Pudge to be suspended

[magus]

4 game suspension for arguing the other night on balls and strikes. He says he plans to appeal though. Anyone know how long these appeal processes usually last?

I also have Pudge..we are out of luck. He starts his suspension starting Monday, he will be out 4 days.

Make the appropriate moves.

I was at the game in Oakland where Pudge got tossed. Payton had just hit a grand slam to give the A's the lead. The next batter went a quick 2-0 count and Pudge said something to the umpire. The he got up and he was arguing with the umpire something good. I think he even bumped the umpire with the mask in his hand. Once he went in the dugout he tossed a bag of balls on to the field. If he did touch the umpire, he is lucky it is only 4 games. It was probably a pretty steep fine too.

I also hear he is going to drop his appeal and start his suspension on Monday.
