Berkman Suspended Two Games

It's official:

A previous article indicated that Watson may have been ignoring the fact that he came back on the field during the Lee HBP fracass. It seems like standard practice to appeal, but being that we're facing a lefty tonight, maybe he'll just accept it and sit out tonight and tomorrow. I can't see him winning any appeal.

wish he would have sat out tonight

not like he helped any especially after he got ejected for the 2nd time in 4 games.

The only way I could see him winning

on appeal is to argue the fact that he shouldn't have really been ejected in the first place (if that played any part in his suspension). But since it's been widely accepted that he was suspended for a) throwing his stuff on the field and b) running out during the HBP bench-clearing I doubt he could appeal anything. Also not helping the fact? His continuing bad behavior.

I'm glad

...someone has the balls to say "this is bullshit!" when it is. No, I don't want him to make a habit of it, but sometimes you just have to make a statement.
