Brown Bag it, Baby
Over the past couple of season, Big Papi has developed quite the big ego. It seems as though the way the media treated Davd Ortiz after his slow start in 2010 has really taken a toll on the Red Sox slugger. Since that epic slump, he has been …
With the greatest collapse in franchise history comes plenty of speculation about what went wrong. After the Red Sox lost a nine-game Wild Card lead in less than a month, people wanted answers. A team can’t just implode without providing a few …
David Ortiz is swinging the bat at a superstar level after having three somewhat down years in a row for Boston. The Red Sox DH is hitting .311 with 28 home runs and a .986 OPS. He’s justifying the $12.5 million option the Sox picked up, and …
David Ortiz has been out of the Red Sox lineup for nine games and — with the exception of Tuesday night — Boston’s offense has let it show. Before Adrian Gonzalez’s two-homer game on Tuesday, the Red Sox lineup was lacking …
When David Ortiz barged into the interview room and interrupted Terry Francona’s press conference last week, it left us all slightly confused. There was no denying the spaz attack was real. Ortiz, Francona, and the young lady who was trying …
Red Sox DH David Ortiz was robbed of an RBI because of a scoring change Wednesday night and he was so pissed he interrupted manager Terry Francona’s postgame press conference. Ortiz singled in the first inning of Boston’s 4-3 win over …
David Ortiz and Kevin Gregg got into the baseball fight of the season Friday night. The tension began early in the 8th inning at-bat when Ortiz stared out at Gregg after the first pitch was thrown inside. The next pitch was also inside. Ortiz pointed …
On Monday, we told you about some of the complaints managers have had about interleague play, particularly Terry Francona. David Ortiz has been one of the Red Sox’s best hitters this season, but he is as pure of a designated hitter as they …
David Ortiz has been extremely hot for the Red Sox lately, having hit in eight straight games. He has four home runs and 10 RBIs in that span, and he’s gone deep in both of Boston’s wins over the Yankees this week. Ortiz flipped his bat …
While it would appear the Jorge Posada situation has quickly cooled down, there is still plenty of talk going on about the state of the Yankees with their 39-year-old DH remaining a popular topic. After he reportedly threw a fit on Saturday when Joe …
Those of us who went to Fenway Park Monday night were treated to an absolute stinker. On the heels of a dominant Josh Beckett performance on Sunday night against the Yankees, Daisuke Matsuzaka was shelled from the game’s opening pitch and the …
I’m glad Bobby Valentine reiterated the fact that we weren’t taking a shot at the Home Run Derby when we gave you a recommendation for making it interesting on Monday. Maybe Bobby should have taken my advice and bet on it. He’d …
In one of the most laughable lawsuits I’ve come across, rapper Jay-Z is suing Red Sox DH David Ortiz for opening up a club in the Dominican Republic using the same name as Jay-Z’s chain nightclub, 40/40 Club. Apparently there are three …
I was holding out some hope that David Ortiz might actually be forthright and honest when he decided to finally address his positive steroids test from 2003 but I was wrong. Judging by the way he was acting, why wouldn’t I have hoped for the …
It’s so weird to see such a prominent slugger like David Ortiz go from having it to not having it so quickly. It’s one thing for a guy to be a flash in the pan — an All-Star one year and nothing the next. It’s even …
I used to be one of the biggest baseball fans around. This year, things will change. I’m tired of the steroids issue tainting the game and obscuring my enjoyment of it. I’ve had enough of seeing guys like J.C. Romero, Rafael Betancourt, …
