Saved By the Blog - Est. 2004

On Monday it was J.J. Redick, yesterday it was Esteban Loaiza, and today, it's Devil Rays top prospect B.J. Upton getting slapped with a DUI.  He was arrested in North Carolina early this morning for going 51 MPH (69 MPH slower than Loaiza) in a 30 MPH zone and blew a .11, the same as Redick.

So what have we learned from this week of drunken craziness?  Well, first off, don't drive drunk.  And if you're going to, don't do it in, or around, Durham, North Carolina.  They don't take too kindly to that, just ask Redick and Upton.  Second, if you are gonna get pulled for a DUI, do it in style by going 120 in your Ferrari like Loaiza.  Last, Redick drinks Zima and fuzzy navel wine coolers.  Okay, I can't prove that, but it's a pretty sound theory, I think.

RELATED: In case you forgot (which I'm sure you haven't), Upton isn't the first Devil Ray prospect to get into a bit of trouble this season.  Delmon had that nasty little bat toss incident.

  A .11 is only cool if you've also been smoking crack all night.
