in sports, baseball's eccentric outfielder manny ramirez has joined the chicago white sox and he's already making things interesting. here's nbc fred roggin with a early look at all your sports headlines. >>> good morning and, yes or no here, it's always something with manny ramirez. the slugger joined the white sox yesterday, held a news conference, answered every question the media asked but with a catch. he answered every question in spanish with an interpreter, even though he speaks fluent english. go figure. manny was in the starting lineup against the indians. for the tied games in the ninth he was ready to go, on deck, would have been made his debut if a.j. pierzynski didn't hit this this three-run bomb to right. no need for manny. the sox held on to win 4-3. yanks teixeira hit the cover off of ball, two runs on the rays in the sixth inning. if you think teixeira's home runs were impressive, how about 43 for jose batista? he leads the majors. blue jays won 4-3. >>> and ninth inning, rangers, pitch got away from the catcher, in comes willie bloomquist. a walkoff wild pitch. the teams

manny ramirez had singled in his white sox debut, but for the second straight game, he was more effective from the on-deck circle. to cleveland. indians up 4-2 in the eighth. with manny on deck, paul konerko gave them a lead with a three-run homer. remember, what he on deck tuesday when a.j. hit the go-ahead homer. white sox won 6-4. >>> in florida, flash back to tuesday. the nationals' nyjer morgan separated the shoulder of marlins catcher hayes with a vicious hit the the plate. clean play, but the marlins wouldn't forget it. last night, chris volstad plucked morgan. we're even, right? wrong. morgan then stole two bases and put florida up 11 runs. kind of an unwritten rule not to steal in such a blowout. morgan's next at-bat, volstad threw behind him and morgan charged the mound. first baseman gaby sanchez came in and clothes-lined him. the benches cleared, resulting in a massive dog pile. morgan got the worst of it when sanchez came flying in out of nowhere. as for the game, marlins won 16-10. >>> and the debut was just another day at the park. tracked down a chase utley fly ball, made

the giants are on their way and the manny ramirez the show as chicago is today. we're talking but this is today and at first on to show the a's. whenever a boxer is involved he comes first and right now they had a home run and it is 4-3 yankees. going into the 19th and manny ramirez is making his debut today and as i said yesterday to do one thing well in this world and you could do whatever you damn well please. many of hit today. ok, and 23 the white sox won. >> it would have been a home run i would have agreed with you. >> they play it 162 games young lady. >> laughter >> the check everybody into the lineup. this guy is really good. he will make the olympic team. some of these guys are just holding it back. but la braun and carmelo are setting up tyson. therefore it and zero. pandy here about the football player hit by the truck? blairs and we can show this is because he was ok. this is to paul from iowa city and just hit by a truck. it looks much worse than it actually was. he was fine. the driver was cited for not yielding on making a left turn. this is what

last week the chicago white sox took a chance on manny ramirez. now they're riding a six game win streak after sweeping the red sox. we go to boston. chicago down to its final out of the ninth. rbi single to center tied it at 5. moments later, sacks full and the white sox took the lead, went on to win it 7-5 for their first sweep at fenway in 19 years. >>> rangers and twins. texas down two. sacks full in the ninth. vladimir guerrero, ground ball. hudson saw michael young wandering, got him to end the game. but here's the controversy. the umpire called him out because he touched his third base coach. he can't do that. it's called runner interference. ball game over. here's the replay. looked like he was right. a very slight touch, none the less, they made contact. rangers loss in a bizarre finish. to florida, a high fly to center. incredible grab. however, two runs tag on the play and tied the game at six. stayed that way until the tenth. scott cousins had never had a major league hit until now. walkoff for the rookie. he'll remember that forever.

manny ramirez is just browsing. and no chance to hit it and cahill wins his 17th. pennington with the drive and he bangs into the sign. trying to score from first and pennington ends up with a triple and the a's go on with a victory. the 49ers did some good things against the saints last night, but they did enough bad things to lose the game and wind up o and two. the next two games are on the road. a ghastly start against the world champions. the niners turned the ball over three times deep in new orleans territory. squandered opportunities. but alex smith lead them down the field. a magnificent drill to tie the game. the saints would answer with a late field goal to end it 25-22. with games coming up at kansas city which is very loud. the niners need to start winning and soon. >> they are learning very available things early on. i believe they will capitalize and it will coof going forward. -- it will serve going forward. >> they work hard up and down the field. they can't stand up with us. we beat ourselves. we got to change that. >> the 40 nipers will host the

the genie is not back in the bottle, when we have manny ramirez losing one-third of the season for testing positive for something, and baseball has finally woken up and said we need to get the house in order and that 50 home run season, praise the lord, is back to being a rarity. tavis: with this sequel, to perhaps look at the steroids era with more compassion? i am trying to juxtapose the notion of cheating with compassion. >> yeah, well, one has to be very careful. therefore, we as filmmakers, and by extension you end of the worst, it is a fine line. we were aware of this at all times. -- and by extension you and viewers, it is a fine line. we are aware of that. wheat really delved into the complicated biography of barry bonds. he is not just the straw man for this. he is an amazingly interesting human being, good and bad. his father's biography is important to know because, of course, we are influenced by our fathers. his godfather is willie mays, and his whole story in baseball is interesting and complicated, and we tend to reduce it to the most superficial level. while you are not loo

manny ramirez, did not start for the white sox. but on-deck in the top of the ninth. tied at 1-1.i, 0 for 3 to this point. how about a three-run shot? his seventh of the year. white sox up 3-1. manny gets pulled. the other n.l. west castoff, edwin jackson, in the bottom half. jason donald with a single. so, two come home. indians, down just one. bobby jenks, on to close it out. runners on first and second. michael brantley, right back to jenks. he'll take care of it. manny doesn't play. it doesn't matter. white sox win, 4-3. still four back of the twins in the a.l. central. >>> that's a look at your espn news update. i'm steve weissman. back to you in new york. >>> and now, to the athlete who apparently has the most luxurious locks in the whole world. >> that's what they say. pittsburgh steelers safety troy polamalu, is being called the man with the $1 million hair. that's how much his nearly three-feet-long dreds there have been insured for. head & shoulders shampoo, which polamalu endorses, took out the policy from lloyds of london. polamalu says he wears his hair long as a trib

. >>> in the american league, manny ramirez finally got into the lineup for the white sox, but woundthe game big blow from on deck as paul konerko hit a game-winning three-run homer. the sox beat the indians 6-4. >>> now to the u.s. open and a scary moment on the court. half an hour into her first match of the day, victoria azaranka of belarus wobbled and then she collapsed. she was taken off in a wheelchair and later explained she hit her head in a warm-up session. well, it turns out she had a concussion. >>> when we return, another look at this morning's top stories. >>> and taxing decisions. the debate over whether to extend tax cuts for the wealthy. extend tax cuts for the wealthy. if you fight to sleep in the middle of the night, why go one more round ? you don't need a rematch, but a rethink. with lunesta. lunesta is thought to interact with gaba receptors associated with sleep. lunesta helps you get the restful sleep you need. lunesta has some risk of dependency. when taking lunesta, don't drive or operate machinery until you feel fully awake. walking, eating, driving or engag

on the dodgers side of the coin now, their dramatic storylines, no more manny ramirez. a few days ago picked off the waiver wire by the chicago white sox. the big buzz here in los angeles, not just today but the last few days, last few weeks has been the high-profile divorce case between the dodgers owner frank mccourt and his wife. one article today "the l.a. times" suggested they would spend a combined $21 million in divorce fees in terms of legal fees. what's the matter at hand? almost like a custody battle. they are fighting over this team their los angeles dodgers. a lot of drama for this franchise. it's on shaky ground. ima i sure giants fans don't mind that much. let's play baseball. a few minutes from now, giants and dodgers here on nbc bay area. >> see new a few minutes. as for a's, good news tonight, they are no longer in new york. after falling victim to a four-game sweep at the hands of the defending champs, oakland is back home. gonzalez takes the hill for the home team. if you have not heard of nyjer morgan before, last sunday likely changed all that. all

manny ramirez is out of the giants division waived by the dodgers and tonight a member of the chicagohite sox. he did the whole welcome press conference in spanish saying he just feels more comfortable speaking in his native language. ramirez was not in the starting lineup tonight with the white sox on the road in cleveland. let's talk some 49ers and with so many being made of quarterback alex smith benefiting from some consistency by having the same offensive coordinator two years straight for the first time in his career, you can't forget how it impacts the running game especially frank gore today. he talked about how he's impressed with early effort of the offensive line and he can't wait until the weapons of offense hit the field at the same time. gore didn't play in the preseason until this past saturday and was strong out the gate. here's how he spent the time leading up to this coming season. >> i watch some of the defense in the preseason like arizona, seattle, you know just to see how they look. i don't want to say but it's about us really. it's about what we do. and as long

stinstad strikeouts from paul konerko and manny ramirez ended the inning.ns broke the game open in the eighth. alex rios turned a short catch into a bases clearing double for the yard span. sox division title hopes are slipping further away. twins take game one of the series and now lead the division by 7 games. >>> the cubs continue to get strong efforts from their starting pitchers last night in st. louis. randy wells pitched eight solid innings allowing one run and had been traded at the plate with two hits and two rbis. xavier nady had the big night offensively driving in three runs and three hits. cubs win 7-2. boosting their record to 13-7 since mike took over as manager. >>> bear's line backer hunter hillenmeyer is out for the season. he became sick during sunday's game a few weeks after suffering a concussion the second of his career. the bears have put him on injured reserve. this is ironic because hunter hillenmeyer who is a guy who openly advocates player safety and agreed to donate his brain and spinal court tissue for research on head injuries.
