Go Breslow and Whitesell!
Youkilis probably felt guilty about charging the mound. He shouldn't have. But it doesn't make sense for him to just accept the suspension without an appeal. The appeal probably would have knocked it down to three games or something.
I'm not going to pass judgment on Youk. We sometimes forget the human element of the game. He's been hit an awful lot in the last few years. I thought Porcello went overboard. Brawls are part of the game.
I don't think an appeal would have done him any good. Five games is pretty reasonable. Also, by not appealing, it guarantees he'll be around for the Yankees series. Unfortunately, he misses the Rangers series, which is fairly important given the Wild Card standings.
