Big Papi, Big Mouth

I'll cut David Ortiz a little slack, though. I'm sure that this is a very disappointing season for the Red Sox. Still....better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.

I got my biggest chuckle when Ortiz whined, "Don't get me wrong -- he's a great player, having a great season, but he's got a lot of guys in that lineup. Top to bottom, you've got a guy who can hurt you. Come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be." First, thanks for the slap in the face, I'm sure, from your teammates.

And second, hasn't David Ortiz been fortunate enough to spend his entire Red Sox career batting right behind Manny Ramirez?
