Cole Hamels’ Five Game Suspension Isn’t Enough: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

It's no secret I'm a diehard fan of the New York Mets. I've never tried to hide that fact. Even so, I'm still a baseball fan before a fan of the Mets. As a result, I feel it's only fair to argue Major League Baseball made a huge error in judgement by only suspending Phillies' pitcher Cole Hamels for five games after he intentionally threw at the Nationals' Bryce Harper. There are no ifs, and, or buts about it. It was a colossal mistake on the part of MLB.

San Francisco Giants’ Angel Pagan Quietly Assembles 18-Game Hitting Streak: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

When the San Francisco Giants traded away Ramon Ramirez and Andres Torres to the New York Mets in exchange for Angel Pagan, I will admit that I was a bit amiss about the whole situation. We took a player in Torres, who we weren't going to tender a contract to, and packaged him with one of our better relievers in Ramirez and traded them for Pagan - a player very similar to Torres in my mind. It simply didn't make sense to me at the time. I felt as if both Torres and Pagan had had their career years in 2010 and wouldn't be very useful from then on.

José Reyes Returns to Citi Field: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

For the first time since leaving the New York Mets to join the Miami Marlins for a whopping $100 million, superstar shortstop José Reyes is returning to Queens. As a lifelong Mets fan who was also an ardent supporter of Reyes during his tenure with the team, I find myself conflicted regarding how to react. There is no right or wrong answer, nor is there a clear one. Before this day I thought I would cheer him heartily, until my voice was hoarse, but now I'm not so sure.

San Francisco Giants’ Aubrey Huff Needs to Be Benched: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

So far this season, Bruch Bochy, manager of the San Francisco Giants, has been busy being in love with Aubrey Huff when he clearly isn't playing well. Brandon Belt is not getting the playing time he needs in order to adjust to big league hitting or even just to prove that he can contribute given the opportunity. Belt supporters have said that Belt gets no respect or love from Bochy and isn't given a shot because of Bochy's loyalty to Huff.
