ramirez.> a mix of boos and cheers. top of the first. first time up, a walk, and that would set up a five-run first inning for the dodgers. top of the second, manny grounds out to second. that play ends the inning. next at-bat for manny, top of the fourth, a 6-0 ballgame now, he will bounce out to shortstop. manny 0-2 with a walk in the ninth thus far. top sixth now. manny up with a runner on second. this time he will pop out to second. his night would end. juan pierre comes in for defensive purposes. ramirez 0-3 with a walk in his first game back from his 50-game suspension. >> this night all about manny ramirez. how did you feel? >> i was kind of nervous, not having played in two months but i didn't put a lot of things on my mind. i know it was going to be crazy, but thanks to the fans from l.a., they made it so easy for me to go and play. >> how did it feel in the >> i thought he was ok. the first-inning walk was amazing when you consider a 2-2 count and he worked a walk, i would be a littl

ramirez. >> manny is a different type of player. he's a happy-go-lucky -- ever since he went from cleveland to boston, he created this image of this guy that's just -- has no worry, he's just happy, out there just having fun, forgets how many outs there are, throws the ball in the stands and he's a clown, but in a good way and i love manny like a brother. so i wouldn't want anyone. i wouldn't want him to feel the way i felt when i was going through it and i am glad people see it in a different way and they're celebrating his return because he means so much to the dodgers. >> blue jays' first visit to the new yankee stadium, joe girardi and the yanks trying to get back on the winning track, alex -- bottom eighth, yanks up 1. alex rodriguez the solo homer to right, his 14th of the season and the yanks victorious. they've won 8-9. a-rod's 567th career homer leaves him two shy of rafael palmeiro for 10th place all time. the blue jays now 1-3 against the yanks this year. >> manny's former team, the

now ramirez will bat. coghlan to third. and i don't care if first base is occupied or not and knowing bonifacio, he will probably try to steal second base here, forgetting who is batting. hanley ramirez cannot get anything good to hit in this at- bat, do you agree? >> rob: i agree. if you challenge him, challenge him up and in with fastballs or down away with very good sliders but you try to pitch around him. you have ross gload right behind him. >> bob: yeah, give me ross gload any time instead of hanley ramirez. i don't know if he is left handed or not. third base camera guy must be stealing signs. he knew that zimmerman was going to make that move. 6-of-9. he went right after him and that ball slicing foul. >> rob: you remember zimmerman's start against the red sox. when he got in a jam, he blew them away and he needs to do the exact same thing here with the florida marlins. if you're going to get beat, get beat with your hard stuff. don't go with the breaking ball. >> bob: up and in, good pitch. and hanley ramirez is no

here is ramirez.ry: 21 home runs last year, he comes over -- or out of cuba, and has a terrific rookie year. what was greg walker telling you in orlando cabrera a big influence on him, now playing with oakland, but took him a while to get on track. last year played second, this year playing short stop, and can play the outfield, can play all over. >> gary: he's already got 26 walks, 7 more than his entire total from last year, only had 18 all year. here is the 1-0 delivery. that will be taken inside, and a 2-0 count. al pers is having his problems with the streak zone. -- strike zone. >> jim: well, it's about release point. i'm sure matt is going to try to make an adjustment. >> gary: the white sox up. one-run ball game. throw by wieters, not in time, big jump for podsednik. he get this stolen base. >> jim: yeah, he might as well hold on to this one, the jump is so huge. again, a big lead. look at that acceleration. and then the ball up and in, so you have to catch it. nice transfer, and the throw on

hanley ramirez is 0-2 tonight.ifacio with a base hit and a fly ball to left. >> rob: longest outing was against the yankees 6 1/3 innings. >> bob: and a pitch up hit well suzukis back. i think coghlan would have had a chancetotag had he gone back to first base quicker. hy do move one runner up.sti% bonifacio trying to move the runners along in a you're down hits a fly ball deep center he little guy like that is not going to hit a ball out of center field here in florida, so it only moved up one runner is still in order. >> bob: yeah, nats happy to >> rob: absolutely.base there.   >> bob: hanley ramirez has hit into only two double plays this year, ad both runnersmoved up, first base open, you might give it a fleeting thought about -- >> rob: yeah, cantu can tie it with one swing of the bat. i'm sure steve mccatty is saying this guy can hurt you, but pitch him carefully, get him out. you're up here to get people out. if you only get one and you give up a run on a fly ball to hanley ramirez,

and ramirez used to be a leadoff guy. he still does some running, not as much as he used to but he has stolen 12 bases this year in 19 attempts. outs of play to the left side. dan uggla has done no damage in this series. 3-for-9 with a couple of singles. he is another one of those guys you make a mistake and they put one over the scoreboard before you know it. >> rob: well, bob, you have a new toy. we go back home and play on thursday, our new x-mo or newly updated x-mo camera will basically be 7,000 frames per second. >> bob: you are kidding me? >> rob: nope. we will be able to break down the player even more. >> bob: 7,000? >> rob: yep. >> bob: man! is it okay if we do that on friday, not thursday? >> rob: you do that on friday? >> bob: i don't want you to show up on thursday looking for the x-mo. friday when we return against the braves. we are there. the x mo will follow. >> bob: it's been a wonderful teaching tool for rob and some of the guys in our ball club and i think that's a fully entertaining addition to masn a

jump up and pick it up and hanley ramirez cannot hold on to it right here.o the more we run, i think the better chance of winning ball games we're going to have because you can manufacture runs and it makes the catcher and pitcher worry about your team speed. that's one of the reaps why nyjer -- one of the reasons why nyjer morgan is now on the nationals. >> bob: i'm thinking that's a 1-1 count for ed rapuano. do you think that willie harris is sending a message to manny acta? and manny said, regarding to willie harris, he said, believe me, this guy will play. he will get a lot of innings. he understands his role on his team with nyjer morgan coming on board. manny is adamant that nyjer will lead off and playing centerfield starting friday. >> rob: and there are others who are not playing and swinging the bat as well as willie. and willie needs to understand that. he is going to play infield position, outfield position but nyjer morgan's speed and versatility in the line-up will put him at centerfield almost every day. >> bob: elijah dukes now sent back to a

hanley ramirez carrying this ball club. let's go down to south florida and we'll go talk tobob carpenter and rob dibble. when you face a guy like hanley ramirez, you know if he is not going to knock your lights out, he'll do some damage to you. >> ray: we have not been in a situation to pitch around him. bob mentioned runners on first and third, maybe not pitching to that guy. listen, the ballgame dictates that. if that is the hottest hitter in the league, he and pujols -- and ramirez is not quite what pujols is yet but he is what alex rodriguez is. he is going to be that. i think he is just as strong. he is faster. this kid is a special. >> . >> bob: . >> johnny: younger. >> ray: he is a younger player. but this kid does a lot of things that many people don't do. dibbs talks about it. you don't hit the ball that way. only occasionally. that's a big man's ballpark. happen lee was leading off and they put him in the 3 hole and he responded by being a big rbi guy. if he has runners in scoring position, he runs an r before i t

it's under ramirez! ramirez will -- wimg willingham will stop. bases are roaded with craig stammen coming up. so, nats use the hard infield here to get a couple of top spin ground balls to go through. >> rob: with the pitcher coming up right here, i would have challenged the throw. sneaks right through there. willingham off with the pitch. it was a bad throw on top of it. >> bob: see if stammen can put the bat on the ball. he's had a perfect night with a walk. now, how about that first career rbi?   he misses low. sometimes pitchers will aim the ball against other pitchers. there's our base bunch. willingham walked. he's at third. dukes singled. nieves singled. so, nats have something going here as they try to take the lead in the top of the fourth. stammen goes to right center! that will drive in a couple! willingham and dukes come home! over to third, nieves! the nationals lead 3-1 on craig stammen's first two major league rbi's. >> rob: well, i stand corrected. paint me stupid. stammen goes up there an

the papers believe that any in deal, ramirez would have to go in that trade. as far as this current roster, they would late to lose him. beck system a shortstop so they would move him from third over to short. >> josh fields, there's moore to make an easy play. >> final game of this 3-game sere rose and the o -- series, and the o's have lost the last two. two home runs for the white sox. >> they out hit him. unfortunate ly ly, two of the hits was a grand slam. the guy that steps to the plate hit a 2-run home run after the error. >> this was a game-changer. it should have been two outs and nobody on and they were out of control and he couldn't stop the bleeding and 4 runs were on the board. >> dave talked about it and maybe he rushed a little bit. brad is only 23 years old. it's a new experience for him. i thought personally when you face good hitters, you have 319 lifetime homeruns and konerko is up and he's in the hole and has 315. there's a lot of power in this line skpup you better pitch differently. what happened yesterday, the third time up, after the err

. >> 3 weeks later we have david ortiz and manny ramirez. it's the union's choice and they would be against it. it's the union that mishandled the situation in the first place. these names never should have come out. they should have been destroyed. this was already will 5% of the players test positive? it says something about the culture and the arrogance. they knew when the tests were coming and 7% tested positive. one of the dumbest things in the history of sports. >> who is to plame for the steroids era? >> well, i don't think it's the commissioner's office. maybe the owners looked the other way because they wanted the home runs. mark mcgwire built a ballpark and barry bonds did in san francisco. but i think everybody looked the other way. the players were not tested. it was part of a baseball culture that was away from the field. canseco exaggerated. he was right about a lot of stuff. he exaggerated about what went on in the lockers rooms. but at the same time, everyone looked the other way. one of the most touching things was kevin cow

. >> bob: hanley ramirez batting with the bases empty.he would love to drive himself in. 12-for-his last 18 with 15 rbis going back two series encompassing six games at tampa bay and here against the nats. how about that? he is very talented. that's a good pitch. a real good pitch. >> rob: 1-1 pitch track right here. this is just gasoline. gets called. >> bob: 2-2 now. nothing wrong with that one. >> rob: not at all. >> bob: for a guy who is feeling cozy and comfortable. >> rob: it's about time to make those guys a little uncomfortable. >> bob: we only had to wait until july 1st to see that pitch in the ballpark here. and he just missed away. >> rob: he is a little bit gassed. >> bob: the bullpen not throwing yet. >> rob: i'm surprised. he is at 90 pitches. >> bob: do sometimes they pay too much attention to what they see in the radar gun and maybe not enough of what you are actually seeing from the guy out there. >> rob: steve mccatty is an excellent pitching coach and manny acta. they know the kid. we just get a little bit more close-up

. >> this night all about manny ramirez.d you feel? >> i was kind of nervous, not having played in two months but i didn't put a lot of things on my mind. i know it was going to be crazy, but thanks to the fans from l.a., they made it so easy for me to go and play. >> how did it feel in the clubhouse? >> it felt great. at first, when i was in triple-a in april, feel kind of weird, but once i saw all the guys and i got into the game mood, it was good. >> just to recap manny's night at the plate, he finished 0-3 with a walk before being pulled in the sixth inning for juan pierre. first inning he hits a walk. followed that with consecutive groundouts and a popout. eric young, how did you feel about the return of manny? >> with all the hoopla surrounding manny's return to the los angeles dodgers, you expected fireworks to happen. however, you saw a manny ramirez that was a little rusty from the layoff. he was very patient in the first at-bat. however, he became impatient and started swinging at balls out of the zone. we know the

ramirez wouldn't last the whole game.ot happy with a call, dropped his bat, tossed his protective gear. watch closely as it landed near the umpire who threw manny out of the game. dodgers won 8-0. gone scoreless in 22 consecutive innings. it took 11 innings to decide a winner between the blue jays and the rays. a two run walkoff homer. snapping a four-game st. louis losing streak. another huge day for lance armstrong at the tour de france. seven-time champ moves into second place. according to reports, he will remain head coach of the national team. a formal replacement to be made later this month. watch as a brazilian player flipped the ball over his shoulder, over the goalie and tapped it in with his head. the fancy footwork caught the keeper off guard. one of the best goals you will ever see. one fan wasn't all shook up during a wild play in the fifth. freel smashed against the dugout roof. a spectator caught the broken bat while talking on the phone. that is certainly multitasking. that's your early look at sports on

ramirez rushed to it but couldn't grab it. >> contreras was going down towards home and ramirez can'thandle it either. the o's continue their trend early on here getting a base runner in each inning. the o's have 3 this afternoon with base hits. contreras is altering the delivery to the plate. >> gregg is on with three homeruns. what you hope here is there will be a distraction because of the three stolen bases. maybe he'll make a mistake. they play shallow in outfield. rye mold has the speed to score. eymold has the speed to score. reymold is a very good base hitter. he has those long strides. reymold makes the turn and will hold it at second base. >> we talked so much about left-handed hitters taking advantage of that avenue into right field with runners being held on. gregg does exactly that, just kind of a routine grab. the first baseman is holding reymold at the base. nice hitting. it's another chance. as for location, we use used to play across the street and they had a lot of left-hand hitters. that's what they do. they look for a ball to hit into right field. you better comman

up, hanging breaking ball, down and away, supposed to be there but it was up and away and hanley ramirez smacked it into right field. hopefully jordan zimmerman can locate a little bit better here in the bottom of the 4th inning but josh johnson removed from the game. good opportunity here for the nationals. uggla striking out first time up for the marlins. that fastball up. willie harris drifting, drifting and catching it about 395 feet away. you know, what the change-up and the breaking ball are a little up in the zone today so go with more fastballs. >> bob: everybody late. >> rob: everybody late, maybe work on the two-seamer, talks on putting a little pressure point on it, taking something off of it. he has such a great arm and a great fastball he does not even need the other pitches. >> bob: and taking care of that one, anderson hernandez. bases empty two outs. cody ross the hitter. nats very much in this game still, obviously. and all day long now, they have to get something going against several florida relief pitchers. >> rob: if these kids weren't here, they would have been abou

ramirez forced to leave in the third. ramirez later sent to a hospital for precautioner x-rays which were negative. he's day to day. germany voigt took a nasty spill out of nowhere. he lost consciousness. had to be helicoptered to a local hospital. his tour is is likely after. lance armstrong still in second place behind contador. he said he found a new american sponsor next year. he will likely ride again in 2010. that's an early look at sports on "early today." i'm fred roggin. >>> you will not believe by mary kate and ashley allison are being saluted. . >>> plus, we'll take a look at one young man who is rock steady in more ways than one. you're watching "early today." >>> well, welcome back on this wednesday morning. earlier i had a little computer issue. said sunshine for louisville. trust me, it's not going to be sunny. it is raining. bring your umbrella for indiana, ohio and also all of -- mostly kentucky and tennessee. we have rain out there. going to be a cool more like a spring day in a lot of areas. cincinnati,

ram ramirez trying to keep him close.m dunn fouls it away and quickly 0-2. 24 out of the last 27, the marlins. yep. >> rob: the marlins have beaten the nationals 24 out of the last 27 meetings. >> bob: it's not been easy for the last three years watching this. i tried to warn you. >> rob: with the graphic? >> bob: we're going to have to start putting some kind of rating on these games. >> rob: by the way, whoever puts microphone around home plate and by there, you can hear the catcher sliding across the diamond. that's a pretty good job by our crew. very nicely done. 1 ball, 2 strikes to dunn. 2-2. this is becoming one of those at-bats where the pitches are around the plate. adam dunn knows what's a ball and what's a strike but, sometimes, he doesn't get the call and rob and i would love to see him wail at something that he sees close enough to reach. not easy against a lefty like this. 3-2. >> rob: tried to throw him a change-up right there which is a dangerous pitch so he tried to locate it down and on the ground. he is

oh, by the way, so far no manny ramirez.nnings, perhaps he could see a pinch hitting scenario. joe torre said he wanted to give him a chance to rest his legs. how rested can he be? he had 50 games off. so far 6-6 tp of the tenth. astros/giants. randy johnson. hoping to avoid a three game sweep to the giants. randy johnson swinging. oh, look at that. injures his pitching shoulder swinging the bat. another reason nl should implement the dh. he would stay in the game from there but then goes out to pitch. just not gonna happen. johnson pitching so well. began 3-4. 5-1. made a mess of it here. trying to throw to first. astros lead 4-0. you can see the shoulder there bothering johnson. he was 5-1 last eight starts. in the eighth. achen. one earned six ks. astros go on to win. >>> tour de france. stage two. 186 kilometers. three sprints. four climbs. lance in tenth to the day. staying with the pack. staying with his teammates. just past the midway point. he would finish the day staying at tenth overall 40 seconds behind the leader

manny acta said, listen, single, single, fly ball, pitch to hanley ramirez. obviously, he didn't compt a fastball and all that stuff to happen, but you've got to get people out. you can't have starters that can't get through the lineup three times in the major leagues. that's more so in tonight's -- tonight's ballgame, that's showing steve mccatty and manny acta some stuff on craig stammen. when you're evaluating your future starting rotation, those are some of the things that are going into it. >> bob: yeah. fastball in there to cantu. >> rob: now to get back to this kid that was starter, converted to reliever and now he's trying to keep himself in the major leagues. these are the kind of situations that, hey, you come into a ballgame right here. you're up a run. you want to keep it right there and press your manager. >> bob: that's going to be the tying run on base as cantu goes to the wall in left center. >> rob: a lost guys are playing for jobs right now. fighting for jobs. you want to win all these ballgames. more importantly, you want to impress some pe
