Gutierrez, a 15-year-old baseball fan, didn't mince words when asked about Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez. "He's a cheater," Gutierrez said. "But I still want to see him play." Gutierrez and his father, Julian, were among a steady stream of fans who lined up four- and five-deep at the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes' box office Monday to buy tickets for this week's series against Nashville. (Each of Ramirez's at-bats on Tuesday can be seen live on ESPNEWS. First pitch is at 9:05 p.m. ET.) Ramirez is preparing to return from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug rules. He is eligible to be reinstated on July 3, when the Dodgers are in San Diego and agreed to a stint in the minors to ease back into form. "It's just a matter of competition," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said last weekend. "It's the idea of going out there and playing a game." Ramirez has no shortage of drawing power for the Dodgers' top farm team. Isotopes general manager John Traub said the 15,000-seat stadium is expected to sell out for Tuesday night's game, including outfield berm seating. Tickets for the remaining three games are going fast. Full article.
