Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera hasn’t exactly been making a model citizen of himself lately. First he went and got himself royally sloshed right before a key game when his team was making a play for the American League Central title. Smooth move. I can barely sit on a couch and watch the latest flick to hit  HBO while hungover; baseball games are out of the question.

Earlier this year, while drunk, Cabrera ended up getting into a bit of a spat with a bar patron. He was a bit too honest and told the man he was “overweight and needed to work out.” Someone quick get a verbal filter for this guy! However, lucky for Cabrera, no charges were filed over the conversational faux pas.

Now for the latest. Cabrera was, you guessed it, drunk again. Really, someone take the liquor out of his hands before he embarrasses himself. It’s gonna happen. This time Cabrera wandered home drunk at 5:00 in the morning. His wife didn’t take to that very kindly and the inevitable row ensued, resulting in both combatants having minor injuries and a few household items damaged.

The 26-year-old Venezuelan first baseman was taken to a police station Saturday after arriving at his suburban Detroit home at 5 a.m. and getting into a fight with his wife, Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson said.

…Patterson said Rosangel Cabrera called 911 at 6 a.m. Saturday, requesting police assistance.

According to a police report, Miguel Cabrera “suffered an injury to the left side of his face” and his wife “suffered an injury to her lower lip.” Miguel Cabrera’s gold neck chain was broken and a cell phone was damaged.

His wife “was upset when Miguel came home intoxicated, woke up their child and was talking on the phone,” the report says.

Rosangel Cabrera asked that her husband leave the house, so officers took him to the police station, Patterson said. Cabrera was administered a breath test by police and registered a 0.26 blood-alcohol reading, the chief said. The legal limit for Michigan drivers is 0.08.

“Mr. Cabrera was very uncooperative and highly intoxicated,” the police report says.
