Guys do this stuff on a DAILY BASIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY... Yet Victor Molina gets put on the ground for 30 days for a split second, anger-generated, loss of control? A guy who doesn't have a single transgression on his record in a 27 year career? Unbelievable. Priorities totally out of whack.

i agree.
when you first see the headline it sounds bad (it's not great)...but i think this is definitely overkill. have to wonder how much a jock can really injure a horse that's ten times his size anyway. it's not like he drop-kicked a puppy across the infield.
