I was at the game in Oakland where Pudge got tossed. Payton had just hit a grand slam to give the A's the lead. The next batter went a quick 2-0 count and Pudge said something to the umpire. The he got up and he was arguing with the umpire something good. I think he even bumped the umpire with the mask in his hand. Once he went in the dugout he tossed a bag of balls on to the field. If he did touch the umpire, he is lucky it is only 4 games. It was probably a pretty steep fine too.
I also hear he is going to drop his appeal and start his suspension on Monday.
