No reliever ready, no relief for manager in Dominican league (Yahoo Sports)

There was no relief for a manager in the Dominican winter baseball league who signaled for a relief pitcher when nobody was warming up. Manager Pat Kelly, whose animated arguments with umpires have made for popular YouTube videos, was fired by Licey on Friday, a day after his gaffe in a game against big rival Aguilas. Licey reliever Rafael Soriano took a 2-0 lead into the eighth inning before the former major league closer gave up two hits.
