IMO the real joke is how long it took for this to get settled.

Yeah, no doubt he's been playing for a month since he was suspended. To boot he's also a starting pitcher so it's really like a 4 or 5 game suspension. Thats where MLB is a total joke, just keep appealing your suspension until you get a run of push over opponents and than withdraw your appeal. There should be no appealing of suspensions period. I mean say Ortiz gets a 4 game suspension and the Sox have to play the Yankees that weekend, and than have a 4 game set against the Royals after that. All they do is announce they'll appeal the suspension, the hearing is scheduled two weeks down the road. Ortiz plays the series and than withdraws the appeal, and than sits out when his team doesn't really need him. It's just stupid.
