon made 9 million a year.

Throw that P.O.S. under the jailhouse....

[Hoodat]

Say it ain't so, Jeff!

Tomorrow, the NYTimes will run a front page story blaming the entire incident on President Bush.

The 50-year-old Reardon retired in 1994

Do you know what happens to guys his age in prison? I don't have firsthand knowledge, but it's a fair guess that Reardon isn't going to have a good time of it.

[Tall_Texan]

"Oh, looks like the District Attorney is out of the dugout with the hook, Vin."

"Yes, it looks like a trip to showers for Jeff. After he's been processed and filed of course. That reminds me of the time Joe Niekro was caught with a file up in Minnesota..."

[Little Pig]

Why is it always a note? Are all these guys mute?

[dead]

I think he's gone a little loopy. Depression and anti-depression drugs playing yo-yo with his brain.

He'll likely plead to lesser charges, avoid prison and get a better doctors along with a new toupee.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Isn't he the former Expo that claimed he pitched his no-hitter while high on something? (pot or coke?)

[RckyRaCoCo]

....Police say Reardon had no gun

"stick'em up or i'll throw a curveball up your nose"

[MinuteGal]

He may be a person incapable of handling all the problems in his life. Perhaps he was subconsciously angling for copacide in the bank foray.

He committed the robbery, claming in a note to have a gun, though he didn't have one. He grabbed some money and ran out of the mall. He then walked up to a security guard in the parking lot, confessed and showed him the shopping bag with the money. He waited with the guard for the police to arrive and cooperated, apologizing all the time.

This is a person with problems, not a person to be condemned. He apparently doesn't have financial problems, has had recent personal tragedy and has just had major surgery. He is under heavy medication and it sounds like the doctors got the dosages or interactions screwed up. We are all lucky that this is all he did under the circumstances. Particularly him. This is a classic case of someone who needs help, not punishment.

Oh wow! The jewelry store was in the Gardens Mall.

[mtg]

Does he still have two more strikes?

[Revolting cat!]

Let 'im go - the San Francisco 49rs need good players next season!

[SuziQ]

One too many hits to the head?

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

One of the top relief pitchers in Major League Baseball history

LOL!

Reardon had a LOSING major league career record of 73-77!

Oh hell, put him in the Hall of Fame. Everybody to wear spikes pratically is put in the Hall of Mediocrity Fame. His high number of saves was due to his number of innings pitched which is due to the lack of quality pitchers available.
