suicide threat ≠ suicide attempt

He is cracking under the pressure of the DUI manslaughter charge.

Why did I think it meant Jim Leyland?

Can they call in a pinch hitter to try the suicide correctly?

Huh, his Wikipedia entry hasn't been updated yet.

Speaking as a Braves fan who lost a World Series because of that 'roided cheater - BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

Terrible use of the img1.fark.net tag. Wasn't killing a woman enough of a wake up call for this guy that he's an alcoholic and needs to quit drinking? The only sad thing about this case is that the woman died and he didn't.

No shiat, my first thought was that it was about 15 years too late.

Stay classy, braves fan. And yeah, he sucks. I hope some positive thing comes out of all this. Don't ask me what it could be.

I can't stand NY Post links. I didn't notice that was a two page article and I didn't know that the victim was drunk as well. That still doesn't excuse his actions, and considering he ran into her, I still fail to feel sorry for him. The guy is an alcoholic and he killed somebody. If that wasn't enough of a wake up call, then nothing will be.

SHE IS DRUNK, SHE IS HIGH, SHE IS... GONE! Jimmy Leyritz blasts one out of the right lane! He's putting on the Leyritz! And the Yankees lead, 2-0!

/stop it, john

Him being gang raped in the showers is a positive conclusion to leyritz's fate for braves fans.

I have zero compassion for him, farking scum

Somewhere Mark Wohlers is saying schucks.

I don't with him dead, but I wish I could travel back in time and make sure he had no knees before that game...that or tell Mark Wohlers just to throw the F'ing ball by him and not hang a g'damn slider.

They win that game, they have four rings...same goes for game seven against Minnesota...They just always expected to lose in the back of their mind.

Cleveland was just that much more pathetic.

Not to belabor the point of who was more drunk than whom, but TFA says his BAC was .14 "several hours" after the accident, and I'm guessing that means it was well above .18 at the time of the accident.

If he was even half decent the braves would have 3-4 rings, justice hit like .200 in the WS, dont judge him for one hr
