NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been ejected in the first inning against the New York Yankees for arguing a called third strike against slugger Paul Konerko.
The outspoken Guillen immediately took to Twitter during Wednesday’s game, calling the ejection pathetic and saying it would cost him a pricey fine.
With a runner on second and two outs in the top of the first, Konerko was called out on a borderline pitch by Bartolo Colon.
Konerko motioned with his bat toward plate umpire Todd Tichenor as he walked back to the dugout. Guillen was ejected between innings, and he came out on the field with some choice words for Tichenor.
Guillen returned to the dugout and handed the lineup card to bench coach Joey Cora. It was Guillen’s 26th career ejection and first this season.
