Talk:A double standard?/@comment-56870-20060410135300

I&quot;m a Mets fan, and I don&quot;t really agree with how things turned out, but it&quot;s not a travesty. You&quot;re also slightly factually incorrect -- the warning came down when Pedro hit Guillen the second time. That said, Duaner Sanchez plunked someone. I&quot;m not sure who it was, but there was a plunking to be had. No one argued when Sanchez wasn&quot;t ejected, because it is likely that the HBP was unintentional. The ump has discretion to decide whether to eject, and decided that given that it was likely an accident, no need to eject. When Felix hit Paul, the ump oddly thought it was intentional, and out came the hooks. The suspensions follow from that, basically per rule. I agree, though, that they shouldn&quot;t have been ejected; it&quot;s clear that Rodriguez did nothing worse than Sanchez. Where I disagree with you? The problem isn&quot;t that the Mets weren&quot;t ejected -- it&quot;s that the Nats were. Had they not been, there&quot;s no problems.
