Who's sorry now, Cliff Lee?

Mariners pitcher Cliff Lee has been suspended for the first five games of the regular season and fined an undisclosed amount for throwing a pitch over the head of Chris Snyder earlier this week.

I'm sure his macho BS was well worth the price. Lee, naturally is appealing against this heinous miscarriage of justice... Personally, and despite what most Seattle fans think, I reckon it's exactly what should happen. Head-hunting is never acceptable - if he'd hit Snyder would it have caused less damage because it was spring training? Of course not.

Spring training is serious business

I have to say

While I don’t really argue with Lee getting suspended, it’s pretty inconsistent of MLB to let Cain waltz off after plunking Fielder, and suspend Lee for throwing at Snyder.

Intent?

Cain's was apparently intentional

It was apparently retaliation for something that happened last season.

I think so

Nah.

Cain was just upset because God preferred Fielder’s sacrifice.

Zito

D’oh!

Well, if they aren’t ZOMG! Sanchez or Timmeh, all Giants pitchers pretty much blur together to me.

For ZOMGZ Sanchez being mentioned still. Love it.

Fielder

needs to get plunked more often.

Somehow I doubt he is a vegetarian as he claims. Then again a lot of junk food is vegetarian.

Nice strikeout!

Throwing at the head

Is not the same as throwing at a large, flabby back.

by SenSurround on Mar 18, 2010 1:22 PM EDT up reply actions

I wouldn't argue with that

And I’m not saying Cain deserves a five game suspension, but he hit a dude for a grudge he’s apparently been nursing since September. You’d think there should at least be a fine for that.

Yeah, I agree

That’s not exactly equal treatment..

Wow

5 games in the regular season! That has a bit more bite to it.

Thats just one start.

Nice strikeout!

Still

Regular season means he’s actually losing money.

And now, adding injury to insult...

Cliff Lee has a right lower abdominal strain and was treated in Seattle today by team doctor Edward Khalfayan… Lee underwent ultra-sound and was given platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection. He’ll be re-evaluated in seven days… Lee believes he suffered abdominal strain during collision with Arizona’s Chris Snyder in Tucson last Monday.
