It's a shame that today's game wasn't aired nationally, at least not
out here in California. Not even on my digital cable station! I can't
believe I missed not one, but TWO of his home runs! Bummer! At least
I'll be able to see the highlights on Baseball Tonight. The man can't
be stopped! Go Manny! Go Red Sox!

MIAMI (AP) -- Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez got the 2,000th hit of
his career Saturday night, a three-run home run off Brian Moehler in
the first inning against the Florida Marlins.

Ramirez is the 18th active player to hit the mark, joining the club
that Garret Anderson of the Los Angeles Angels reached earlier
Saturday. Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees also got his 2,000th
career hit earlier this season on May 26.

The 34-year-old Ramirez, in his 13th major league season, has managed
at least 149 hits in 11 consecutive years. He entered Saturday with a
.313 career average, and is on pace for his 10th season of hitting at
least .300.

"Doesn't look like he's slowing down," Red Sox manager Terry Francona
said. "He's just a phenomenal hitter and will probably continue to be
phenomenal. As long as he's healthy, I don't see him slowing down."

Ramirez is the 241st player in major league history with at least
2,000 hits. He reached the milestone after connecting on a 2-2 pitch
for his 21st home run of the year, a 382-foot shot to right field.

In the sixth, Ramirez added a two-run home run that gave him 129
career RBIs in interleague play -- two behind Carlos Delgado of the
New York Mets for the most all-time.
