NEW YORK >> Joe Torre, the Chief Baseball Officer of MLB, tried to remove Dodgers infielder Chase Utley from Citi Field this week by suspending him for Games 3 and 4 of the National League Division Series. Was Torre trying to punish Utley for his late, high slide in Game 2 on Saturday, or to protect him?Utley immediately appealed, and his case still had not been heard Monday.
