Mets manager Jerry Manuel has been suspended one game for making contact with first base umpire Bill Welke. He will serve the suspension today, with Sandy Alomar, Sr. taking his place.
Despite how blatantly wrong Welke was on the Victorino obstruction call, the suspension is still correct. The brim of Manuel's cap did make contact with Welke's face. It's only one game, so the Mets will deal with it today and move on.
