Frank the Tank 35 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Nationals GM Jim Bowden was arrested on Sunday night in Miami Beach and charged with DUI. The joke possibilities are tremendous, but drinking and driving, if that's in fact what Bowden did, is hardly a laughing matter. The chances of him holding on to his job when new ownership takes over certainly diminish with the news. "I intend to plead not guilty at a future date in a Miami Dade court," Bowden said in a statement. "I deeply regret any embarrassment that my arrest may cause the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball." Apr. 18 - 1:36 pm et -rotoworld As if the Nats needed something else to worry about...

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) This explains a lot. Bowden could have drank all the vodka in Russia and it still wouldn't begin to explain everything about him. What an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The Nationals uniforms sort of do remind me of an Old Style can or the lettering of a Stroh's can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 He might have been impaired when he made the deal for Soriano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Bowden is still living off of the reputation he got as a great GM the year that the Reds won 96 games and missed the playoffs because of a one game playoff. It all has been pretty much downhill for him since that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakes Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Don't judge so fast. I got charged with a dui after having 5 beers in 3 hours. I beat it, but so may he. Until I did though, everyone looked at me like I had 9 heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. 2 beers isn't going to hurt any average adult male. That's alcohol in the body, and I don't look down upon my dad when he does it.
