RF Echevarria Receives 2-Game Suspension
The <Vancouver Canadians:team#35> were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to <Ocean City:team#25> at Crabpots Field. One in particular -- <Mario Echevarria:player#11485>. Upon being called out on strikes, the Canadians right 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 Echevarria 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 Echevarria 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 Echevarria for 2 games.

This season <Echevarria:player#11485> has hit at a .214 clip and produced no runs batted in, no home runs and 4 runs.
