 | League Rules Sosa Out 6 Games Sunday, July 8th, 2012: The Jacksonville Jacks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Las Vegas at Skellington Stadium. One in particular -- Roberto Sosa. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jacks third 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 Sosa 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 Sosa 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 Sosa for 6 games. This year Sosa has batted at a .304 pace with 98 hits, 11 home runs, 40 RBIs and scored 54 times. |   |
