Rails Casillas Suspended Friday, September 14th, 2029 The Richland Rails were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Mercer Island at Mercer Island Grounds. One in particular -- Orlando Casillas. Upon being called out on strikes, the Rails second baseman 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 Casillas 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 Casillas 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 Casillas for 2 games. Casillas is hitting .312 so far this season with 39 RBIs and 77 runs scored. He has 123 hits including 12 home runs, 50 walks and .389 OBP. |
