Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera -- under fire for a weekend of bad baseball and what police describe as heavy drinking at Birmingham's Townsend Hotel and a scuffle with his wife -- now has to answer for a second bizarre incident at the Townsend. A police report released late Monday quotes witnesses as saying an erratic Cabrera taunted an overweight, 15-year-old boy at the hotel in late August and had to be escorted out. One witness said Cabrera "acted as if he was on some drug" during the outburst; witnesses said the confrontation grew so heated that he challenged the teen's table to a fight outside and implied he had a gun there.

A true quality human being. Miguel, are you going to kick some puppies on your way to the Metrodome today?

October 6, 2009  06:42 AM ET

This is something baseball needs more of... taunting of fat kids. (sarcasm intended)

What a special guy that Cabrera is.

October 6, 2009  07:31 AM ET

Wow....heavy drinking, taunting fat kids, fighting with your wife/girlfriend? Way to prepare yourself for the stretch run Cabrera.

I was going to say the same thing. This is a guy that most people thought ate his way off of third base. The guy is just an all around ****. Thank God I'm not a Tigers fan.

Co-sign. This is like Ellen DeGeneres taunting a teenager for being a lesbian.

Just thinking how MLB could use this as a PSA for youth baseball...

That was some weekend at the Townsend. I'm sure they're drooling over the thought of having him back.

"Hello? I would liy to may a reserbation, please."
"Your name?"
"Miguel Cabrera."
"Sorry, we're closed."
"I will keel joo, gordita!!!"

Son, take a look outside your door. Portsmouth is not exactly known for it's genteel society.

I'm thinking that when Miguel was a little boy the back of his jeans had a "husky" tag..............
