Juan Pierre has stepped to the fore as the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ offensive catalyst since becoming a fixture in the lineup in place of suspended outfielder Manny Ramirez. He was at it again Wednesday, joining Mark Loretta to hit successive RBI singles with two outs during a seventh-inning rally, and the Dodgers then held off the Colorado Rockies 8-6 for a three-game sweep.

Fan starts ‘Vote for Manny’ Web site
Jason Rosenberg was heading home and listening to satellite radio when he heard that Manny Ramirez was fourth among National League outfielders in initial All-Star voting. By the end of the night, a new Web site was born: Vote for Manny. “I said it would be funny if Manny got elected, because he’s coming off a suspension on July 3 and the All-Star game is a week later, so they don’t even have that sort of built-in protection,” the 39-year-old from suburban Ardsley said Wednesday.
