Well, the suspension starts at 8 games, now for the appeal. From the report I saw, nobody has ever served more than 8 games for getting caught with cork.

The appeal guarantees that MLB won't lose any revenue from the Cubs lucrative upcoming interleague series with the Yankees... after that, who cares? There's no teeth in this penalty at all.

It is the exact penalty as others have gotten, and the appeals process is exactly the same. Why should this case be different?

Exactly, just because he's a superstar, doesn't mean that they should be harder on him...

I thought Gurrerro and Belle got 10, but each were reduced from there.

The appeals process is a joke.
