Beckett Suspended!

Even though he didn't actually even get thrown out of the game at the time, the Lords of Baseball have reviewed Josh Beckett's conduct on Sunday and suspended him for six games. Angry at a late time-out call granted by the home plate ump, Beckett whizzed a fastball near the head of Bobby Abreu, then committed "aggressive actions" as the entire Angels roster poured onto the field. Beckett was also fined an undisclosed amount. After the loss on Sunday, Josh said, "I've never hit anybody in the head, and it's not really on my list of stuff to accomplish." We'd like to see that list. He's got some time to work on it, it seems.

UPDATE! Ray Allen was suspended for tonight's game in Philly, too, for elbowing Anderson Varejao in an uncomfortable place on Sunday. Well, at least this solves the problem of whether Doc should rest anyone. Else.
