A driver’s license is a privilege. It’s revocation is not a punishment. If you don’t abide by the EULA (i.e., that you will take a breathalyzer if you are stopped), the privilege can be revoked without an act of law.

Darn distractions from what should be a good series…
The Cardinals lead the NL in run scoring, while the Braves lead the NL in run prevention. St. Louis leads the NL in run differential. Despite a .500 record, the Braves are 4th in the NL in that department.
The Braves are glad to be home, and their brutal April will soon be over. They have played 17 games on the road, more than any team in the NL, including the recent western swing. This series starts a stretch of 15 of 18 at home.
Although the Cardinals are smoking the baseball, this will be just their fourth game played this year against a team in the top half of the league in allowing runs. They are averaging over six runs in 10 games against teams in the bottom five of the NL in run prevention, and about 3.5 runs per in their 15 other games.
The Braves offense has paled in comparison, but, just like last April, a lot of their early opponents have good pitching and defense. 13 of their 26 games have been against the four teams ranked 2nd through 5th in the NL in run prevention.

My understanding about the way the law is written in GA is if you refuse a breath test, then you forfeit your license and must take a blood test at either the jail or at a hospital.
No court order needed.

I watched some of the Cardinals versus Houston game last night. The Cards seem to have a few issues with their bullpen. Despite a huge lead, they almost blew it for the second time in the series. Houston’s offense isn’t pitiful, but it’s not “all that” either.
If the Braves can bring what they were smoking in the last two games in San Diego, this should be an interesting series.

The Cards have so many weapons up and down their lineup that they dont even need Pujols to be clicking for them to produce runs.Holliday, Rasmus, Freese and of course Ark Trans’ favorite Cardinal (he even picks him in fantasy teams folks!) Lance Berkman who is healthy and hot right now. I doubt we can shut them down, so let us hope our bats are awake.

Other than 24 hours in jail there’s no super downside to someone like him with a DUI. No MLB suspension. Maybe he can’t go to Canada for games. Can’t drive the team bus. Can’t fly the plane. Even Allen Iverson had a driver (for his Lambo) when he got pulled in Buckhead. Can’t wait to see if the police report is as good as the one the AJC obtained on that Damon Evans case.

You can spin it any way you want, but I assure you if I had paid for tickets to get into a game with my son when he was nine years old and he had watched a uniformed coach of any team thrust his hips and make masturbatory motions on a bat while asking fans if they took it up the @ss, I too would have engaged him.
Whether that father handled this appropriately or even if he hopes to gain monetarily from it, is of no concern to me. My concern is that a coach, a leader of the Braves organization who should be enforcing standards of conduct, may have done something so crude and disgusting in front of young children, and then, when confronted by a parent, rather than apologize, became threatening. If he did this, he should be fired. If any of you feel any other way about it, I’m frankly baffled by that.

AB –
my thinking is that a license cannot be revoked without due process. If you ARE convicted of DUI, yes then I can see the revocation. But to say if you don’t contribute to the Police accumulation of evidence against you, you’ll automatically lose your license is absurd.
And to say if you don’t blow up this balloon, we’re taking you to jail, strapping you down and taking your blood to use as evidence against you is even more absurd.

I think you lose your licence for at least 6 months if your refuse to take a breathyzer or blood test. I don’t think they can force you to take a blood test, unless they’ve changed the law in recent years.
Any law enforcement personnel or acutal lawyers on the blog?
This situation with McDowell, and now Lowe, reminds me of 1991 when Brian Hunter and then Keith Mitchell, both rookies, got DUIs back to back in Sepember, I think, during the heat of the pennant race.
Terry Pendelton took those young men aside, into an empty room, closed the door, and read them the riot act. No more problems.

I generally believe the fans should not engage the millionaires over the wall, on the field, on the court, in the parking lot and at the restaurant. These are not upstanding citizens as such, they are ballplayers.
Sure, don’t cuss in front of kids, but I have been doing that all my life. I even get to cuss in court when I am quoting cussing. And although this may be blaming the ‘victim’, I wonder what the heckling fans were saying and whether the ‘victim’ confronted them as well. Doubt it.

I’m sure the Braves have all sorts of conduct or behavior clauses in contracts with their players. I think the players will be reminded of these clauses.

You can lose your license for a year if you refuse the test. Instead, you pay the $150 to get an ALS hearing, you tell the cop you will plead to the DUI and he withdraws the “1205″ suspension thingy. Then when you plead to the DUI you still get a year suspension but you can get a limited permit immediately. On a first DUI. You mileage may vary.

If I am Arrested for DUI in Florida, am I Required to Take a Chemical Test?
No. If you are arrested and charged with a DUI, you may choose not to take a breath or blood BAC (blood alcohol content) test. However, a refusal to do so will have serious consequences due to Florida’s implied consent laws.
What is Implied Consent?
Florida’s implied consent law states that any person who accepts the privilege of operating a motor vehicle within the state is, by so operating such vehicle, deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an approved chemical test or physical test. These tests include, but are not limited to, an infrared light test of his or her breath for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of his or her blood or breath if the person is lawfully arrested for any offense allegedly committed while the person was driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages.
Additionally, Florida law stipulates that in DUI cases involving serious bodily injury or death, an officer may use reasonable force if necessary to require the driver to submit to the administration of a blood test. Even if you refuse, reasonable force may be used to draw blood for a BAC test under these circumstances.
What are the Penalties for Refusing to Take a Breath or Blood Test After Being Arrested for DUI?
If you are lawfully arrested for a DUI and refuse to submit to a BAC test, you will be subjected to mandatory license suspensions. Additionally, you may be charged with a criminal misdemeanor for subsequent refusals. The penalties for refusing to take a BAC test are in addition to the standard penalties for a DUI. The penalties for refusal are as follows:
First Offense: License suspension for 1 year
Second and Subsequent Offenses: License suspension for 18 months and first degree misdemeanor charges

First you have Bench, then the Bench mystique, then Gary Carter. Simmons was one heck of a hitter for a catcher, extremely consistent for a full decade with the Cardinals. McCann is the same, he doesn’t dazzle you with his defense but he’s an extremely consistent hitter with solid but unspectacular power.

So it then could be replayed over and over. If you truely believed it would screw up your children. I personally loved where one of the girls read from a sheet a paper how much it disturbed her. Really?? It disturbed her so much she had to read it?
If he didnt like it and said he would never return to a game, then I would believe he was truely upset. He just wants some fame and maybe a quick buck.
While what Roger did was in poor taste its being blown out of proportion, starting with the father. Roger did nothing more than what is done on TV and Im not even talking about skinamax.

Perhaps this will get Derek Lowe off the field for a few games and we can actually win some games he would have started in. Guy has been bad for us lately. Seven Runs allowed in 9 innings pitched. Braves 0-2 in those games.
As for Roger…anti-gay slurs. Shouldn’t get in any trouble for them, but he probably will. Not really sure how its any different than what players/coaches normally say. The real problem isn’t what he said, but is that he said it to a fan. Shouldn’t be talking to fans during the game. Especially the other team’s fans.

Carl at 1:42 funny. I did actually laugh. Thank you.
Bravefan in DC, not sure what you meant. Probably a bad joke. Maybe I will get a lawyer and hold a news conference.

Why is it taking so long to get some sort of release from the Braves regarding McDowell’s fate?
They’re still reading all the blogs to figure out an appropriate response.

Brava, didnt say the father was wrong. Just saying if he was truly upset and believed his daughters were scarred for life then he wouldnt be dragging them through this. And yes it is blown out of proportions. Roger made a bad joke. Move on.

Yes Jeffrey google it. Its on the 1min and 44 sec clip. She looked at the camera and then looked down at a sheet of paper and read it. She was greatly scarred.

No keylargo, on a refusal you lose your license 30 days after the arrest and if you failed to request the ALS (administrative license suspension) hearing within 10 business days of the arrest.
People pay lawyers thousands upon thousands for this kind of advice but I’ll sell the first time, DUI guilty plea for $500. It’s kind of formulaic. George Stein and Bubba Head both wrote great books about this stuff. I bought both.

sounds like it was during batting practice or fielding drills, before the game.

“kta – 1. Thanks for letting us know,”even though we don’t have a right to know”. 2 – It was a joke… If you can’t tell we could use some humor today…”
Oh…that was a joke and humor? Stupid Stupid me. I was just too slow and dumb to get it. I thought you really wanted to know since you brought it up. I guess I’m just not a wild and crazy guy like some of you.

Glad we didn’t resign Saito. He’s only made two relief appearances and was placed on the DL for a left hamstring strain. He left his first rehab assignment yesterday with an oblique strain. Feel bad for him, but glad he’s not a Brave.

That’s because Saito turned 87 during the off-season…
