Mariners' first baseman Richie Sexson has decided to appeal the six-game suspension the league handed down on Friday stemming from an on-field incident that took place on Thursday, according to The Seattle Times. Because of his plans to appeal the suspension, he failed to comment on the situation. Seattle Manager John McLaren did admit that the team plans to help Sexson through the process. "There were some things said last night that we are aware of that we can use in our defense," McLaren said. "We'll get with Richie so that when he does appeal he'll have some things that he can give Bob [Watson, the league's disciplinarian]."
