  NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball suspended umpire Fieldin Culbreth for two games on Friday because he was in charge of the crew that allowed Astros manager Bo Porter to improperly switch relievers in the middle of an inning. Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys . Culbreth and the rest of his crew -- Brian ONora, Bill Welke and Adrian Johnson -- were also fined an undisclosed amount after MLB admitted its umps goofed for the second straight day. "The rule covering pitching changes was not applied correctly by the umpiring crew," MLB said in a statement. Culbreth and his crew worked the Padres-Rays game in Tampa, Fla., on Friday night. He told a pool reporter after the game that he takes "all the responsibility" for what happened. As for the discipline? "I look at it that baseball has high standards for their umpires and I have high standards for myself and I didnt meet those standards last night, so I am absolutely OK with everything," he said. The problem in Houston came a day after Angel Hernandez and his crew in Cleveland failed to reverse a clear-cut home run after looking at a video review. MLB executive vice-president Joe Torre said the umpires made an "improper call." Hernandez was booed when the umpires were introduced Friday night before the Washington Nationals hosted the Chicago Cubs. Its recently been a rough run for umps. Crew chief Tom Hallion was fined earlier this month after getting into a verbal spat with Tampa Bay pitcher David Price. The latest trouble occurred in the seventh inning at Minute Maid Park. And while baseball does have video replay for some hard-to-tell calls -- and has talked for a couple of years about expanding its scope -- there was no mistaking what umpires saw. With two outs and the Astros ahead 5-3, Houston reliever Wesley Wright came in from the bullpen and threw several warmup pitches from the mound. Porter, a first-year manager, then ran onto the field to stop him and brought in another reliever, Hector Ambriz. Angels manager Mike Scioscia argued, correctly contending Wright was required to pitch to at least one batter. But the umpires permitted Ambriz to stay in and Scioscia put the game under protest -- it became moot when the Angels rallied to win 6-5. Scioscia wasnt surprised by MLBs stern ruling. "One thing I have found is that in the course of, especially with Joe Torre and Major League Baseball, that I think there is accountability," he said Friday in Chicago. "That might not always show its face but I know behind the scenes its there and this is one example." Pinch-hitter Luis Jimenez was on deck when Wright entered. Once Ambriz took over, Scott Cousins came up as a pinch-hitter. On Friday, Porter was upset that he caused the problem. "Personally, I want to apologize to their whole crew for putting them in that position," he said. "Its unfortunate for the game of baseball." A day later, Culbreth tried to explain what happened. "We just got to cross-sectioning different rules within the changing of a pitcher, and just had a hard time getting back on track from that," he said. "We got confused." Porter said he spoke with Culbreth after the game and apologized to him when he realized he was wrong. But he still wanted to make a public apology. "There are some repercussions, and again as I sit here today, its more that I feel sorry for the crew chief and the crew for having to wear what it is that happened last night," Porter said. Culbreth said Porters mistake was not the problem. "I look at it that the players and the managers, they go out and play the game and it is our job, whether they are knowingly or unknowingly getting outside the boundaries to get them back in, and I fell short of keeping them inside those lines," Culbreth said. "And that falls on me." Wright, one of the pitchers involved in the fiasco, thinks its unfortunate that Culbreth was suspended. He said when it happened; he figured he was going to have to stay in to face a batter. "When they told me I was out of the game I was just kind of like: Maybe I dont understand the rule," he said. "It was just one of those weird situations." A day earlier, a mistake in Cleveland caused a lot of commotion. Adam Rosales and the Athletics were certain hed hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning against the Indians. Three umpires went to a video review and instead upheld the original call on the field that the ball didnt clear the left-field wall. Oakland manager Bob Melvin was ejected and was later contacted by MLB officials. The mistake drew attention all over the majors. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said hed never before seen an obvious miss despite replay. "This is the first one where there definitely is a line drawn where you go, Wow," he said. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys .

OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy shook his head slowly in the post game press conference, uncertain whether to be relieved or bewildered.The Rebels defeated UT Martin 86-83 in the season opener for both clubs in a game that featured 53 fouls, 61 free throws, 41 turnovers and two potential game-tying shots by the Skyhawks in the final five seconds.The thing that bothers me the most are the turnovers, said Kennedy, whose club accounted for 24, including a pair in the final 10 seconds. One thing weve been very good at doing in my time here is we havent turned the ball over. But we were so careless tonight and its maddening.Deandre Burnett proved to be the decisive factor with 23 points, including two free throws with 9.5 seconds remaining for the final margin. Terence Davis scored 19 points, Rasheed Brooks had 12 and Cullen Neal added 10 to lead a balanced offensive attack.Theres no question that he is going to make them, said Kennedy about Burnett, who finished 10 of 10 from the charity stripe.

This was a good win against a team thats going to win a lot of ballgames.Matthew Butler led UT Martin (0-1) with 25 points, including three 3-pointers in the final three minutes that wiped out a 76-66 Ole Miss lead.

The returning leading scorer and rebounder from last season managed only five points and three rebounds. No bones about it. Hes the anchor of this team and he was a no show tonight, Kennedy said. I know it was fouls, but I told him and he knows that he cant be a no show.TURNING POINTTrailing 42-33, Ole Miss had a 14-0 run that spanned the final two minutes of the first half and the opening three minutes of the second half.
