NEW YORK -- The Marlins are awaiting the results of an MRI that was performed on Hanley Ramirezs injured left shoulder on Wednesday, and it remains uncertain whether he will miss the rest of the season. Ramirez took himself out of a rehab game with Single A Jupiter on Tuesday because of discomfort in the shoulder and returned to Miami for a medical evaluation. The Marlins had been hoping that Ramirez, who has been out since early August with a sprained shoulder, could rejoin the team Friday. Now those plans have been shelved. Ramirez was hitting just .243 when he injured the shoulder diving for a ball on Aug. 2. Despite a poor season, his impact on the team is reflected in its record. When Ramirez has been in the lineup, the Marlins have gone 50-39. When hes been absent, they are 10-35. Home run derby No Marlin has ever won a home run title.

Oscar De La Hoya has confirmed what those in boxing have known for some time - he was addicted to drugs and alcohol and he cheated on his wife.

He also said in his darkest moments he considered suicide. "Rock bottom was recently," he said. "Within a couple of years, just thinking if my life was even worth it. I don't have the strength, I don't have the courage to take my own life but I was thinking about it." The tarnished Golden Boy. This is all poignant stuff, played out before a television audience. While confession may be good for the soul, it doesn't

While people like Thomas Beatie are clamoring for a spot on Dancing With The Stars, theres one person who wont do the show and thats Queen Latifah . And why not?!? Because shes actually a real celebrity, thats why. The show has become quite the punchline for the network, after claiming that they were seeking out bigger named celebrities to compete for the mirror ball trophy. Usually D-listers and people weve never heard of use the show to make themselves more known. An insider said, She thought it would be a career downturn. She didnt believe she needs it, even though she is a fan of the show. Shes absolutely right, too. Why go from being a movie star and all-around funny lady, just to appear on a reality dancing competition? It would be a career downturn. However, she would have made the show fun to watch.dont you agree?
