How does Romo get suspended and not Lindor also. Oh well, meaningless to suspend a reliever for one game, it’s like suspending a starter for four games.

Correct. This is just so MLB can make it look like they did something. A one-game suspension for a reliever is less than a slap on the wrist. It's almost more like a pat on the head. I suspect that Lindor's fine was similar to the one game of salary that Romo lost, except that Lindor won't have to sit out a game, which is only fair.

I remember years ago, when I was a young man, long before I met Mrs Chief. I was dating this girl, and she had a lazy eye. We were getting pretty serious, or so I though, but I had to end it. Turns out she was seeing someone else on the side.

Do we know if Romo is serving the suspension tonight? 

Dunno, but from the MLB.com article:

 

Unless appealed, the suspension of Romo will be served Saturday night,

And just so folk know...

 

I was supposed to write ye olde intro, but slept through an alarm.

 

So yeah, my accentuating the informal nature of the thread is just trying to make lemonade out of lemons.

 

Thanks, Spycake for covering on the sly.

In an interesting (to me, at least) bit of rock&roll trivia, the guy who played sax on Short Shorts also was the lead singer on this wonderful bit of the '60's.
