(Utley) Hey wait a minute, Manfred and Torre... It either is a takeout play or dirty...

You're suspending Chase Utley two games for that?

For a classic takeout slide?  A move that, though clearly a dick move, has been legal in Major League Baseball (and an effective "unwritten rule" for decades!) for decades...

Heck, we know that the Mets protested the game...  If you're (Joe Torre, now the chief baseball officer of MLB) going to deem this a suspension offense, then why not reconsider the protest and order a replay from the point of the play, awarding the out for the neighborhood and an out for interference?
