And you don't think things like that are forgotten? Maybe the Sox should plunk Sanchez. A comment like that is really telling. Red Sox fans cheered Mo and Jeter.Wow, that was a long article. Since I can't stand him, I didn't choose to read the whole thing. What's his reason?
PS I hope a Yankee pitcher plunks him to send him off on his way. They have nothing to lose, really.

I am a Cubs fan but always liked Ortiz, game will miss him for sure

Your better than that man.
I'm not saying pull a Pedro and aim for his head. Just a pitch aimed at his ample backside would do. I doubt they'd do it, I just wouldn't mind if it happened. I'm kind of over the whole Papi lovefest.
You don't hit someone just because they killed your team. Chipper Jones killed my Mets for years, but I still had the utmost respect for the guy, and would have been angry if a Met pitcher drilled him. You have to respect the legends.
It's ridiculous to suggest someone get hit.I wouldn't drill him because he killed the Yankees. Besides, I'm a Cubs fan. I wasn't a big fan of Larry Jones either. I'm just tired of his over dramatic persona. Just because I don't like him doesn't mean other people can't get in on the love fest. Be my guest. Just expressing my dislike for him.
You clearly don't follow baseball closely if you think 1. that Martinez in anyway compared to Ortiz and 2. Ortiz never failed a test for roids. Just plain wrong. He was alleged to be on a list, and we don't know for sure because the list has never been made public for p.e.d's . They don't say what kind. UInlike A-Rod, he was never linked to PEDS in any way again. Oh, and the stats between Edgar Martinez and Ortiz..Eh, he's not even the best DH in recent memory. Edgar Martinez was clearly better. Why everyone is honoring the steroid user is beyond me. His career trajectory mirrors exactly a handful of players...Sosa, Palmeiro, etc...Weird. Well, not really.
He'll probably get a better ceremony than ARod did from the Yankees - who officially failed the same number of steroid tests. Cuz he smiles a lot and is chubby? Pretty soon it's going to be like little kids getting a trophy for finishing last, if you play more than 5 years with the same team before you retire, farewell tour!!!!
I put no chemicals or nothing in my body...so I went to GNC for supplements. Ummmm, okay.
I actually like the dude, because he seems nice, and he smiles a lot and is chubby...but the fawning over Ortiz with a farewell stuff is beyond me.
one dimensional player? Hmm you mean like a relief pitcher that throws about 80 innings a year? One dimensional like that?I'm a Cubs fan but can't stand him. He's a great hitter who likes to bring attention to himself.
Telling in what way? I said that I can't stand him. I didn't think I left any gray area. Im sure the Yankees didn't forget the bush league antics of Pedro either. Ortiz was a Yankee killer but I wouldn't put Ortiz in the HOF on the first ballot like I expect Jeter and Mo to be. A one dimensional player with a steroid suspicion doesn't quite reach the same level IMHO.

I'm older than you. Tony Coningliaro was my favorite player when I was a kid. He was unreal. Led the league in Home runs at 20 Fastest player to 100 home runs in history at that time. Got hit in the head at 22 and his life was ruined. Died real early. He was so good, after missing a full year, he came back blind in one eye and hit 36 HR's one year. was out of the game at 25 and died early.I'm not suggesting you get hit. You seem to be taking this very personally.

He is playing in pain. He has bad feet.He wants to be a vitamin salesman.
He want's to be a Dr Scholl's salesman. He will be Jellin like Magellan in retirement.He is playing in pain. He has bad feet.

Tragic story. That picture of him in the hospital after taking that pitch in the eye is burned in my mind. I'm a New Yorker, lifelong Yankee fan, but for some reason had a Tony Conigliaro glove as a kid. Best glove I ever had.I'm older than you. Tony Coningliaro was my favorite player when I was a kid. He was unreal. Led the league in Home runs at 20 Fastest player to 100 home runs in history at that time. Got hit in the head at 22 and his life was ruined. Died real early.
