Another Florida Pitcher Gets Tasered

It seems like ages since we've had a good taser story but thanks to Tampa Bay hurler Al Reyes, we finally have one. Reyes, who was at a bar, apparently fell into a ceramic pot, got up and then engaged in a fight with the guy that pushed him into the pot. I've got to say, if ever there was a time to pick a fight, this would be it. Then at some point the popo decided this was getting out of hand, I'm figuring it's the part where he allegedly was "spitting blood and thrashing about" when they decided to taser Reyes who witnesses said "appeared to be intoxicated" at the time of the incident. You think? I mean this is no way to celebrate your 38th birthday, Al. Plus I think someone may be getting too old for this crap.

Reyes was treated for a cut on his nose at the scene before being charged with being in a fight that distrubed the peace. His battery mate, Eduardo Mora was charged with battery. Watch out boys, because the popo are on your tail!
