Werth leaving CBP, circa 2010

Jayson Werth – former WFC, current Nationals outfielder, known dickbag – was sentenced to 10 days in jail stemming from a reckless driving charge back in August. From SI.com:

Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth has been found guilty by a judge for reckless driving and has been sentenced to 10 days in jail with 170 days suspended, according to Julie Carey of NBC Washington.

Werth was pulled over in Fairfax County in Virginia in July for going 105 mph in a 55-mph zone and faced a misdemeanor reckless driving charge. The incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

Carey reports that Werth will likely serve five of the 10 days of his jail sentence. His sentence also includes a six-month suspension of his driver’s license

This is it. Mark it down. It’s the first major news of a 2008 WFC-er being a danger to himself or society in general. If the 93 Phils have taught us anything, it’s that our once-favorite baseball players become lunatics, scoundrels, thieves or creationists. Thus begins the 2008 squad’s fall from grace. Next we’re going to learn that Chooch operates a Panamanian drug cartel in the offseason, that Pedro Feliz was picked up for Pee-wee Herman-ing in a Camden movie theater, that Geoff Jenkins killed six people, or that Pat Burrelled your girl… he totally Burrelled your girl.

Werth’s attorney tells the Washington Post that he won’t appeal the conviction.
