Breaking News: Hawkins Gets to Sit for 3

The NY Daily News' Mark Feinsand has learned that LaTroy Hawkins will be suspended by MLB for 3 games for throwing at the Orioles Luke Scott in an apparent retaliation for Derek Jeter being hit by Daniel Cabrera.

When questioned after the game, Hawkins gave the usual response of the pitch slipped away from me. While Hawkins will likely appeal, he's not likely to have his suspension reduced by MLB as Kyle Farnsworth did. Farnsworth was not thrown out of the game for throwing behind Manny Ramirez on April 15, and no benches emptied as they did on Tuesday night.
