The Suspensions

[love_that_reefer]

MLB suspended Michael Barrett 10 games for punching A.J. Pierzynski last week.
Unless appealed, the suspension is expected to begin Friday, which means Cubs fans have way too much Henry Blanco in their futures.

MLB suspended Brian Anderson five games for his role in Saturday's bench-clearing incident with the Cubs.
Michael Barrett, who started things by punching A.J. Pierzynski, was suspended for 10 games. Anderson had been losing at-bats to Rob Mackowiak anyway, so the White Sox will simply turn to Mackowiak for the rest of the month.

he appealed the suspension so we get some time before the blanco stuff happens.

Fining A.J. $2,000 was absolutely ridiculous.

AJ deserved nothing, but the money is so small it's probably irrelevant to him.

Barrett's is fair, and I'd say Anderson's is fair.

A.J. wass on ESPN radio today. He is appealing the fine. Said he didn't understand it. The fine was for raing his arms as he was returnign to the dugout and they said it was "inciting the crowd". Whatever. Total bullshit.

Barrett's supsension in my opinion isn't enough. That was a chicken shit cheap shot. There is no place in this game for that kind of crap.

Barrett got off easier than I thought he would. Maybe the White Sox spoke on his behalf so they can bean him when they play again.

10 games? thatd be equal to 5 games in the NBA and 1 week in the NFL. hell in the NHL, he may have gotten a raise.
