ESPN reported that Dodger Manny Ramirez will be restricted to hitting after injuring his left hamstring during Sunday’s game against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Joe Torre admitted that it was a mistake to play his star slugger in the outfield who signed a two-year contract for $45 million on March 4. Ramirez who is ready to get back on the field will not return “until his soreness is completely gone.”

The OC Register led with UCLA’s tough look ahead into the big NCAA tournament. After losing to USC, the Bruins need to get in the right mindset if they plan on winning and
making it any further. Some key tips for the Bruins: 1. Jrue Holiday needs to find his mojo.
Holiday is the team’s second best dribbler and play maker, “but his confidence is shot.” Averaging 27 minutes a game, Holiday’s performance on the court has not been living up to his name.
2. Four of these players need to step up.
The article went on to say that "forward Josh Shipp is playing the best basketball of his career. Point guard Darren Collison was UCLA's most consistent player. And center Alfred Aboya and forward Nikola Dragovic made the most of their opportunities and found ways to complement the first two." UCLA played Holiday in addition to four of its veteran players who haven't made the impact that the Bruins need. Substitutions of one these players just might be what the Bruins need.
3. They must respect their opponent.
UCLA played its opponents as if they knew they were going to win. They should come prepared to play as if they are playing the number one team in the nation.
The LA Times led with Cal State Northridge's big dilemma regarding the team's star player. Jeffrey Braswell, son of coach Bobby Braswell had to appear in court for felony theft and burglary charges Sunday morning. Jeffrey Braswell invited friends to his Best Buy job on New Year's Day and used another employee's security code to check out items amounting more than $6,600. The Matador's leading scorer Deon Tresvant was also involved in the case and will join younger Braswell to watch their team from home. "It's very devastating," Tresvant said. "I'd love to be with my team, but at this point, I can't."The guys deserve it. At the same time, I wish I was out there."
