Each sitting at his locker about 10 feet apart, Ramirez and Uggla openly argued in the clubhouse about why Ramirez really exited from Tuesday's rain-delayed game in the fifth inning. Ramirez departed with cramping in his left hamstring, and he didn't appreciate the reaction he got from Uggla and others...
