Tinsley Will Sit Out 2 Games, Suspended by League Friday, February 5th, 2044 The Toronto (AFL) Blue Jays were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Boston (AFL) at Managua Fields. One in particular -- Mike Tinsley. Upon being called out on strikes, the Blue Jays 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 Tinsley 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 Tinsley 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 Tinsley for 2 games. In his stats this season, Tinsley has posted a batting average of .193 with 11 hits in 57 at-bats, no home runs and 2 RBIs. He has also scored 6 runs, walked 6 times and compiled a .270 OBP. |
