Nunez Must Sit Out 3 Games Saturday, October 12th , 2047 The Hamilton Cardinals were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to London at Labatt Park. One in particular -- Pablo Nunez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Cardinals 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 Nunez 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 Nunez 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 Nunez for 3 games. So far this season Nunez is batting .235 with 19 home runs. |
