the phone call and Manuel came out to argue, with Runge initiating
contact during the discussion. Beltran also was tossed from the
game followers Manuel's ejection.

Manuel and Beltran an unrevealed amount of money, according to
a statement. Manuel received his punishment for his ''aggressive
conduct'' and Beltran got his for arguing balls and strikes.

Mike Winters for the concluding six years of season for his
confrontation with of the San Diego Padres. Runge
had a function in that incident.

Runge was working behind place plate and asked Thomas Bradley if he
flipped his chiropteran at him after dramatic out earlier in the game,
suggesting that Winters told him so. Thomas Bradley said he didn't and
asked Winters about it when he reached base. Thomas Thomas Bradley and Winters
exchanged words, with Bradley charging that Winters used
expletives. Thomas Bradley ended up tearing a knee joint ligament while being
