 | League Suspends Banditos Guerra 5 Games Sunday, September 2nd, 2012: The Acapulco Banditos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to St. John at Underdogs Ballpark. One in particular -- Rafael Guerra. Upon being called out on strikes, the Banditos second 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 Guerra 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 Guerra 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 Guerra for 5 games. This season Guerra has delivered 20 hits in 57 at-bats for a .351 average with 1 home run. He is getting on base at a .424 clip and his totals also include 14 RBIs and 13 runs scored. This year Guerra has played in 22 games. |   |
