Cabrera's Collapse

See related article

Right on Tony. Sounds like you were taught right from wrong at an early stage. There can be no excuses for his poor choices. He let his team down and much less all of the thousands of loyal fans that stayed with them through this season-long rollercoaster ride. Leyland and Dombrowski are to blame as well. They knew the score but didn't act. I wonder what all of the reserve players thought when Cabrera (with an .08 blood alcohol level) was inserted into the starting lineup. They did Cabrera no favor by letting it slide when they did. My respect for both has been diminished. What a major let down. On a brighter note, keep up the good work.
