From our vantage point behind the dugout, Timmons gave him a wave just as Ortiz was about to enter the dugout. Ortiz was gesturing all the way back. We interpreted that wave as the ejection, especially after Ortiz gave Timmons the "it was over my head" sign at the plate.
Cabrera told Fairchild "your're horrible". You could clearly read his lips when he said it and Fairchild told Leyland the same thing at the plate. In addition, this occurred immediately after he warned Cabrera for chirping about balls and strikes.
"You're horrible" gets you a copy of the home game and some nice parting gifts no matter how you say it.
