Matt Bush was involved in three separate hit-and-runs on the day he was arrested

This is just … wow:
Rays minor league pitcher Matt Bush got in a previous hit-and-run accident three hours before police arrested him in North Port Mar. 22 for a DUI-hit-and-run crash, according to Venice Police records.
Marc Topkin has the details from the police reports in the story. No one else was hurt — one involved hitting a car and then making an illegal u-turn, the other was hitting a light pole — but it’s amazing that Bush didn’t kill anyone.
Thankfully, Tony Tufano, the 72-year-old motorcyclist Bush hit at the end of his rampage is improving and, according to his family, is close to being released from the hospital.

Somehow this is Ozzie Guillen’s fault. Bring me his head. (sorry watching a lot of Game of Thrones)
In all seriousness, what a p.o.s. this guy is. He must have learned his lesson after this, but if not, he will have time to learn while sitting in a cold, dark cell somewhere for awhile.

How many hours was this man drunk? Get to rehab and stay there. This is light years more serious than Ozzie’s antics.

He should have to change his name to Richard Skull.

He will easily the number 1 prospect on the prison softball team. Hopefully he won’t piss this away like he did with his other career.

You think the Ass Pounders will get the chance to take him with the Number 2 pick or will the Pounded Asses realize that have to take it, er, I mean him, first?

Now they can make a baseball movie based on The Longest Yard. He can play the lead character.

The only guy in history to get three hits but still hit the cycle.

I don’t know if I’m upset by this because its in poor taste or because I didn’t think of it first… probably a little of both…. actually 10% former 90% latter.

Is this what could be called hitting for the cycle?

This guy saw Bobby Jenks arrest and said “only 2 hit and runs? Pussy. I can outdo that. Rays beat the Sox again!!”

Bush needs James Loney’s legal counsel.

Except Loney’s blood came back clean. Bush, not so much.
