Love hurts. Love scars. Love wounds and marks. Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts. -Nazareth
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans? Baseball. That’s what. Oh doctor! What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! Like my main man Roy Hobbs always says: ”God, I love baseball.” Me too Roy, me too. I love my Red Sox, and I love Big Papi. Once, the most feared hitter of all. Once, the most endeared hitter of all. Once the most cheered hitter of all. Now, there is no joy in mudville. Now, he’s lumped with them. You mentioned Salvy, Tommy Como. That means somethin’. Why’d you say them? You coulda said anybody. Why’d you have to say Big Papi?
By now, you know all about it. By now you know, according to lawyers with knowledge of the results, David Ortiz is among the roughly 100 Major League Baseball players to test positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. At this point, I am not surprised. At this point, there is not one name that would surprise me. That doesn’t mean, at this point, it doesn’t hurt.
There was atime I’d take David Ortiz any day of the week. I’d take him cause he hit like a freak. I’d take him from here to Martinique. He put fear into the hearts of men. Over and over again. Putting balls into orbit like his name was John Glenn. A man so strong, Superman owned a pair of Big Papi pajamas. A man so tough, when the Boogeyman went to sleep at night, he checked his closet for Big Papi.
He was feared because he was clutch. He got the big hits. Gave folks a case of the big fits. A bigger treat than the Banana Splitz.
- Big hits like Carlton Fisk. If it stays fair…home run!
- Big hits like Ozzie Smith. Go crazy folks, go crazy!
- Big hits like Kirk Gibson. I don’t believe…what I just saw!
- Big hits like Joe Carter. The winners, and still world champions, the Toronto Blue Jays!
- Big hits like the OG. The original Glove, Bill Mazeroski. Back to the wall goes Berra…
- Big hits like Bobby Thompson. The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!
- Big hits like Steve Garvey. In a game that absolutely defies description.
- Big hits like Magglio Ordonez. Oh man…Ordonez around third…He’s into a mobs scene at home!
- Big hits like Kirby Puckett. Touch ‘em all, Kirby Puckett! Touch ‘em all!
Sherman, set the way back machine to 2004. Post season. Senor Octubre, David Ortiz smashed five home runs. Senor Octubre batted four hundred. You remember game four. Game four of the all the out war. Big Papi came up to settle the score. Paul Quantrill shown the door. Twelfth inning. Walk-off bomb. We’ll see you later tonight! Game five. Bottom of the fourteenth. He didn’t do it again, did he? Yes he did! Two walk-offs in the same calendar day. The only cat to ever do so. Who’s your Papi?
Big hits all the time. Big hits that made it fun to rhyme. So many big hits, it’s gotta be a crime. And now we know why. Excuse me now while I either puke or cry or both.

Sweet, sweet justice.
for what? arent you a jays fan?
[...] and David Ortiz tested dirty, and the entire Red Sox nation — including Bill Simmons — seems crushed. The fear is the two World Series titles are tainted. Naturally, Dan Shaughnessy has gone into [...]
[...] Red Sox fan reaction to Big Papi. Some of them seem to be in denial. This one is a realist. (Josh Q. Public) [...]
Love hurts? Shoulda went with tainted love, " take my tears and that's not nearly all, Tainted Love"
Tainted Series? Tainted seriesX2 ? Tainted, come from 3 games down to the Yankees? Boy I hate to kick a good cake eater when he's down but, Knock Knock, I SAID Knock Knock, Who's there? 5 in a row, untainted BITCH..
tainted love would have been awseome. reyes a red sox tomorrow?
WHAT? NO!
you heard somthin?
Oh how quickly we forget. Remember life before Big Papi…. 46,67,75,78,86,99 ……86 years of futility. Did we sell our souls for a Yankee killer? damn right and I'd do it again. Our juicers are better than yours, you Yankee scum. …..Dan Shaughnessy and the rest of the puke brigade should take the knife out Papi's back and remember the greatest clutch hitter in Red Sox history as one of the good guys. I, for one, am not ready to give back my 2004 ALCS champs hat.
Ya Bri, I'm out of hurt mode and back in FTW mode. Circle the wagons bitches!
It's too bad. Ortiz looked like a person who hadn't used PEDs as he toiled with the Twins and strung together a couple of amazing seasons with the Red Sox, only to see his production decline these past 2 seasons. It's really a shame.
