I didn't read into each situation too closely, but:

1. El Duque hit one Blue Jay after they hit two Yankees... not sure if that is exactly it, but if it is, he should hit the Blue Jay. I watched it and he hardly hit Delgado.

2. Torii Hunter. Yeah! You throw the ball at me, I am gonna throw it back at you. I like it.

I don't see what is so bad about retaliation. As long as you don't take a guy's head off, then the MLB office should stop throwing around fines and suspensions. Makes it seem like MLB is trying to get some extra money off its players.

That Tori Hunter throw was good though, an eye for an eye.

MLB does throw fines around as if they are nothing. This isnt the NBA where the players actually need this sort of discipline.

The Hunter incident, however, I felt deserved the suspension. If a player actually thinks he can pick up a baseball and chuck it at whoever he wants, he deserves to sit out for awhile.

Well, he didn't chuck it at whoever he wanted, he chucked it at the guy who chucked it at him. Otherwise, I agree with you.
