Peaches SS Bryant Suspended 4 Games Monday, September 10th , 2063 The Savannah Peaches were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Rosewell at Martin Field. One in particular -- John Bryant. Upon being called out on strikes, the Peaches 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 Bryant 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 Bryant 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 Bryant for 4 games. In 76 games this season, Bryant has batted at a .243 pace with 66 hits and 9 home runs. |
