... : Police arrested St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, a misdemeanor, after he was found sleeping at a green light in his running Ford SUV about midnight at Frederick Small Boulevard and Military Trail. Police on Thursday said they grew suspicious because the running SUV was stopped at a light that went through two cycles of green. A driver behind it had to go around, police said. Rough day at the ballpark? The Cardinals pitching staff owns the best ERA in spring training, so it's not like there's a lot of pressure on Tony right now. Maybe he's just part of the long history of hard drinking, successful managers. I wonder if he'll serve as his own attorney? Update : There's a great map of the incident scene at Deadspin .

... I don't much feel like linking to the stories about this, because they're depressing.  Ditto the commentary.  One page I will link to is the Deadspin story, which has a depressing-yet-amusing Google Earth photo showing that LaRussa was only 1.5 miles away from getting away with it.  In any case, there were news stories about this EVERYWHERE.
