Rogers Reinstated

Kenny Rogers was reinstated today by an arbitrator. I couldn't be more annoyed. An arbitrator thinks assaulting two cameramen doesn't merit at least twenty games off? What is this arbitrator thinking? It's only a twenty game suspension if Rogers used a weapon? I can't believe that anyone with an ounce of common sense thinks Rogers deserves to have his suspension curtailed.

Bud Selig may be the worst commissioner of all-time, but the guy can't even level a suspension without someone outside the game revoking his decision. How can he effectively perform his job, if every decision he makes needs to be approved by Donald Fehr, the U.S. Congress and some random arbitrator?
