MLB news: Multiple Dodgers suspended after wild game against Giants; Cards \u201cfront runners\u201d for Oswalt<\/strong> ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_629\")
<\/p>\nIf you didn\u2019t see the highlights from Tuesday\u2019s circus game between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers \u2013 go find them. The chaos started with Tim Lincecum losing his control. It was almost Rick Ankiel-like. He tossed a ball straight up in the air, another behind Matt Kemp, and a third into Kemp\u2019s ribs.<\/p>\n
Then things got ugly. Denny Bautista threw at Russell Martin. Clayton Kershaw threw at Aaron Rowand. Don Mattingly stepped off the mound during a visit and was charged with two mound visits, forcing him to remove Jonathan Broxton from the game. A cold George Sherrill then gave up the winning hit.<\/p>\n
In the end, a truckload of Dodgers have been suspended. Clayton Kershaw got five games. Manager Joe Torre got a game, as did bench coach Bob Schafer. What I don\u2019t understand is why all the bans are on the Dodgers. Didn\u2019t the Giants start the fracas?<\/p>\n
The Roy Oswalt sweepstakes are heating up. The St. Louis Cardinals have reportedly leapfrogged Philadelphia to become the frontrunners to land Roy Oswalt.<\/p>\n
The Astros have been in talks with their division rivals for several days and, apparently, Oswalt would \u201clove\u201d to pitch for St. Louis. A deal would mean the Cards would send top pitching prospect Shelby Miller to Houston.<\/p>\n
Also drawing interest on the trade market: MLB home run leader Jose Bautista. The Blue Jays are getting bites from the Giants, Tigers, White Sox and Braves.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not surprising since he has just a million bucks left on his 2010 salary.<\/p>\n
