Manny disappears from minor-league game
New Mexico, welcome to Mannywood. The 15,083 fans who packed Isotopes Park on Thursday learned what it's like to be in this magical place, where only the unexpected can be expected. The standing-room-only crowd was treated to a disappearing act by Manny Ramirez, who was never in sight once the gates of the ballpark opened because Dodgers management didn't want him to risk playing on a soaked outfield. Forty minutes into a pregame rain delay that lasted 54 minutes, Ramirez and his friend, Rico Perdomo, exited the back door of the Albuquerque Isotopes' clubhouse and stepped into a car driven by Ray Maytorena, the Dodgers' head of security. "No thank you, sir," Ramirez told reporters as he ducked into the back seat of the car.

WOW, this gets more unbelievable as it goes. i bet if he was in the majors he would have played on a wet field. Refunds for everyone that came to the ballpark to see this loser play half speed and with no heart

Manny being Manny.. But I understand the Dogers outlook on this. he has already missed 50 games so they don't want nothing else to happen.

Every time I think about getting a little interested in baseball again, I see some story about this idiot and I change my mind. I really can't stand the the guy.

Am I missing something here? The Dodgers didn't want him to play because of the soaked field and we have people on here blaming Manny? Talk about a joke. There is plenty of blame for Manny but please tell me what was he suppose to do? I guess people wanted him to ignore the Dodgers and take the field.

All those fans should get raincheck tickets for the next game then. They only came to see Manny.
