Headed for a Suspension?
Adam Wainwright threw behind Brad Ausmus Saturday after a Cardinals player was hit by a pitch. Since MLB recently established that offense requires a suspension, will Adam have to ride the pine? Also, since Wainwright is a starter, shouldn't the suspension be ten days, so he has to miss two starts? It would be silly to suspend a pitcher for three games, since he'll appeal, then drop the appeal the day after a start.

It would seem so, as the initial suspension is currently under appeal. A pass on Wainwright would be grounds for a successful appeal.
Usually for SP's, they do a 5-6 game suspension, which really only messes up the rotation a bit.
