| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Tequila, is this better. I got the other one from espn.com NEW YORK (AP) - New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada was suspended for six games Friday for his confrontation with an umpire earlier this week. Posada also was fined an undisclosed amount by Frank Robinson, the vice president of the commissioner's office in charge of discipline. Robinson said Posada was penalized for "aggressive arguing, making contact with umpire Andy Fletcher on multiple occasions and throwing equipment onto the playing field." The catcher was ejected after batting in the ninth inning Monday of the Yankees' 7-5 win over Toronto, livid over a called third strike call from Fletcher. Posada appeared to bump the plate umpire while shouting profanities at the umpire and inadvertently sprayed Fletcher's face with saliva while arguing. The catcher then went to the dugout and threw his helmet and a bat onto the field. The suspension is subject to an appeal by the Major League Baseball Players Association. If appealed, the penalty is delayed until after a hearing before Paul Beeston, baseball's chief operating officer. "He pushed me, then I got close and I got upset, and he pushed me and I said, 'Don't push me! Don't push me!'" Posada said after the game. "Then he pushed me again with the elbow, and I said again 'Don't push me! Don't push me!' and I got really upset. He shouldn't be able to touch me." Posada originally thought he had a history with Fletcher, claiming they argued after he was called out to end a game on Aug. 6, but Justin Klemm was behind the plate for that game. Later, Posada said any mistaken identity wouldn't change his feelings. "It's still a bad call. He threw me out right away," Posada said. "When somebody is pushing you, when you're mad at them, I mean obviously you can't do nothing to him, but you don't need to keep pushing. Either way, even a player can't be pushing an umpire, no matter what. That's why I got upset." Umpires were livid in 1996 when Roberto Alomar spat at umpire John Hirschbeck on the final weekend of the regular season and received a five-game suspension, to be served at the start of the following season. Umpires wanted a more severe penalty and attempted to strike at the start of the playoffs. Baseball went to federal court to get a restraining order that stopped the walkout. In that case, Alomar intentionally spit at the umpire. It appeared Posada did not intentionally spit at Fletcher. | ||||
