According to Larry Brown Sports, there were ten ejections including Reno manager Phil Nevin- and this was in the second inning of the game. And this is the first time in a while that the HQ has seen anything drift in to the stands like that.

Dodgers Cut Miguel Olivo After Ear-Biting Incident

((HT: ESPN))

The HQ had a feeling this wasn't going to end well...

Miguel Olivo and Alex Guerrero got into a bit of a kerfuffle in their Albuquerque dugout a few days ago- the result of a short-hop and a missed tag- and Olivo ended up biting a chunk of Guerrero's ear off in the mele. Guerrero was signed as a Cuban emigre for $28-million and was getting used to life in the United States and could now miss up to a month or more.

His agent, Leigh Steinberg, says his client will have to have plastic surgery over the incident and Olivo was released from the triple-A roster Thursday.
