The other site is not working well today.
Seems to be back up now.

I agree, GAYLORD. I was thinking about going to the Red Sox game on Thursday @ noon, but the forecast calls for 50º and rain.

But it's a light rain. I think they will get the game in. Otherwise, it will be a DH tomorrow. They already have a nooner scheduled.

Manny Ramirez has announced his retirement, according to a statement released by Major League Baseball.

Ramirez, who was suspended for 50 games in 2009 for violating MLB's drug policy, was recently notified that there was a new issue relating to the policy.

"Rather than continue with the process under the program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player," the statement says. "If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter."

Ramirez was 1-for-17 with the Tampa Bay Rays this season, his first after signing as a free agent. He finishes his 19-year career with 555 home runs, 1,831 RBI and a .312 average.
