2009-08-28 13:35:00
Mr. X’s Leftovers Yesterday I wrote a post on the Blue Jays’ wives.  While doing my research, I stumbled across a few others that are not associated with the Jays.  In the interest of being thorough, here are my leftovers: Mike Hampton’s spouse.  She seems happy despite having her husband hanging around the house a lot more ...

Big Papi Out 4-6 Weeks...Baltimore 6 Boston 3
2008-06-03 11:15:00
The Boston Red Sox suffered a double loss on Monday when they learned that their DH supreme Big Papi David Ortiz will be out anywhere from 4-6 weeks (or more) with a partially torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. If that sounds bad to you, well, it is. Sean Casey had this to say when he learned of his teammate's injury. Also included is a detailed description of what a "tendon sheath" is..."Man, those are your weapons, your hands are your weapons, your wrist, everything, those are your weapons," said Sean Casey, whose playing time is likely to spike with Ortiz headed to the disabled list.Ortiz is out with what the team is calling a partial tear of the sheath that keeps in place the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, which governs the action of extending and adducting the wrist. That clicking sound Ortiz heard was the ECU tendon snapping over the bone because it had slipped out of its groove."Once you lose your hands, there's not much you can do," said Casey, who tore cartilage in the...

All things considered, April wasn't that bad for Big Papi
2008-04-28 14:19:00
April probably can't end soon enough for David Ortiz, who sat out his second straight game Sunday with a bruised right knee, a souvenir from his head-first slide into first base Friday night. But despite the .177 average he takes into tomorrow night's three-game set against the Blue Jays that will take the team through May 1, the month has not been a total washout for Ortiz. Eighteen big-league players began the day yesterday with 20 or more RBIs in the season's first month. A total of 199 big-leaguers have driven in 20 or more runs in April since the start of the decade.Ortiz, who has 20 RBIs so far, is the only player in that group to have an average below the Mendoza Line, as a .200 average is known. The next lowest batting average among that group belongs to Ken Griffey Jr., who was batting .217 for the Reds when he drove in 24 runs in April 2000. Further research by Rays crack publicist Chris Costello shows that since at least 1956, no player hitting under .200 has driv...

Sox lead 2-0 in the 7th.Fenway West- The Western Home to Red Sox Nation

Big Papi says no way Santana is coming to Boston
2007-12-25 14:22:00
Santa Claus may have come to town, but apparently Santana isn't. Boston slugger David Ortiz, a close friend and former Minnesota Twins teammate of Johan Santana, said Sunday that after talking to the lefthander, he doesn't think the Boston Red Sox will make a deal for the pitcher. "No," Big Papi told the Boston Herald when asked if he thought Sanatana was Boston-bound. "I was (following it) for a minute, but I guess they stopped. They don't want him to go. (Minnesota) already gave Boston too many good things already. "Me, and now Santana? No way." While Ortiz is not privy to all the conversations of Red Sox GM Theo Epstein, Ortiz does talk to Santana, and the deal won't get done without the pitcher waiving a no-trade clause. Santana, who has one year left on his contract, isn't likely to approve a deal without an extension. He probably would demand a record pact for pitchers.

Big Papi Walk Off Wonder
2007-09-13 12:07:00
For the first time this year, Big Papi David Ortiz hit a walk off home run to propel the Boston Red Sox to another come from behind victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The final score was 5-4 good guys. It was Papi's 2nd home run of the night. He hit a three run shot in the third inning to pull the Sox within a run at 4-3. Jon Lester had a disastrous outing, giving up 4 first innings runs and only lasting 3 2/3 innings total. In that short span he gave up 8 hits and walked 4 in addition to that crooked first inning number. He's been on and off, good and bad all season, but so have Wakefield and Daisuke. They represent 60% of the team's starting pitching rotation, and that spells trouble for the post season. And with the Yankees winning their 7th straight last night over the Blue Jays, this three game weekend series coming up after today's off day looms large, huge in fact.Manny Ramirez took BP before the game last night, and if he does not suffer a setback today when he again...
