Moore Will Sit Out 4 Games, Suspended by League Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 The Pasadena Bumblebees were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Minneapolis at The Hole. One in particular -- Bob Moore. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bumblebees 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 Moore 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 Moore 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 Moore for 4 games. Currently Moore is hitting .232 and has collected no home runs, 11 RBIs and scored 11 times, while playing in 28 games. |
