Calgary's Lopez Suspended 2 Games Thursday, August 26th , 2027 The Calgary Caracals were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Saskatoon at Caracals Stadium. One in particular -- Alex Lopez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Caracals 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 Lopez 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 Lopez 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 Lopez for 2 games. In his season totals Lopez has 3 home runs and a .335 batting average. |
