Title: Wiggy Suspended Three Games

Per The Sun:

QUOTE
Ty Wigginton will receive a three-game suspension for his actions Thursday night in the Orioles' 5-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Wigginton will appeal the suspension, allowing him to play tonight against the Twins. He's batting third in the lineup and will play first base.

On Thursday, Wigginton ran screaming at first base umpire Gary Darling over a blown call at first and was face-to-face, chest-to-chest before Orioles manager Juan Samuel could intervene.

The official announcement of Wigginton's suspension should come at 5:30. He will also be fined. The Orioles expect Samuel, who was also ejected last night, to be fined but not suspended.


I wish he didn't appeal it. Should he get dealt (which is likely), get the suspension out of the way before he joins his new team.

Not that you should go around bumping umpires, but how screwed up is it that being right isn't actually grounds for appeal?
