\"Really?<\/a>

Really? Photo presumably Cleveland Police department via netnews5.com<\/p><\/div>\n

I thought this story was interesting.<\/p>\n

Indians closer\u00a0Chris Perez<\/strong> pled no-contest to a charge of mailing his dog 9 ounces of marijuana<\/a>. \u00a0That’s right; his DOG. \u00a0That was really clever; no way anyone was gonna figure that one out.<\/p>\n

His punishment? \u00a0A measly $250 and a year’s probation.<\/p>\n

I think you get fined more if you cheat the HOV lanes on the Dulles Toll Road.<\/p>\n

Frankly I think he should have gotten more punishment just for the stupidity of his actions.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, Perez makes $7.3 MILLION dollars<\/a> this year. \u00a07.3M. \u00a0You think maybe perhaps he could have just paid whoever mailed him his weed to just drive the stuff up to him, making that kind of coin?<\/p>\n

Now here’s a question: where’s Perez’s PED suspension?? \u00a0Marijuana is clearly stated as a “Drug of Abuse” in section 2.A of the Joint Drug Abuse agreement, whose language says that players shall be “prohibited from using, possessing …”\u00a0<\/i>the drug. \u00a0Clearly Perez was caught possessing a rather large amount of the drug; whether or not he ever tested positive for it isn’t he warranted a suspension? \u00a0Or could legally everyone just claim it was all his wife’s idea? \u00a0Maybe so, but it was Perez who pled it out and seemingly should face the music from\u00a0Bud Selig<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
