This is out of the Southtown:
After getting ejected in the fifth inning Sunday by home-plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, Sox manager
Jerry Manuel continued to go back and forth with Cuzzi in a heated argument before leaving
the field.
At one point, it appeared Manuel bumped Cuzzi's back, as Cuzzi stopped suddenly while
Manuel was walking after him.
"(Cuzzi) kind of mentioned (that I bumped him), but I don't know," Manuel said. "I'm sure he
might look at it, or maybe not."
Asked whether he felt a suspension might be forthcoming for having bumped an ump, Manuel
shrugged, "I don't know, my chest ain't that big."
