Manny not talking

Manny Ramirez won’t be talking to reporters during his 10-game minor league stint, which begins tonight when he plays for the Dodgers Triple-A team in Albuquerque. The Dodgers’ slugger, who is serving a 50-game suspension for violating MLB’s drug policy will make no public comments until he comes off suspension July 3.

Incidentally, Ramirez will bat lead-off tonight in an effort to get him as many at bats as possible. Fans can listen live here or watch live here.

Each of Ramirez’s at-bats on tonight can be seen live on ESPNEWS. First pitch is at 6:05 p.m.
