Phillies LF Bell Suspended 2 Games Friday, September 20th , 2047 The Philadelphia (APP) Phillies were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Missoula at Ogren Park at Allegiance Field. One in particular -- Mike Bell. Upon being called out on strikes, the Phillies left fielder gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Bell lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Bell told reporters, "He was blind today. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him. If he doesn't know the words to the song, I'm sure we can get it in Braille, so he can follow along." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Bell for 2 games. This year Bell is hitting .270 with 121 hits, 32 home runs, 97 RBIs and has scored 92 runs. |
