Nosejuggler Suspended, Out 2 Games

The Bucklebury Fairies were not very happy with the home plate umpire in the April 17 1-0 loss to Rivendell at The Fairie Dome. One in particular -- Huugdish Nosejuggler. Upon being called out on strikes, the Fairies left 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 Nosejuggler 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 Nosejuggler 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 all of his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Nosejuggler for 2 games.
