"The Indians lost the last game of the season and their manager Wednesday night, as the Detroit Tigers beat the Tribe for the 10th time in a row, 5-4 at Comerica Park.

The club didn't have to send out a search party for Manny Acta; it wasn't that kind ofloss. But in the first inning, the skipper left the dugout to argue a strike call on Asdrubal Cabrera by umpire Dan Bellino and quickly was ejected.

A strange scenario to say the least.

The game meant virtually nothing to the Tribe, which clinched second place two hours earlier, when the Chicago White Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays. So it's not as if Acta was poised for a stressful evening and primed to explode at the slightest provocation."
