Do you think the 5 game suspension is fair for Lee and Young since Young is a pitcher?

Yes, Young should miss probably 2 starts though. 5 starts is too long. A position player can be back in a week. If you suspend a pitcher for that long he would be out for almost a month. That's not really fair either.

And Soriano is the one to blame. He showed up the Braves too on that day he hit 3 homers. If he didn't showboat so much this wouldn't happen. He should be the one getting hit though. I think retaliation against other players other than the instigator is wrong.

**** you, Cubs fans. Yeah, nice player you got there. Oh, look...The Cubs suck. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I respect the nice Cubbie fans but the one's who are crybabies, I couldn't care less. Lee should have took it like a man and then kicked Soriano's butt. He started the whole thing. It's fine to be happy but what he does is just over the top ridiculous. He isn't even that good.

Why would he miss 5 starts? That would be 1/7th of his season (pitchers normally average 32-37 starts in a whole season), while Lee's 5 games will only be 1/34th of the season for him. 1 start is totally fair.

I think young should miss 5 starts because it would be just as big of a loss to the Padres as it is to the Cubs .Lee is a vital team leader and without him the cubs have a small chance to succeed. Now both teams would be punished for their players actions

I have thought about that myself. Young is out for 5 games, but definitely would have played in only one of those. Lee, on the other hand, likely would have played in all 5 games. Doesn't seem quite fair to me.

Yes I think it is fair since it was Lee that started the fight.

Not fair... Lee should get more he started the fight by throwing the first punch should have just walked to first like most men do...

yep,lee should've never even tried to talk to young in the first place.the suspension's a little rough since neither of them were hit by a punch.three games would've been better.

Sadly yes, it is fair, and besides it's not like players actually hurt there clubs with suspensions, it's like they can take the suspension anytime they want, example is Berkman who appealed his until his teammates got healthy enough to take it.

Hell Roberto Alamar spit on an umpire during the playoffs and didn't have to miss a game until the next season, wtf?

Yes its fair

Doesn't matter who started the fight or ended the fight...both of them threw punches CLEARLY KNOWING suspensions would come for such actions

i think it is
