SCOTT OLSEN WILL RESIST ARREST AND PITCH A FEW DAYS LATER

Apparently the Florida Marlins have no qualms about pitcher Scott Olsen kicking police officers, getting stun-gunned, driving drunk, and getting arrested this past Saturday, because Olsen will start tonight against the Diamondbacks and remain in the rotation for the rest of the season. This is the same Scott Olsen who was suspended by the team for getting into it with teammate Sergio Mitre earlier this month, and fined for making obscene gestures to fans in Milwaukee, also earlier this month. Sure seems like a swell guy.

Now don't get us wrong: we are all for the whole innocent-until-proven-guilty thing, and allowing the law run it's course; we just don't think "due process" applies here, and the Marlins should sack him for a few starts. You know, he did try to beat up a couple of cops only four days ago, after all.
