They said two game suspension. Is he fighting it?
That was evil. A slide is on the ground and starts before the bag. I don't think he even touched the base.
He's appealed and they are supposed to rule on it before game time.

Did any of you hear about Canada being dissed in the playoffs (again)?
Gotta Hear It: American announcer says Canadians can’t catch - Sportsnet.ca
I wish we were allowed to have our usual announcers instead of these clowns. It is so very obvious they are routing for the Rangers. And they have the right to cheer for who they want. And being excited is also OK. But, we should have the announcers that route for us.
However, even one of Fox's announcers commented on how bad the umping was in Game Two.
Good! Utley did what all ballplayers do going into second to break up the double play. Name me other times this season where you've seen that same slide and it resulted in suspensionsLooks like Utley is eligible to play...at the moment at least....
Chase Utley of Los Angeles Dodgers unlikely to have appeal heard, making him eligible for Game 3

No I don’t teach my girls that slide. I have enough trouble teaching them to slide correctly. I’ve got two types of players, those who like to slide and those who are afraid to slide. I have seen too many injuries from those afraid to slide and doing it wrong, especially at home plate where our rules dictate a slide is mandatory for a close play at home. But several of my girls are a vicious bunch and would like nothing better than taking the fielder out and breaking up a double play... on their own and against coaches wishes (but they aren't professionals). And that slide is done to them on a regular basis by the other teams. (It seems to me girls appear to get more pleasure from taking out the opposing player then boys do for some reason.)ALL players begin their slide after reaching the bag and not before? Is that how you teach your girls to slide? You slide into the bag not onto the bag to break up the DP. Yes, I've seen others do that slide and get away with it, BUT it is still illegal. The differences this time is it was a playoff game and a player was seriously injured. The rule needs to be enforced, just like "the Neighborhood" rule at second needs to be.
You're familiar with the Posey Rule, I'm sure. That also changed the way a person can slide, maybe they need to have something similar done here.
I grew up rooting for the Cardinals, with their warrior pitcher Bob Gibson, the speedy and defiant Curt Flood, the savvy Tim McCarver, the genetically superior human of Lou Brock, and on and on.
So I still root for them by default. Couldn't care less about the Cubs, except... except... well, they're in the running, and I also enjoy rooting for the underdog, and if they won this year, it would almost be like the Red Sox could win.
Oh, wait.
I can see that.Now they're just a team, with nothing romantic to remark them.
The arrogance that Boston had going into that game ("This is OUR YEAR!") helped do them in, I think.But those old Cardinals teams . . . Bob Gibson, Lou Brock . . .
I was only six years old when those guys beat Jim Lonborg and Carl Yastrzemski . . . but I remember.
I heard it. It was a dopey thing to say especially since there have been so many injuries to fans of this sort lately. Do you have the games on the radio AnnaMarie? Try turning the sound on the TV off and listening to your Canadian broadcast of the game. Hopefully there isn't too much of a lag between the two.
Glad to see how The Mets got revenge.
I've been hoping all along for a final between The Jays and The Mets.
I was at my son's house. No tv. No Internet. Driving home I heard the bottom of the ninth inning in the Jays/Rangers game.
I would have liked to see the apology before the game. (If anyone knows where it is online I would like a link.) I also would have liked to see the Mets game. I heard the crowd was really loud.
