CF Poindexter Given 2-Game Suspension Sunday, September 10th, 2034 The Cincinnati Snaps were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Spokane at The Studio. One in particular -- Maurice Poindexter. Upon being called out on strikes, the Snaps 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 Poindexter 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 Poindexter 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 Poindexter for 2 games. So far this year Poindexter has 6 home runs and a .220 batting average. |
