Manny Ramirez hits his first home run of the spring
Manny has officially left Camelback Ranch. He just belted a 1-1 pitch from Seattle's Ryan Rowland-Smith over the left field wall. Here in the press box we're calling it about 385 feet. It cleared the 345-fence, the bullpen behind it and hit the party deck where a bunch of well-dressed people are sitting down for dinner.
Here's a picture from the press box of Manny at the plate. It's a cell phone so it's really, really not much. But it gives you a sense of this place at night.




So much for being worried about Manny being a hits only guy??
What's up with Martin? We haven't seen him since the Canadians were knocked out of the WBC...
Martin HAS been playing. Not everyday, but he's been playing.
Martin is scheduled to make the trip for tommorrow's game against the Brewers
guess i missed the days Martin was playing.. seems like it's been all Azmus..
