BALTIMORE - Just another Manny being Manny moment.

The happy-go-lucky Manny Ramirez high-fived a fan in the seats after making a dazzling catch deep in left-center in the fourth inning. Then he bounced off the wall and hit cutoff man Dustin Pedroia, whose relay to first trapped off the Orioles' Nick Markakis for your basic eye-popping, did-I-see-what-I-just-saw double play.

The play, sure to be a highlight-reel staple for years to come, began with Kevin Millar's long drive with runners at first and second and one out.

Somehow, Ramirez managed to get to the ball, reaching out his glove for the outstanding catch. His momentum took him two running steps to the seven-foot fence.

He jumped up to brace himself against the wall, and as he did so, there was a fan in a white Red Sox T-shirt right there, sitting in the first row. Manny's momentum carried him above the wall. He slapped a quick five with the fan and then, Spiderman-like, jumped off the fence, landed in the field and fired the ball in.

Ramirez's play brought chuckles of amazement.

"With Manny, you see something new every day," said bench coach Brad Mills, filling in again for manager Terry Francona (death in the family). "Someone in the dugout said, 'I've seen it all now.' It was a great catch and he did a good job of hitting the cutoff man."

"It was fun," said Ramirez. with a smile. "I love it."

Crisp still ailing

Coco Crisp was out of the starting lineup because of migraine-like symptoms that forced him out of Tuesday night's game in the sixth inning. Crisp had a headache and was vomiting. He wasn't feeling well enough to either start or enter yesterday's game late.

Drew feeling better

J.D. Drew, who hyperextended his left wrist in an unsuccessful attempt to make a diving catch Tuesday night, said he was "encouraged" by how his wrist felt yesterday morning. He said he hoped to be able to play this weekend, hoping he doesn't have to be put on the DL.

"There's still a little problem with the rotational aspect of it so we'll get some treatment on it and see how it goes. I think it might take a day or two and then it can be something I can play through. I broke my ulna (bone in his left wrist) with the Dodgers (2005), so I don't know if maybe I dislodged some scar tissue in there," said Drew.

Lugo to be examined

Julio Lugo, who suffered a mild concussion in a baseline collision in Minnesota last Friday night, will see a specialist in Boston today during the team's day off.

"I have a headache, some pressure in the back of my head. That's why they're worried," said Lugo. "They're going to check my head. They'll find out all sorts of wrong stuff back in there." joked Lugo.

And he's off . . .

Jacoby Ellsbury served as his own personal nightmare for Orioles shortstop Freddie Bynum.

In the first, Bynum learned the hard way how fast Ellsbury is. Ellsbury hit a two-hopper to short leading off the game. Bynum hung back on the ball instead of charging it and Ellsbury beat his accurate throw to first by an eye-lash for an infield single on a routine bouncer.

Then Ellsbury promptly stole second, his 15th of the year. He hasn't been caught in his first 23 stolen-base attempts, the longest such streak to start a career since Montreal's Tim Raines swiped 27 from 1979-1981.

Bynum didn't have a chance to throw out Ellsbury on his bouncer up the middle in the third. Bynum fielded it, but, moving to his left as he threw, he bounced a weak throw to first so Ellsbury had a second infield single.

Ellsbury wasn't able to steal this time, though. Dustin Pedroia fouled off a pitch when he was on the move, and then Bynum made a nice play up the middle on a Pedroia grounder in starting an inning-ending double play.

But Ellsbury had his way with Bynum again in the fifth. As Bynum went to cover the bag on Van Every's stolen-base attempt, Ellsbury laced a perfect hit-and-run single past the hole Bynum vacated. Bynum stopped running to the bag and tried to dive back for the ball, but wasn't able to corral it, making the personal score Ellsbury 3, Bynum 0.

Moss in Fort Myers

Brandon Moss, who had an appendectomy on May 3, is in Fort Myers, able to participate in full baseball activities. He has yet to appear in an extended spring game.
