Daniel Cabrera was thrown out of a game for hitting Alex Rodriguez with a pitch. A pitch that even Alex Rodriguez said was likely an aciident. So Cabrera was given a six-game suspension and Cabrera has decided to appeal it. "As soon as I got suspended, I called my agent first thing in the morning and appealed right away," Cabrera said. "I think everybody knows except the umpire that when the ball hit A-Rod, I didn't try to hit him. But there are a lot of people in that ballpark. Maybe he got a little nervous, I don't know, and he agreed to do it. What can I do? Just wait and see what happens."

On Friday he let the league know that he would like a hearing to talk about the suspension. One thing that maybe suggests it was on purpose was Alex Rodriguez's home run earlier in the game.
