After Alfonso Soriano hit and then watched a ball hit the wall before running, Francisley Bueno threw at Soriano's head during his next at-bat. The ball hit Soriano's helmet, and Bueno was ejected (appropriately). Now, Major League Baseball has suspended him for three games. Apparently, Bueno thinks he has been mistreated because he is appealing. What is he appealing? One at-bat after he shows up your team/makes an a$$ of himself, you suddenly lose your grip on a fastball directly towards his head? I doubt it, and he won't win his appeal. I agree with throwing at Soriano, but at his head? That was dumb and inexcusable. Plunk him in the back if you're going to do it. He gets the message without brain damage.
To top it all off, Bueno was sent down before the game Thursday to make room for Tom Glavine. Therefore, Bueno has to sit out three games when he returns in September. The game was also Bueno's major league debut. Well done. Well done.
