Colorado Springs's Whitaker Suspended for 2 Games
The <Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14> were officially notified that second baseman <Sam Whitaker:player#11447> had been suspended for an altercation that occurred in yesterday's game with the Stampede at Stampede Park. After arguing a called third strike by the plate umpire, an enraged Whitaker threw his batting helmet toward home after he reached the dugout.

That action got him ejected and a 2-game suspension.

"I threw the helmet and I shouldn't have. But I don't deserve the suspension. It was a bad call that started this whole mess."

In this current campaign <Whitaker:player#11447> is hitting at a .307 clip with 3 home runs and 14 RBIs.
