Manny Ramirez homered in the second inning of the Dodgers' 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday. One inning later, Ramirez was ejected by home plate Doug Eddings after striking out. Ramirez struck on three pitches, the first two called strikes, one of which appeared to be inside. After swinging and missing to end the inning, he flung his bat and helmet near the plate. "I told him I thought it was a ball," Ramirez said. "Then I threw my helmet, and he threw me out. It's OK. He's human. He's not a machine." Manny was tossed for the second time this season, and Los Angeles manager Joe Torre felt as though he got the boot rather quickly. "I think it was just too quick a trigger," Torre said. "You can fine somebody for throwing equipment, and you can throw them out. I asked [Eddings] if he cursed him, and he said no. I just wish more umpires, and he's a good umpire, he works hard, when they see an impending problem, would just turn around and walk away. "This game is a passionate game. It's something that needs to be taken into consideration, and I don't think they take it into consideration enough. I'm not saying the umpire should take abuse. But I think they should do what they can to keep from having to do what they did today."
