* But what have you done for me lately?

May 12, 2009

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports published this item on the latest struggles by David “Big Papi” Ortiz. Good thing he’s not a horse, or it would be “off to the glue factory with him.”

My first thought was that I was surprised to see he’s only 33; he’s one of these guys who seems like he’s been around forever.

Second, I was shocked that he has “only” 289 home runs (none this year, which is why the concern).

Finally, how long until we start hearing murmurs about PED? Isn’t it a sad state of affairs that this question will now automatically come up if a player with such a track record starts to show signs of a fall-off?

Ortiz was among the Boston Red Sox “idiots” who took advantage of their sudden popularity to publish their autobiographies a few seasons back.

You can read a good chunk of his book here.
