henry wiggins Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The Score says that Brian Anderson's 5-game suspension starts tonight. That means his appeal was denied? I don't see anything on the Sox or MLB sites about it. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxLifer Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 That sucks. Just when his average was within shouting distance of his weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 It takes the MLB too long to go through this appeal process, get with it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry wiggins Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) He just dropped his appeal. Well, I'm bummed -- I am going to the game on Saturday and was looking forward to seeing him; I was sure he'd still have his hitting streak going. I'm serious, damnit!

Flash Tizzle Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Far as timing, it couldn't have been more appropriate. Need something to deflect attention (even a little) off of Guillen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Interesting that he picked against STL and HOU to drop the appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 You don't want to be short a man when playing games in National League ballparks, you need as deep a bench as possible, plus you're going to want your best defense out there. This is absolutely perfect timing and it really makes me think that they've been planning to do this all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gojimthome Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) Interesting that he picked against STL and HOU to drop the appeal. His suspension comes with four of the games being against righties. That'd be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not why at all. That would be like reason number 10 of why they would drop the appeal. The guy has been playing against righties of late (though they have hit a streak of all lefties) and for his career he is much better against righties. Funny how the 5 game suspension will begin to be served 5 games before we go to NL parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 06:57 PM) I'm glad he will be back for the Cubs-Sox series too. Id like to see him beat down Mabry again. LOLZERS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry wiggins Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 From the Sox website-- While Anderson wouldn't reveal his immediate whereabouts for Wednesday, he did rule out the pressbox, adding with a wry smile that he doesn't sit with "the enemy." I like the kid's style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely positive you are correct in your thoughts that the Sox don't want to be short in NL parks, and that's the reason is appeal was dropped.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Also, Mackowiak was 10-24 going into to tonight's game against whats his face that pitched horribly for the Cards tonight, that could have factored into the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Who knows....maybe his back is sore after getting beaned and instead of sitting out with a sore back they decided to use up his suspension.

"It seems like the appropriate timing," said Anderson as to why he dropped the appeal.

If that is why he's serving his suspension then Ozzie is even dumber than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
