League Issues Chiu 2-Game Suspension Friday, July 2nd, 2032 The Palm Beach Bums were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Barrow at The Blizzard Bowl. One in particular -- Xing-hua Chiu. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bums 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 Chiu 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 Chiu 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 Chiu for 2 games. So far this season Chiu has put up a .189 batting average with 17 hits, 2 home runs and 9 RBIs. |
