Milwaukee Loses 2B Sampson, Suspended by League Friday, September 10th, 2066 The Milwaukee Brewers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Oakland at McAfee Coliseum. One in particular -- Thomas Sampson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Brewers 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 Sampson 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 Sampson 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 Sampson for 2 games. This year Sampson is batting .296 with 11 home runs. |
