League Suspends Castillo 4 Games Monday, August 11th , 2064 The Nichols Gnats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Ottawa at The Pond. One in particular -- Jose Castillo. Upon being called out on strikes, the Gnats center fielder 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 Castillo 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 Castillo 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 Castillo for 4 games. This year, Castillo is hitting at a .287 pace with 19 home runs and 74 RBIs. He has played in 97 games and scored 60 times. |
