Can We Get MLB To Suspend The Entire Phillies Lineup? Please?

Deadspin has a list of people in baseball who have done worse things than A-Rod and not gotten suspended for 211 games. Besides domestic assault, statutory rape, DUI, threatening a wife, PED and drug use, shooting a woman in the head, and many more. The list is flawed -- Curt Schilling is listed for using a permitted pain reliever/anti-inflammatory, and if that was "worse than A-Rod," so is taking a bunch of Advil or getting a cortisone shot; Ugueth Urbina wasn't suspended because he was in jail for years. But, yeah, baseball overlooks stuff that isn't on the field all the time. They could argue that even a DUI or domestic assault doesn't impact what happens in a game but PEDs do, but if they're being arbiters of morality, maybe off-the-field behavior DOES matter. (Deadspin)
