That is NHL style punishment. Basing it off the injury as opposed to the play. If Tejada doesn't break a leg, he doesn't get suspended. And suspending him now when there is a video of him doing this a few weeks ago 5 feet off the bag. At least this time, he actually went over the bag.Wow -

LAD INF Utley has been suspended for Games 3 & 4 of NLDS as a result of his illegal slide in the 7th inning on Sat.

So a slide that warrants a 2 game suspension results in no consequence during the game. They even called him safe when he didn't even touch the bag.
I would be furious if I were a Mets fan.
