Jardineros Patrio Suffers 3-Game Suspension Tuesday, December 6th , 2039 The San Luis Potosi Jardineros were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Queretaro at Desperados Ballpark. One in particular -- Augusto Patrio. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jardineros first 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 Patrio 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 Patrio 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 Patrio for 3 games. Currently Patrio is batting .252 with 9 home runs, 48 RBIs and 50 runs scored. |
