Josh Beckett has been suspended six games by Major League Baseball for intentionally throwing at Bobby Abreu.  That will probably be appealed and served much later in the year.  Look for Beckett to probably only miss one start.

The anger started when Abreu was batting, called timeout, which the umpire granted, and stepped back in to see the Beckett fastball coming right for his head.

The Angels, fighting emotions over the passing of Nick Adenhart, reacted strongly as the benches emptied Sunday.  Hitting Coach Mickey Hatcher was also suspended for one game and Torii Hunter and Mike Scioscia were fined for their actions in the chaos.
