David Ortiz

The other day I saw a poll for MLB among some sports writers and ARod was way ahead of Ortiz. If the Red Sox win the Division I would vote for Papi. Despite ARod's great season, unless ARod carrys the Yankees on his back to the Division title in the next 20 games, I would have to honestly say Ortiz has done this for the Red Sox so far (ie. his 2 Homers tonight)

    Ortiz is an animal. You are correct - as you well know by previous performance.

    And he did it last year too and should have won it last year.

    Whoa - I agree with Gemmy. I better mark this down.

    Gemmy10,

    Please quit sucking up. It's arrogant.

    All I heard last year from every defeated Yankee fan - "Sure I wish the Yankees won, but I'm glad the Sox won. They deserved it. Really, I'm happy for them. It's good for baseball. Blah blah blah".

    Your comments about Ortiz read the same way. Typical pre-emptive Yankee defeatism. When the Yankees are on top, all the peons below are bashed mercilessly. When the Yankees are floundering, every Yankee fan rushes to express his paper-thin "objective" appreciation and admiration for those ahead of them, clearly in an attempt to avoid or detract the same ridicule and mocking they've dished out for so long.

    Long story short, Ortiz is our guy. He's better, cheaper, and more valuable than Rodriguez, and I for one don't want you on the banwagon.

    <<Please quit sucking up>>

    I don't suck up to anyone. Are you Axthole's twin brother?

    I still think the Yankees will win the Division.

    Ortiz has 1 less homer than Arod, more runs, and more RBI's, also more walks and less attitude. Oh,, and no purple lips.

    Wow, Shanty-Townie, Joisey, and Dog Breath (dgbaseball) are all jumping on the bash Gemmy and Anti-Yankee bandwagon. Where the heck is Axthole?

    If I wanted to suck up to the Red Sox, their fans, and Yankee haters, I would wait until the end of the season IF and when the Red Sox clinched the Divsion, not when the Yankees have 19 games remaining after this evening's drubbing of the Devil Rays. Oh, I see the Red Sox are getting a drubbing of their own. Red Sox, who's dat in your rear view mirror, who's dat?

    If I think a player on another team is carrying his team and deserves the MVP, I will call a spade a spade.

    As will I...

    You're a spamming bandwagoner.

    It's just spammy hedging his bets and making his 1001st prediction...like I've said before, when you make THAT many predictions, you are by dumb luck going to get one right (anyone remember the 'Derek Jeter will win the batting title!' then 'Arod could win the triple crown!' threads started hours apart?)

    Spammy, what happened to your predictions that the Orioles were going to finish second behind the yankees in the AL east? What about Posada hittting 40 home runs? What about Cano getting RoY?

    Why don't you STOP with the 'predictions' that are not based on any facts?

    Now you're riding Ortiz's jock like you're a 16 year old girl. PATHETIC.
  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭

    Axthole, the fact that you don't know the difference between simple English words like "tie" and "win" is pathetic.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    Good to see your spammy ways of trying to divert attention are still hard at work! And good to see that your 'Axtell alert!' that you have tied to your bed is working in high gear again.

    Why don't you grow a pair, and then come back to me when you actually have something insightful to say, ok spamboy?

    Call him what you want - but you better start calling him MVP - another Sox win delivered by an Ortiz HR. Simply amazing.

    Did any of you guys see ARod's game inning play (Yankees won 1-0) to rob Hillenbrand of a double, turning it in to a Double Play?

    I was listening to the game on MLB.TV last night and the Toronto play by play guy said he felt, with all offensive contributions being more or less equal, ARod should win it because Ortiz does not take the field. I think he has a very good point. ARod could very well win the Gold Glove at 3B too.

    Gemmy...you must be bored, and itching for a thead to respond to. It's a caricature...get it...not a photo. I like it....suggests he carries the team. Regards.

    I know it's a caricature. I get it. I have seen better likenesses though.

    Two more HR's tonight - it would seem to me this MVP race is a done deal.

    I think spammy likes calling Ortiz 'papi'.

  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭

    If the Red Sox get in maybe. Being DH might hurt him.

    More on Ortiz - from the recap of tonight's game:



    << <i> For Ortiz, the numbers just keep adding up to spots in the Red sox record book. His 87 home runs over the last two years are the most any Boston player has hit in back-to-back years, topping the 86 by Hall of Famer Foxx in 1937-38. His 27 homers on the road broke Ted Williams' team mark of 25, set in 1957. >>

    He is amazing and I can't believe that Minnesota let him go. I remember reading an article that Steinbrenner always liked him but they had already signed Giambi.

    Yep - that's correct! Steinbrenner wanted Cashman to go after him, but they didn't have a place for him with Giambi signed for all that money. Bet they would find a place for him now.

    The Twins basically let him walk. I don't think anyone thought he would become this good of a hitter.

    Could you imagine? The curse would never have ended. Somehow I can't picture Papi in pinstripes with the clean shaven look, but then again I couldn't imagine Giambi either.
