BOSTON (AP) -Manny Ramirez strolled into the middle of the clubhouse with a bat in his hand and smile on his face Friday, ready to put his dugout dustup with teammate Kevin Youkilis as far away as some the 503 career homers he’s hit.
“It’s in the past,” he said of his brief spat with Youkilis in Thursday’s 7-1 victory over Tampa Bay. “It’s a new day.”
TV cameras showed Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis being separated after exchanging words in the dugout at the end of the fourth inning. Ramirez pointed at Youkilis before being escorted down the runway toward the clubhouse by trainer Paul Lessard and a few players.
Later in the game, NESN, the team’s broadcast network, showed grainy footage of Ramirez apparently taking a swipe at Youkilis.
Ramirez was not listed in Friday’s starting lineup, saying his right knee has been sore.
