Armenta Must Sit Out 2 Games Sunday, March 7th, 2032 The Santa Barbara Suenos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Caribbean at Castro Field. One in particular -- Manuel Armenta. Upon being called out on strikes, the Suenos 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 Armenta 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 Armenta 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 Armenta for 2 games. In his 2032 season totals, Armenta has 4 home runs, .281 BA, .332 OBP, 26 RBIs and 21 runs scored. |
