Default Lee tagged with five-game suspension

Quote:
CHICAGO -- Major League Baseball suspended both Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee and San Diego pitcher Chris Young five games for their actions in Saturday's scuffle at Wrigley Field.

Both also were fined undisclosed amounts for their conduct during the incident. The announcement was made Monday by Bob Watson, vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball.

A Cubs spokesperson said Lee was appealing the penalty.

Not good for us, not good at all. Although I must admit the fight was kind of funny to watch.

Lee's attempted punch on Young didn't even connect at all! He had a pretty big target considering Young is 6 foot 10.

It always sucks for the team with the suspended batter because the pitcher truely only misses 1 game, and the batter misses 5.
