Dragoons Padilla Suspended Saturday, June 2nd, 2029 The Louisiana Dragoons were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to York at York Park. One in particular -- Reynaldo Padilla. Upon being called out on strikes, the Dragoons center 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 Padilla 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 Padilla 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 Padilla for 4 games. Padilla is hitting .325 this year with 2 home runs and 11 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .352, 3 walks and scored 16 times. |
