Orioles chirping from the dugout-Schmuck

"There was some curiosity after Mariano Rivera hit Felix Pie on the lower leg with a pitch, because Rivera walked off the mound before he threw a pitch to the next batter

• and looked into the Orioles dugout.

When manager Joe Girardi and a couple of teammates joined him at the mound, it first appeared that he might be hurt. But Girardi told the Yankees reporters afterward that

• somebody in the Orioles dugout yelled something at Rivera.

Girardi conceded, however, that the alleged chirping in the O's dugout may have been partly in response to his own outburst against Jeremy Guthrie on Monday night after Guthrie hit Mark Teixeira in the elbow at Ed Smith Stadium and also nicked catcher Francisco Cervelli."
