Divided Rodríguez Suspended Wednesday, September 21st, 2033 The D.C. Divided were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Thunder Bay at Great Northern Field. One in particular -- Júlio Rodríguez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Divided shortstop 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 Rodríguez 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 Rodríguez 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 Rodríguez for 3 games. Rodríguez is hitting .233 this year with 1 home run and 6 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .324, 4 walks and scored 2 times. |
