Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was arrested and charged with DUI around midnight, according to a report in the Palm Beach Post.

Police say he was asleep behind the wheel of his SUV at a traffic light, with his foot on the brake and the engine running.
When he finally responded to repeated knocks on the window, officers noticed a smell of alcohol and administered a roadside sobriety test.

La Russa was taken to county jail and booked on a misdemeanor charge.

That is sad, so drunk that you pass out while at a red light. That dude is in for it. I wouldnt want to be him right now

[wayne1218]

Do you think that possibly he wasn't hammered and it was a few beers and being very tired? I've been pretty tired before and a couple of beers can knock you out.

That has never happend to me. But anything is possible, i guess we will find out when his blood alcohol results are released

I'm not a Larussa fan at all but i've dozed off at a red light before while exhausted and it doesn't take much when you are wiped to do it. I've dozed off going down the interstate before in the middle of the night. Last i knew i was in the passing lane and the rumble strip woke me up. Thankfully nobody was beside me and i drifted to the right and not the left into the guardrail. At the time i did not have anything to drink either. He may have been hammered, i don't know but it was very late at night. We have had people up here fall asleep going through a toll booth and rip it apart and on the turnpike often without a drink. I guess him sleeping is what makes me question whether it was the alcohol or lack of sleep or a little of both!

It is .08 here too and that is literally like a couple of beers and out the door. It doesn't take much to hit .08 and that kind of confirms my theory that it was more a lack of sleep and being exhausted than it was alcohol. Nobody is going to pass out at .09, nobody.

Nobody is going to pass out at .09, nobody.

O.K.

Maybe Rook would but Tony isn't a tiny guy.

yeah and who knows he prolly is on some sorta medication. most ppl over 50 are. that could affect him also.

[wayne1218]

The legal limit was .08 and he blew 0.093

He didn't look drunk in his mug shot.
