FORMER PADRE NO. 1 PICK ARRESTED ON 7 FELONY COUNTS AFTER DUI HIT AND RUN OF MOTORCYCLIST

One thing we can all say with pride about San Diego Sports, is when we pick a dud, we go BIG. Former No. 1 pick Pitcher Matt Bush, who never played one Major League Game, was arrested for his 3rd DUI yesterday (after being involved in 3 accidents in the same day) when he smashed his car into a motorcyclist, who was so badly injured he remains in a coma.

Apparently, Mr. Bush is "Penniless" and only is worth approximately $2,000 dollars after the Padres paid him millions of guaranteed dollars-so do not expect a major civil suit for damages when his victims wakes up from his coma. Bush, who has had several run-ins with the police, often filmed while crying hysterically like a little girl with a skinned knee is obviously unstable and needs serious psychological attention. No wonder a San Diego sports franchise picked him No. 1...he fits the profile.

Bush's Lawyer petitioned the court to have his client enter rehab instead of jail. However the rumor was you could hear the Judge actually laughing in the courthouse lobby as that motion was flatly denied.

This final episode of the "Big Time Sports Prospect Shits the Bed in San Diego" begs the questions: who picks theses losers to represent our city?

Even our beloved sports figures turn out to have serious problems behind closed doors as evidenced by the recent suicide of former Charger Junior Seau.

Who knows, maybe all things considered "Cryin" Ryan Leaf maybe got a bad rap. On second thought...
