Fines in Baseball

While watching tonights game me and my friends had a debate that perhaps I can get an answer to and open some discussion of.

Do players get fined for swearing at the plate.  On the broadcast (EI had Cardinals telecast) Theriot very loudly dropped the f-bomb after one of his outs at the plate and one of the Cardinals also muttered sh!t during a similar hit.  Could the players technically be fined for that? 

To go along with that, what other actions would be a cause for a player to be fined at the plate? 

Sorry if not diary worthy but its something to talk about instead of the dozens of anti-soriano posts that will be up.  On another note, any other team that pulls a starter after less than one inning wouldn't have gone to 11 innings like The Cubs did.  If there is a bright spot on tonight that would be it...
