Former All-Star pitcher arrested for armed robbery

[UpTooLate]

 Link. He quit pitching ten years ago and had earned in the millions during his career. I suppose finding a job was beneath him.  Player Stats

I believe he was the all time saves leader until big Lee Smith passed him.

[David in Jackson]

He was, for at least a brief time.

I imagine we'll hear more about what the heck was going on him soon.  Weird story.

What kind of idiot robs a jewelry store at gunpoint and then goes to a public restaurant to eat?

This is a pretty good excuse, actually.  I've used it many times in the past.

Though not to explain away armed robbery.  Yet.

Just goes to show that one should always read the label:

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

-white patches on the tongue
-severe watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps
-urge to possess firearm during robbery
-four hour erection

"Reardon had a 20-year-old son who died of a drug overdose in February 2004, which "has been very difficult for him and his family," and has been on medication for depression. Reardon, who is married and has two other children, also underwent a heart angioplasty last week and has been taking medication for that."

"Reardon, who made more than $11.5 million in his career, according to baseball-reference.com, was not having financial problems."

Pretty sad story.

Hilarious.

My first thoughts when I read the story were that he did it to support a drug habit or remedy financial problems.  That seems to not be the case and makes this totally bizzare. I am curious if his status as a former big leaguer will help him or hurt him when the case goes to trial.

Being released on $5000 bail sounds like they don't think he's much of a flight risk, or a danger to the community.  I would guess they might allow him to plead guilty to a non-violent offense (felony theft), and he might get probation (as a first time offender).

I think Dana Plato did.

[Andyzipp]

She robbed a video store.  

On like a Tuesday.  Morning.  Cause that's when all the cash is in a video store.

She's a smooth smoothie, that one.

Maybe I just wouldn't make a very good armed robber.  Reminds me of that line in Shawshank Redemption when the young kid is bragging about doing time in all the "joints"

Andy:  Perhaps you should find another line of work.  What I mean is, you don't seem to be a very good thief.

eh... diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

[Andyzipp]

On the other hand, she did some soft-core porn.  Let's hope Jeff Reardon can pull himself out of that spiral.

[Batty Bob]

His sweet pooper could provide relief for many hard working criminals. (lame)

That's all I got.

Sorry.

"I did it 'cause of the drugs." Any ol' crack-head will tell you the same thing. I think it was the voices in his head. Or he listened to Judas Priest a lot in the late '70s early 80s. Maybe he was sexually abused as a child and is ashamed to admit it.

[Andyzipp]

Maybe he was sexually abused by Judas Priest in the 80's...

Noooooo....  Just watched too many soft core porn vids of Dana Plato getting sexually abused in the 80's (with a Judas Priest soundtrack).

One must be careful looking around on the internet for this stuff.  I just inadvertantly came across a  nude picture of  Lily Munster which may screw me up for some time, especially when I'm watching TV Land.

OTOH, now I'm beginning to see why Herman always walks around with that stupid grin on his face.

Lily.

There's a debate about this?  Lily (Yvonne DeCarlo) was smokin'.

I second the choices of Mary Ann and Lily.  Who's Rachel, season 3?

my votes:

1) Lily
2) MaryAnn (is this even debateable?!?)
3) My favorite pubescent fantasy: Too Close for Comfort hot chick  Lydia Cornell

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

Yvonne DeCarlo was a stone-cold fox in her day. I think I want to go out and find a copy of "Slave Girl." Caroline Jones was more of an earthy beat-nick type chick, who would be fun to party with but Yvonne was a real beauty. So my vote goes to Lilly. And Ginger.

Yvonne ran off with Johnny Fontaine just to make Mr. Waltz look ridiculous.

Well, after further review... I've never much been into goth chicks, but I have to say I'd give Ms. Munster a whirl.  I may not have -- in terms of size and structural rigidity -- whatever Herman has bolted on down there; but on the other hand, I'm not green, nor do I have a stupid looking flat-top.

(BTW, am I the only person who, when asked the burning question, 'Whatever happened to  Marilyn?', immediately thinks of  Mary Kay LeTourneau?)

Anyway, as far as '60s sit-com moms go,  Carol Brady wins going away, right?

I may have mentioned once before, I've had this ongoing fantasy since I was about nine, of me and Mrs. Brady and a bottle of Wesson Oil, and a tarp on the living room floor... and when we're done, Ms. Brady pours the oil off the tarp back into the bottle and says, 'Look!  We only used one tablespoon!'

But I digress...

My favorite pubescent fantasy:

Sally James from the ground-breaking TV show  TISWAS.

No.  Not even close.   Samantha Stevens was all that and a box of fig newtons.  Interestingly, I'm reminded of my pubescent fantasies of Ms. Montgomery every time I see  Reese Witherspoon

[Tralfaz]

Please, Joy from The Bagaloos had it all plus wings.

[lc_db]

ok...  not really a sit-com mom but I used to dream a lot of Jeannie.  
 Barbara Eden was just plain hot!!

...but would you believe....

I also had a thing for  Agent 99?  I bet she had some great gadgets.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

I would have killed for Juile Newmar. She played the robot chick in the short lived "My Living Doll..." The best Catwoman ever... Stupefyin'.....
