Breaking NLCS news: Three Phillies fined


According to manager Charlie Manuel, the Phils are getting their wallets hit for Sunday night's third inning, bench-clearing shoutfest with the Dodgers.


-First base coach Davey Lopes - fined a $1,000.

-Center fielder Shane Victorino - fined $2,500.

-Reliever J.C. Romero - fined $1,000.

"I haven't heard their thoughts about fining those guys, or what they did to get fined that," Manuel said. "I guess when they looked at the films and replays and things, they took into consideration who was doing the talking and that sort of thing. I guess some of them had to be restrained and things like that."

The Phillies didn't have any suspensions. Still, Manuel is not sure the punishment fit the crime. (Here's the AP story on all the fines -- the Dodgers didn't go unpunished, either.)

"I thought it was pretty tough. That's coming down pretty hard for what happened," Manuel said. "I think it is making a little more out of it than what it was. That's what I think."
