10-game Suspension upheld

Today MLB upheld the 10 game suspension given to Michael Barrett. I figured they would let him off a few days, but I guess that they want people to know that you shouldn't just go punching guys in the face. The one good thing is that Michael has a strained back and now this will allow him to rest it up for the next 10 days and hopefully come back at 100%. Hopefully Henry Blanco can keep his hitting going over the next 10 days, but not holding my breathe, I figure if he bats .25o during that time it will be a bonus for the Cubs (not over Barrett, but just in general compared to Blanco's early season batting).
