Durocher Suspended by League Wednesday, June 7th , 2062 The Clearwater Seagulls were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Wichita at Chapman Field. One in particular -- Jeremy Durocher. Upon being called out on strikes, the Seagulls catcher 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 Durocher 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 Durocher told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Durocher for 4 games. For the year, Durocher is batting .197 with 29 hits and 2 home runs. He has scored 15 times and driven in 9. |
