Thompson's suspension pleases Wright

David Wright avoids awkward and controversial situations whenever possible. In the sixth inning of Wednesday’s 9-0 Mets win over the Cardinals, he had to avoid something else — a fastball from pitcher Brad Thompson that would have struck him in the head had he not ducked. And when Thompson was suspended and fined by Major League Baseball on Thursday, Wright didn’t avoid the topic.

“Obviously, when you do something that isn’t right, you should be punished for it,” Wright said on Thursday. The punishment was a three-day suspension and a fine, the amount not announced.

Wright was certain Thompson had intended to throw at him. So, too, was Bob Watson, vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, apparently. Wright was also certain that Thompson hadn’t cared whether the pitch hit the target.
