Ortiz tries to throw ump out of game

David Ortiz delivered a single in the top of the seventh inning during Saturday's Red Sox-Royals game. After the hit, Papi gave his lumber a fairly thorough toss into the area surrounding home plate:

Home-plate umpire Bruce Dreckman ejected the Red Sox DH, and after some back-and-forth arguing, Ortiz decided to eject Dreckman.
