Solís Will Sit Out 2 Games, Suspended by League Sunday, June 4th, 2034 The Hawaii Islanders were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to New England at Skellington Stadium. One in particular -- Jesús Solís. Upon being called out on strikes, the Islanders left 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 Solís 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 Solís 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 Solís for 2 games. Solís on the season is batting .216 with 3 home runs. His totals include 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored. He has played in 38 games. |
