Coco Crisp had the suspension for his role in the Rays/Red Sox scuffle reduced to 5 games today. It was originally set at 7.

He’ll begin his sentence on Saturday and will miss the next series in Tampa Bay. This is probably a good thing because with him not being there, tempers will be given a chance to cool down a bit. No reason to have things get heated all over again and risk more suspensions in the middle of a pennant race.
