Villanueva Will Sit Out 4 Games, Suspended by League Sunday, June 4th, 2034 The Albuquerque Cacti were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Coronado at Phantoms Field. One in particular -- Jesus Villanueva. Upon being called out on strikes, the Cacti shortstop 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 Villanueva 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 Villanueva 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 Villanueva for 4 games. Looking at his season stats, Villanueva has compiled a .333 batting average and a .371 on-base percentage, while hitting 1 home run and driving in 6 runs. |
