Listen, hes got s right to appeal the gets to play. Thats pretty reasonable. I think it was a dirty play but suspending him and taking i dont think you can do that to a team even though theyre the l. A. Dodgers, i dont think you could do it. Reporter mayor de blasio says he too will be in attendance tonight but hes not as forgiving. He can appeal all he wants but hes guilty as sin.
