Ramirez ejected

Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez has been ejected from today's game against the Rangers by home-plate umpire Paul Emmel.

Ramirez was called out on strikes and as he left the batter's box he said something to Emmel. Put it this way, you don't have to be a good lip reader to figure out what Ramirez said.

It's the fourth time in his career he's been tossed. Joe Thurston is now playing left field.

Manager Terry Francona said earlier today that he was planning to give Ramirez Monday off. We'll see if that holds true now.
