Well, the suspensions for the Red Sox are in and I certainly don't agree with the release. Coco Crisp recieved a deserved 7 games for charging the mound but what I don't understand is the five game (or one start) suspension of Jon Lester. Lester had no hand in the brawl and he didn't throw at anyone. He hit two batters, one in the back on a curveball (clearly not intentional) and another he hit in the foot with a changeup (once again not intentional). Makes no sense and I don't agree with it. The third and final suspension issued to the Red Sox was to Sean Casey who will recieve three games. One can only assume it was because he was the first Red Sox out of the dugout and was pulling guys off but a very leniant three games issued to Casey.


My predictions:

Gomes: 7 games
Crawford: 5 games
Shields: 5 games
Iwamura: 3 games (I'd give you 5 if you didn't hit like a girl)
Navarro won't get any games, if anything the only thing he should get is a Thank You card from Coco Crisp's family for protecting him.

I wasn't too far off with my predictions but I was a whole player off:

James Shields: 6 games (might as well be five, it's only one start)

Jonny Gomes: 5 games (should have been the same as Coco for those haymakers with blatant intent to cause injury)

Edwin Jackson: 5 games (don't know what you did but it must have been bad if you got the same as free swingin' Gomes over there)

Carl Crawford: 4 games (I would have went for five on him but that's just me, we'll compensate the extra game with a fastball in the letters)

Akinori Iwamura: 3 games (hit the gym pal and maybe next time you can get a 5 game suspension like the big boys)

Enjoy the game tonight guys!
