David Ortiz is Pissed

BOSTON -- After going hitless Tuesday for a second straight game to start the season, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz lashed out at reporters when reminded that his struggles last April and May would be a hot topic if he was slow at the start of this season as well. "Good," he said, turning to face the reporters encircling him. "You guys wait till [expletive] happens, then you can talk [expletive]. Two [expletive] games, and already you [expletives] are going crazy. "What's up with that, man? [Expletive]. [Expletive] 160 games left. That's a [expletive]. One of you [expletives] got to go ahead and hit for me."

I wasn't even going to post about the game last night. Not because they lost but because it was game 2 of 162. The first was important because of it was opening day and it's pretty much a poor man's christmas morning. So much anticipation up to that point. But that's not what we're talking about here. Slowly but surely, I'm starting to fall out of love with Ortiz. Notice I called him Ortiz and not Big Papi because he's not hitting like a papi would. He hasn't in over a year and it's frightening. I really don't think I was out of line when I said the season might rest of his fat fucking shoulders and if he doesn't produce, we're fucked. Yeah, we can stay afloat but he's the x-factor that puts us over the hump. I don't wanna hang around with a 1 or 2 game lead all season. I wanna absolutely crush the competition. Just leave every team demoralized after they come to Fenway. So it's not out of line for a reporter to ask him what his deal is after the second game of the season. A sex offender gets let out of jail after a year and if a week later he's standing by the playground, you should grab him and ask him what he's doing. And if David Ortiz is showing some of the same behavior at the plate that he did last year during his slump, shove it in his face.
