Toledo's Kiyomizu Suspended
The <Toledo Ducks:team#51> were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to <Erie:team#53> at Toledo Grounds. One in particular -- <Izo Kiyomizu:player#6086>. Upon being called out on strikes, the Ducks 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 Kiyomizu 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 Kiyomizu 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 Kiyomizu for 2 games.

<Kiyomizu:player#6086> is currently hitting at a .207 pace with 4 home runs and 10 RBIs.
