League Suspends Michigan LF Douglas Friday, May 22nd, 2054 The Michigan Militia were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Cape Canaveral at Launch Pad. One in particular -- Brian Douglas. Upon being called out on strikes, the Militia 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 Douglas 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 Douglas 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 Douglas for 4 games. On the season, Douglas is batting .315 with 5 home runs and 17 RBIs. He has played in 38 games. |
