:angry: What an a-hole!! If the Mets ever let this guy play again, I'll really lose a lot of respect for them. I got this in an email from a friend, so I don't have the source.

PORT ST. LUCIE — A New York Mets outfielder who was involved in a March fracas outside a pizza parlor was arrested Tuesday on a DUI charge, according to an arrest report.

Michael Shane Spencer, 32, reportedly told a Florida Highway Patrol trooper he’d had a "few" after stopping at the St. Lucie West Boulevard off ramp when asked whether he’d had any alcohol to drink.

"I asked how many was a few," the report states. "He said six or seven."

The exchange happened about 3:20 a.m. after Spencer reportedly was driving 98 mph — 28 mph over the limit — south on Interstate 95 in a white Volvo.

This kind of crap happens to lot of people. He still is a decent outfielder who can swing the bat very well.

I heard he'll be released when he gets off the DL.

This is the 2nd time this year he's embarrassed the organization. I love watching him play, but they cannot allow this to continue.

Shane Spencer cleared waivers and was given his release after coming to a financial settlement with the club.
