Scorpions Collado Suspended Sunday, August 20th, 2034 The Scottsdale Scorpions were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Augusta at Murderer's Row. One in particular -- Danny Collado. Upon being called out on strikes, the Scorpions second baseman 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 Collado 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 Collado 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 Collado for 3 games. This season Collado has hit 1 home run and posted a .200 batting average. |
