Should Ryan Dempster have been suspended?

ryan dempster Should Ryan Dempster have been suspended?Ryan Dempster was suspended for five games and fined $2,500 by Major League Baseball on Tuesday for intentionally hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch last weekend.  But should he have been?

Even though Dempster is still claiming he was only trying to establish the inside part of the plate and wasn’t trying to hit Rodriguez, he will not contest the punishment and began serving it Tuesday.

Is a mans HONOR not worth anything these days?  Can a man not express that HONOR with a friendly pitch?  For a league that was so ready to write A-Rod off, they were just as quick to come to his rescue.  Has Bud Selig and the entire MLB finally grown a backbone, maybe even a little spine?

Even though I am amongst the masses, I am still having a problem with how Ryan Dempster showed that HONOR.

And if this statement doesn’t read guilty, I am NOT sure what does:

”I thought about appealing,” Dempster said before Boston played the Giants. ”At the end of the day, I think Major League Baseball does a really good job of thinking through punishments before they hand them out. I thought it was in the best interest of us as a team to go ahead and serve my suspension.”

Dempster was scheduled to pitch Saturday in LA, but now this will be pushed back to next Tuesday

Was this punishment deserved??  YES.  Will we see more of this through out the season?  YES.  Should A-Rod be banned for life?  YES.  With that said, I am glad Bud Selig and the MLB did a great job in setting an example on what will happen if more pitchers should their HONOR in the same way.
