April 19, 201115 yr The inquiring minds at WIKIPEDIA are already on it: Macy's shoplifting Incident On Monday, April 18, Leake was arrested by the Cincinnati Police for allegedly shoplifting six American Rag T-shirts worth $59.88 from the Macy's store in downtown Cincinnati. He was charged with theft, a misdemeanor in the State of Ohio that carries a maximum sentence of 180 days in jail if convicted. Leake has no known prior convictions. He is the first member of Major League Baseball to be arrested for shoplifting since umpire Bob Engel was caught stealing baseball cards from a Target store in 1990. Leake makes $425,000 in his second season in the majors.
April 19, 201115 yr He had $250 in cash on him as well as 3 Credit Cards. He didn't want to eat up any of his card playin' money.
April 19, 201115 yr So, any idea if he's pitching Thursday? Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Leake go to Louisville, and the Reds give the D-Train a shot.
April 20, 201115 yr Look, would I like for a pitcher of my favorite team to be standup guy, I really would. But considering it's MLB, just get guys out.

April 20, 201115 yr Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Leake go to Louisville, and the Reds give the D-Train a shot. Sorry, but I would rather have the thief on the mound at GABP.
April 20, 201115 yr Sorry, but I would rather have the thief on the mound at GABP. No reason to be sorry, and I didn't say I wanted Leake sent down. I just said I wouldn't have been surprised.
April 20, 201115 yr Leake is now trying to say he bought items previously from there and he was just exchanging them and he didn't know that he needed an employee to make the change for him. I think I agree with Lance McAlister and that might be worse than if he were just stealing them.
April 20, 201115 yr ^ I don't know why he's trying to shake this off. You got caught stealing...man up to it Mike. If he thinks people are stupid enough to believe that, he's even more stupid than I thought he was.

If he thinks people are stupid enough to believe that, he's even more stupid than I thought he was. What if he really did buy them a few days earlier? Who's stupid then? MAcy's said they would review the tape to see if he did in fact walk in to the store with the items.
April 20, 201115 yr What if he really did buy them a few days earlier? Who's stupid then? MAcy's said they would review the tape to see if he did in fact walk in to the store with the items. He is still stupid for thinking he can exchange them without an employee. :lol: Why wouldn't he ask someone to remove the security tags if he wasn't trying to steal them?
April 20, 201115 yr He is still stupid for thinking he can exchange them without an employee. :lol: Why wouldn't he ask someone to remove the security tags if he wasn't trying to steal them? Exactly. I'm guessing he's bought things from stores in the past and even made an exchange or two.
