Airmen James Suspended Thursday, May 26th, 2033 The Alameda Airmen were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Myrtle Beach at Seahwaks Stadium. One in particular -- Joe James. Upon being called out on strikes, the Airmen right 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 James 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 James 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 James for 3 games. James is hitting .207 this year with 1 home run and 2 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .303, 4 walks and scored 3 times. |
