The Chicago White Sox claimed Manny Ramirez off waivers on Friday and will finalize the deal later today, making Ramirez’ sixth inning ejection from yesterday’s LA-Colorado game his last at-bat as a Dodger.
Umpire Gary Cederstrom gave Ramirez the hook after Manny questioned a strike call on what looked like an outside pitch by Rockies reliever Matt Reynolds. There’s a good chance Man-Ram wanted to get thrown out but it’s also possible Cederstrom is boys with John Hirschbeck.

“Is that an automatic out?” “yep.” Idiots.
