The General Manager isn’t important enough to make the celebratory podium? Probably couldn’t fit him in with both Hank Steinbrenner and his giant entitlement complex also on the stage.
2008 NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum is facing misdemeanor weed charges following a traffic stop in his home state of Washington.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Steve Schatzel said Thursday that the 2008 Cy Young Award winner and former star at the University of Washington was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 5 in the town of Hazel Dell, about four miles north of the Oregon border, on Oct. 30.
An officer approached Lincecum's 2006 Mercedes and smelled marijuana as the pitcher rolled down his window. Schatzel said Lincecum immediately complied with a request to hand over the drug and a marijuana pipe from the car's center console.
The amount measured was 3.3 grams. Schatzel said police consider that a small amount for personal use, well below the maximum of 40 grams before possession is classified differently and carries a more severe penalty.
First of all…‘06 Mercedes? Timmy, it’s almost 2010. Tighten up that ride, nephew.
Second, I thought weed was virtually legal in Washington state. If it isn’t, it sure should be. Have you ever been to rural Washington state or even suburban Seattle? Me neither. That’s the point. There isn’t shit to do there except smoke up.
And c’mon. Is there anyone who really thinks Tim Lincecum isn’t getting stoned? Look at this dude. He’s a High Times centerfold for crissake. The cops probably thought he was a drug kingpin or something. Must have sucked to find out they were busting only the best right handed pitcher in baseball. (espn)
And, of course, the fellas who have to run into the bathroom to shower each other.
