Major Leaguer Pleads Guilty to Major Drinking

Scott SpiezioScott Spiezio got three years probation after pleading guilty to hit and run and DUI from a December 30 incident in which he drove through a fence and threw up on a friend's rug. Nice.

Spiezio -- who just last week signed with the Atlanta Braves -- also has to pay $1495.50 in fines, undergo a three-month alcohol program, attend two AA meetings and perform 80 hours of community service.

All other charges against Spiezio -- which included aggravated assault, battery and assault -- were dropped. No word on whether he replaced his friend's rug.

8. It is quite obvious that there are illiterates writing the postings. How is it possible for anyone over the age of 10 not to know the difference between "Through" and "Threw." Scott did not drive threw a fence. He drove through a fence. Get you act together Harvey... postings should be spell checked by your supposed editing staff.

Howard-

Please don't post a post on the virtues of illiterates writing posts when you have an error in your own post, "Get you act together Harvey... " should be "Get YOUR act together Harvey... "

Sorry!!!

11. I can't believe a publication such as this allows so many spelling errors to go THROUGH. That red thingy on his chin is fugly.

12. I'm surprised they dropped the agg assault charge. His friend probably did not want to press charges. Hopefully, he will stay clean and not get arrested for anything else.
