Craig Monroe Arrested for Stealing a $30 Belt
Detroit Tigers Outfielder/DH CRAIG MONROE makes $330,000 a year. So why the hell did he try to jack a $30 belt? How does that even enter your mind? It's not like he's a homeless person stealing a loaf of bread because he's starving. He's a professional athlete making $330,000 a year who tried to swipe a $30 belt. Was it worth it? I mean, he had to pay $500 bail and will have to go to trial now. If you make $330,000 you can afford to buy yourself a $30 belt. You might not be able to afford three houses or something, but I think you can pay for a $30 belt.

Monroe hit 18 HR and 72 RBI last season. 18 homeruns, especially in Comerica is pretty good. It's not like 2004 was the last big-league paycheck he's ever going to pull in. I just don't get it. $30 dude. That makes DENNY NEAGLE's deal look pretty good almost...Key word is "almost".
