Garrido Apologizes, Gets Suspended

((HT: KEYE-TV))

University of Texas head baseball coach Augie Garrido ((mugshot courtesy, KEYE/APD)) apologized for his DWI arrest last week at a press conference with Texas AD Deloss Dodds. It was announced that Garrido would be suspended for the first four games of the 2009 baseball season as a result.

"I made a serious mistake," Garrido said Friday at a news conference with Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds. "I drank alcohol, I got behind the wheel of a car, and that's a bad decision."

For the record, those first four games of the season are a series against Illinois-Chicago in Austin.
We fully realize the loss of Garrido will shake college baseball to its very foundations for those four days. We cheer for the Flames during that weekend...

The coach immediately receives the "No Joke, Sherlock" Award for January.
Nolo contendere...
