League Issues Torres 2-Game Suspension Monday, May 4th, 2048 The Atlantic City Aces were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to West Island at Hot Box. One in particular -- Luis Torres. Upon being called out on strikes, the Aces catcher 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 Torres 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 Torres 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 Torres for 2 games. This season Torres is hitting .328 with 8 home runs. |
