* But what have you done for me lately?

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.
