It's 6:45, the game is roughly 25 minutes away ... it's time to check in with Manny Ramirez.
Wearing No. 99 and with his dreads hanging halfway down his back, Manny is in left field running sprints with Ronnie Belliard. He was booed when he popped his head out of the dugout.
UPDATE, 6:48 p.m.: Manny and Belliard are now in short center field taking to David Ortiz and Adrian Beltre. Papi had a hug for Manny when they split up to resume their sprints.
UPDATE, 6:50 p.m.: There are a lot of Dodgers fans here. There are hundreds of blue shirts behind the visitor's dugout. Mr. Dodger himself, Tommy Lasorda, has the primo seat next to the dugout.
UPDATE, 6:57 p.m.: Just received confirmation that Roger Clemens will be at the game tonight and sitting in the Monster Seats.
UPDATE, 7:00 p.m.: The Los Angeles lineup is being introduced. Manny's name got hat I would say were 60 percent boos.
