OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Some of the Oakland Athletics were furious with Derek Lowe, accusing the Red Sox pitcher of making obscene gestures toward them after he struck out Terrence Long to finish Boston's 4-3 victory in the AL division series Monday night.

``It's a situation where if you did anything where you offended anyone, I'm sorry,'' Lowe said. ``I was swinging my arms around. I don't know what I did. I did the same crazy thing I do every game.''

The A's thought Lowe simulated a sexual act with his arms and made a gesture toward his crotch following the final out, sending Oakland shortstop Miguel Tejada into a rage in the clubhouse moments later.

``Derek Lowe is going to be paid back for that sign,'' Tejada screamed hysterically through the clubhouse, shouting expletives. ``My kid is in the stands. He's going to pay.''

Oakland general manager Billy Beane escorted the crying Tejada away.

Tejada was later told that Lowe apologized.

``I feel better now that I hear he apologizes,'' Tejada said after calming down. ``He was jumping around and making a scene. They have families up there, we have families up there.''

Tejada is one of the most emotional players on the A's, and this was probably his final game with them because he can become a free agent.

``He takes everything personally, wins and losses, and plays with his heart on his sleeve,'' first baseman Scott Hatteberg said of Tejada. ``He plays with everything he's got.''

Other A's players were offended.

``That's extremely unprofessional,'' centre fielder Chris Singleton said. ``That's a shame that's the type of person he is. He was the only one who showed less than professionalism.''

Hatteberg spent seven seasons with the Red Sox and 11 in their organization. He and Lowe were teammates.

``To have that done is absolutely classless and unprofessional,'' Hatteberg said. ``I'm disappointed having known him. I don't think it was aimed at (Tejada), it was aimed at us. I know we show emotion, but I can't think of anything we've done to show them up.''

and after i saw highlights of game three (i think) when Tejada stopped rounding third (when he saw that he had no play at the plate) turned around and started to bitch to the Ump saying that he was interfered with....you never stop running in baseball, you learn that in little league.
