    Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and umpire Bob Davidson were both suspended for one game Friday for their behavior during a heated argument during a game Tuesday. But it was Davidson's suspension that raised eyebrows around baseball.

    Manuel was ejected in the eighth inning of a 4-3, 10-inning win over Houston. He thought a ball had been foul-tipped and got into an argument with Davidson that escalated into profanities. Manuel will serve the suspension Friday night when the Phillies host the Boston Red Sox.
