Manny Ram&#xED;rez crushed a batting practice ball, sending it up about 12 rows into the seats in left-center field. He sent the next one a handful of rows into the seats in left. Then, on the final ball in his set, Ram&#xED;rez decimated the pitch, his swing propelling it near the spot where his 451-foot home run had ...

DENVER, July 3 â In his nine-month recovery from rotator cuff surgery, Pedro MartÃ­nez has reached each milepost slightly ahead of schedule. The Mets know better than to be surprised by anything he does, but do not confuse surprise with amazement.

With the Red Sox able to expand their roster with minor league call-ups starting Saturday, manager Terry Francona said it was unlikely the team would make a roster move for this afternoon's game against the Yankees to make up for the absence of left fielder Manny Ram&#xED;rez , who did not play last night and is expected ...

It was the changeup, Edwar RamÃ­rezâs out pitch, which has vaulted him to the majors only a year after his second stint with an independent league team.

If he's not traded, Red Sox fans will spend much of this winter at their favorite debate: Whither Manny Ram&#xED;rez?

Perhaps he was trying to be too fine with his pitches. Perhaps he was trying too hard to pinpoint his location. And perhaps Fausto Carmona wasn't being as aggressive as he should have been against the Red Sox in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.

Bobby Abreu is starting to feel better at the plate. Albert Pujols has been feeling pretty good all season.

Jeff Weaver says the potent St. Louis Cardinals lineup reminds him of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox batting orders. That&#39;s about the only New York comparison the former Yankee wants to summon tonight.

He enters a game now not to the menacing sound of Metallica. Mariano Rivera does that -- and Rivera is on the outside looking in. Keith Foulke needs no impending-doom tune to signal his arrival. His pitching seems to be working just fine.

Rats. I was pretty sure Manny Ram&#xED;rez was going to win the MVP award. Too bad he was topped by winner Justin Morneau, runner-up Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, and an ensemble cast of American League worthies.

Whether Alex Rodriguez or his agent, Scott Boras, is calling the shots, they are making a farce of the best player in baseball.

com. As manager Terry Francona put it before this American League Championship Series began: &quot;These guys just like to play ball.

Alex Rodriguezâs behavior on Wednesday was clever or childish, cunning gamesmanship or borderline cheating, or maybe something in between.

It demands a look. And a second look. And perhaps even a third. When 1.364 pops up in the on-base plus slugging category for the American League Championship Series, it brings to mind a true middle-of-the-order hitter. It brings to mind Manny Ram&#xED;rez (a gaudy 1.491), or David Ortiz (1.225). But, no, that number belongs to Kevin Youkilis, ...

Unlike most baseball owners, Arte Moreno has shown he knows a little something about public relations. He also seems to understand that perception is often just as important as reality.

Willie Randolph, who is still very much the Metsâ manager, said he had not been concerned about their effort late in games.
