Hot N Readys Ross Suspended Sunday, July 30th, 2034 The Little Caesars Hot N Readys were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Long Island at Ballpark of Remsen. One in particular -- Troy Ross. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hot N Readys 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 Ross 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 Ross 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 Ross for 2 games. Ross is hitting .213 so far this season with 19 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 35 hits including 4 home runs, 19 walks and .299 OBP. |
