Marlins' Ramirez unsure of return
Hanley Ramirez tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep Wednesday night because he was worried. The reason? ''I knew right away I couldn't play [Thursday],'' Ramirez said Thursday, one day after injuring his right thumb while stealing second base. ``It hurts -- a lot.'' The shortstop wasn't in the starting lineup and said he wasn't sure when he would be able to play next. X-rays were negative, and the Marlins are calling it a bruise. Ramirez said he was injured when Giants catcher Bengie Molina's throw hit him in the hand as he slid headfirst into second base. Ramirez said the injured hand makes it difficult to hit and throw. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said the All-Star could be used as a pinch-runner. That doesn't leave Gonzalez many options off the bench because the Marlins are carrying three catchers. One of those, Paul Lo Duca, has a swollen finger on his left hand. Ivan Ochoa swung at Joe Nelson's pitchout Wednesday, striking the back of Lo Duca's mitt.

That first sentence sounds like you were being raped by a waterbuffalo....
You might want to take a look at the Mets starters before you embarrass yourself again. Anyway, where's the other Fish fan or is he getting his empty seat costume on for the game?

No offense, Legacy, but I just watched the Cardinal series when they were in Miami recently, and it looked like there were about 5,000 people there every night.

5,000 people is nothing...that is horrible actually. The average attendance of a major league game is over 30K people.
5,000 might as well be 3 people...

Each game was between 13,000 and 15,000 so you're both right. Small crowd but in a football stadium it looked even worse.

Agreed. He plays shortstop like they've laid 48 landmines between 2nd and 3rd base.

He will get traded. He is a star...if they do not win next year and don't feel like they will win soon...they will get rid of him for a group of top prospects. That is what they do with their stars.
