Ortiz Hits Back
David Ortiz's 0-for-7 showing to start the season has already got some Boston reporters questioning if Big Papi is off to a slow start akin to 2009. Last night, according to various Boston papers, Ortiz said he didn't want to talk. Then when someone asked about the 0-for-7, he hit back.
"(bleep) happens. Then you guys talk (bleep)," Ortiz said. "Two (bleeping) games already. (Bleep) are going crazy. What's up with that, man? (Bleep). There's (bleep) 160 games left. Y'all (bleep) go ahead and hit for me."
