Per WEEI (a radio station that will have a brand new competitor starting at 1pm tomorrow afternoon), Kevin Youkilis has been suspended for 5 games, and will begin his suspension immediately, starting tonight against Detroit.

Youkilis will miss the following games:

• Tigers tonight at home (Armando Galarraga)
• Tigers tomorrow at home (Justin Verlander)
• Rangers Friday @ Arlington (Kevin Millwood)
• Rangers Saturday @ Arlington (Derek Holland)
• Rangers Sunday @ Arlington (Dustin Nippert)

The games against Verlander and Millwood will be especially tough without the best hitter in the lineup for the Red Sox, but I think it’s a decent idea to get this over with as soon as possible.  Do it while Lowell is still able to move (somewhat) and is still swinging the bat well.

Also, a tip of the cap goes to MLB Dean of Doom Bob Watson for what seems to be a fair enough punishment.  Five games is pretty much the minimum suspension I expected Youkilis to receive.  No complaints here.
