Manny Ramirez Ejected In Last Dodger At-Bat (VIDEO)

With all signs point to Manny Ramirez joining the Chicago White Sox, the slugger had been out of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup for the past four games, including Sunday night against the Colorado Rockies.

In the sixth inning, however, Ramirez had a chance to cut a 8-2 deficit when he pinch-hit with the bases loaded. After just one pitch in what is reportedly his final at-bat as a Dodger, a called strike, Ramirez began arguing with home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom, who ejected him soon thereafter.

Dodgers manager Joe Torre defended Ramirez and said he didn't think he should have been thrown out of the game.

"I'm very disappointed in the fact he threw him out," said Torre. "He [Cederstrom] said he [Ramirez] was 'demonstrative' about it. What the [heck] does that mean?"

So is Stephen Strasburg.

It's hilarious to hear LA fans say that he sucks. The guy has hit .332 with a post season .400 avg. With 230+ hits and 150+ rbi for barely two full seasons with LA. He was one of their best hitters.

The game was in Colorado. I'm pretty sure that was a Rockies fan.

LA's team post season average is going to be .000 this year. With or without Manny.

Oh yeah, He got busted for using steroids while in LA.

I don't know, but...

... I don't think he REALLY wanted to hit.

Sad that one of baseball's greatest hitters will have his career forever marred by how he behaved in his final seasons in the majors.

He cheated...

[Rahm11219]

Yeah him and everyone else... in case you missed the memo, steroids make you stronger, they don't magically connect the baseball to the bat, nor do they make you a clutch hitter.

Manny was hitting .311, something most players would love to hit. And the pitch was definitely a ball. I saw the overhead view on ESPN, but nobody mentions that it was a bad call by the ump, just how bad Manny is.

arguing balls and strikes is automatic boot. You think Manny knew that? Bases loaded and he decides to make a scene over a ball and strike call. Thanks Manny, and good riddance.

[eyepatch]

04:33 PM on 08/30/2010

Careful there ATL guy

we won it ALL in 2005 ...
you guys will be also rans again this year
and you are also losing one of the best managers in
all of Baseball (Bobby Cox)

You have your own problems that aren't good focus on that !!!!

[vesaversa1]

04:52 PM on 08/30/2010

I have to agree with you on two points that the Sox's won the series in 05 and the Bravo's is losing Bobby COX ,arguably one of the best manger in MLB baseball .Eyepact that was hitting a little low , but i think the Braves have the best minor league system in baseball which put them in very good shape, have you notice the new faces on the roster this years ? The Braves is also in first place my friend . Baseball is a funny game and i hope this is the year the Braves win another series especially before the Sox win another . I really got tired of hearing my family members from Chicago bragging on and on like they did in 05 .

That reminds me of the time he didn't want to play in Boston anymore, he came up to bat pinch-hitting in the ninth in a close game against the Yankees, and took three straight strikes down the middle of the plate then sat down.

[PoliticalEnnui]

09:46 PM on 08/30/2010

Yeah. I really want to like the guy and wish him well, but he doesn't do much to endear himself with the fans. He could have been a living legend in Boston...in a good way.

Manny's annoying antics got in the way of my seeing the umpire, like I watch baseball to do.

Most bropoadcasts filter out fan cursing. This was staged "inglory". Rockies fans suck...so what?

[Pailface]

02:20 PM on 08/30/2010

It’s funny with Manny… Once the STERIODS went away so did his production…

1985 to 2005: All Baseball records from that era should ALL HAVE *

My thoughts exactly

That has to include guys like Nolan Ryan and Carlton Fisk, who, when you look at it now, put up some awfully suspicious stats late in their careers.

It makes you wonder.

They're both in the Hall of Fame.

Sadly, it does make you wonder.
