Another overpaid athlete who can handle his liquor. I can hear it now; “I want to apologize to anyone whom I might have offended”. Or a expression of remorse form the team saying this is not the player we know and there has to be a logical explanation for this odd behavior. Or May be forgot to take his medication for the inflammation on his brain. Better yet, he forgot his wallet and didn’t really mean to steal. That mug shot says it all. he should use it when he makes his next commercial endorsement, “American Express! Never leave home without it!”

Ya know, he could supplement that pitiful income of his by selling this stuff on e**y like all the other ex-cons do. Steal, list and sell. Do nothing and profit from being a criminal.

I look up to a guy like this. A real role model.

For cell block 12 that is.

And when they ran his profile, they discovered that he was married to both Winona Ryder and Lindsay Lohan.

Nah, he’d buy it off you with his kid’s bonus money.

Mike, you’ve got to get on base BEFORE you can steal. Oh, and another thing…

Is Leake dating Winona Ryder?

Love the sympathetic closing. Goes from either ‘ getting help’ to ‘moron’, with no pitstop in between. Priceless. Kind of like the 6 t-shi… oh, never mind.

This is either one of the dumber things a pro athlete has done or he’s a kleptomaniac. And it could be the latter. Growing up, my brother had a friend who would swipe things from people’s houses, and he couldn’t control himself. If that’s the case, I hope he gets help. If it’s not, he’s a moron.

This is so bizarre, I’m struggling to think of a comparable case. Sure, high level pro athletes commit crimes–but usually not shoplifting. Is Leake in the middle of some kind of nervous breakdown, a la Winona Ryder when she got caught shoplifting a while back? Was it some moment of madness, a la Hugh Grant when he got caught with a hooker on Sunset Blvd.? (not that ‘moment of madness’ is really much of an explanation…) I can understand how Lenny Dykstra’s weasly mind works, there are lots of guys like him in the world. But I literally can’t imagine what was going on in Leake’s head.

Never realized this, but Mike Leake couple double as Kirk Cameron….okay, a “grunge” Kirk Cameron….

If there were in fact six shirts, does that count as one CS or six?

Loving the dykstra references. Philly sportstalk 610wip reported today that Lenny recented ripped out his kitchen sink that was worth $40,000 and tried to sell it

Dykstra would steal toilet paper from your hand, as you were using it…

Seriously, right? Unless there is some super secret bet going on where he was put up to this.

Will this ruin his Hall of Fame chances? Discuss.

(Why, no, I’m not being serious. Thanks for asking.)
