Tony La Russa done in by that one last drink

Tony La Russa was arrested around midnight last night after failing a DUI test... just barely. The legal limit in Florida is .080 and La Russa registered at .093 on the breathalyzer. But stats aside, you know the real reason La Russa was busted for DUI? His car was stopped at an intersection but still in drive and he was asleep (and we imagine drooling) with his foot on the brake.

Not only did La Russa almost make it under the .08 limit, he was almost home. The intersection where he fell asleep was only half a mile from his house. A shot of Red Bull would have kept him going those extra 2 minutes and he would have avoided all this embarassment and bad publicity.
