BALTIMORE -- Kenny Rogers' appeal of his 20-game suspension for shoving two cameramen was rejected Wednesday by commissioner Bud Selig, who deemed the behavior of the Texas Rangers' pitcher to be "wholly unacceptable."

The players' association said it will pursue a grievance before an arbitrator to overturn the penalty.

The commissioner, who heard Rogers' appeal in Milwaukee last Friday, said the suspension would begin with Wednesday night's game at the Baltimore Orioles. Rogers declined comment.

"We've got some options. None of them are going to be as good as Kenny," Showalter said. "But that's the cards that we're dealt, and it looks like we'll be playing with 24 players for a while. It puts a lot of emphasis on nobody getting kicked out of a game, that's for sure."

1. 20 game suspension my ass!

He needs to be in jail or in a bread line. If you are paid the big bucks to be a sports star, you should be to handle all the attention, good and bad.

A suspension does not hurt him, it hurts his team more than him, he still gets paid on suspension.
