Driving home from work tonight I saw a Dodgers' billboard that said "Manny's Back!!!" that didn't take long, did it.

Somehow I think the other side says "Suck it Manny!"

Here we go :shakehead: [/list:u]Manny aggravates hamstring during spring training game[/list:u]PHOENIX (AP)—Manny Ramirez aggravated his sore left hamstring Sunday while playing the outfield for the first time this spring.

The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger was hurt in the fourth inning against Colorado while chasing a ball into the left-field corner. He finished the half-inning but was lifted for pinch-hitter Delwyn Young in the bottom half.

gItfs the same thing. When I was going to the line to cut off the ball on the double, I tried to push it and I felt it,h Ramirez said. gMaybe age is catching up with me.h

The 36-year-old Ramirez said he didnft know if the injury was severe enough that it would have kept him out of a regular-season game.

Yup, it's the rubber match. :sweat:

Team Japan up 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs.

The game's all tied up now...

Extra innings. :sweat:

EDIT: Darvish struck out the side... But not after giving up the tying run.

Darvish was erratic in the middle of that inning. A good team should take advantage of free bases.

Ichiro "Ball In Play" Suzuki gets a timely hit to give Japan the 5-3 lead.

Team Japan has just won its second World Baseball Classic championship! Omedeto!

YOSHAAAA~~~!!!! What a nail biter! The whole nation was watching this one. Ichiro is clutch and a hero. Omedetou Team Samurai Japan! :applaud:

'Bout time Ichiro got out of his slump. Got to give him credit, he came through in the clutch when he had to. And props to Korea, they didn't give up. Great game. :applaud: [/list:u] And as so oftens happens, Iwakuma pitched great and got nothing to show for it. Darvish was awful and still got the win. :crazy: [/list:u]

Yay!!! :woot: :dancing: :applaud:

That's two straight years for Japan...!!

Ichiro was clutch in that game... :victory:

Yeah, Iwakuma threw his heart out. I was rather surprised with Matsuzaka winning MVP. I would have given it to Aoki. There was some serious defensive gems by both teams. That sliding grab and throw to 2nd for the out by leftfielder Uchikawa was AMAZING. But the best play definitely for me was Ichiro's clutch hit. I think that was the greatest hit of his professional career. Ichiro SAIKO! :bow:

Ive been a fan of his since he played for Kintetsu. Anybody that can win 21 games pitching for Rakuten has GOT to be good! :victory: [/list:u][image][/list:u]
