Pandas Cavell Suspended Sunday, August 24th, 2031 The Montana Pandas were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Buckhead at Panda Park. One in particular -- Casey Cavell. Upon being called out on strikes, the Pandas 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 Cavell 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 Cavell 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 Cavell for 4 games. Cavell is hitting .222 this year with 7 home runs and 27 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .287, 16 walks and scored 16 times. |
