Suspensions from The Brawl

Coco Crisp was suspended for seven games. Jon Lester got five games. The surprise was that Sean Casey received three games. Not sure why he got three. I am sure we will find out why eventually.

Shields (the pitcher) got 6 games, Jonny Gomes and pitcher Edwin Jackson got 5 games apiece. Carl Crawford got 4 and Akinori Iwamura (who took the hard slide from Coco the night before)got 3.

Apparently the fight in the dugout was about Youkilis's reactions to bad atbats. Apparently the team doesn't like his throwing of bats and helmets after bad atbats especially when the team is doing well and is in first place. It makes him look selfish. The team has reportedly spoke to him about this before during a team meeting.


I don't know why Gomes didn't get the most games. He was throwing legit PUNCHES. he was an escalator in the situation. I am not happy about that. Sure he can get less than Coco but he is also a repeat offender.
