Brandon Laird arrested in Phoenix
ByVia Marc Carig, Yanks’ prospect Brandon Laird was arrested (along with his brother, Tigers’ catcher Gerald Laird) at U.S. Airways Arena in Phoenix following last night’s Suns-Celtics game. Gerald was cited with assaulting a security guard, Brandon with disorderly conduct following a brawl in the lounge area of the arena. A third person was also arrested.
Laird is (at least) the fourth Yankee farmhand to get in trouble for beatin’ someone down within the last three years, joining George Kontos, Austin Krum, and J.B. Cox. Hey, at least they aren’t stealing laptops from schools.

F#@&ING EAST COUNTY!!
True, down-home country boys
His brother was arrested for assualt not him.
Disorderly conduct charges frequently go nowhere. Gerald might have some issues, but I wouldn’t worry about Brandon too much.
Hey, at least they aren’t stealing laptops from schools.
Who are you talking about, Mike?
What sort of idiots would pick fight with a major league catcher and a minor league slugger?
Being an athlete doesn’t make you tough.
nope, but ballplayers tend to have quick hands, no?
