Manny Ramirez Missed Phillies' Rally While Showering in Locker Room Dodgers fans are having a hard time getting the image of Jimmy Rollins' game-winning, walk-off double in Game 4 of the NLCS out of their heads. One Dodgers player, however, hasn't had any trouble getting that image out of his head because he didn't even see it happen.

Guess which one.

Outfielder Manny Ramirez, who was taken out of Monday's game for defensive purposes, didn't remain in the dugout along with the rest of his teammates while the Phillies staged a 5-4, come-from-behind victory in the ninth inning. Ramirez was showering during the rally and didn't even see the end of Philadelphia's third win of the series.

When asked Tuesday about how surprised he was to see the Phils come back to win, Manny told reporters: "When I came out, they were turning the TVs off and everybody was coming in."

Dodgers' skipper Joe Torre doesn't consider Manny's actions to be disrespectful.

"Manny has so much confidence," Torre said. "When we get a lead late in the game, and I've taken him out, whether it be for defense or we have a big lead, when we go up to shake hands after the game, he's in his street clothes. So, it's really nothing different than he's done before. I don't think it's disrespect or anything. He wasn't going anywhere until the game was over, and we can't put him back in the game."
