While David Ortiz has been assembling a scorching-hot season since returning from his Achilles injury in mid-April, his stats took an extended ice bath on Boston’s recent road swing.
During the seven-game trip to Tampa Bay and Baltimore, Ortiz went three-for-26 (.115) with one home run and one RBI, was held hitless in four of those games...
All-Star Bubble Watch: Daniel Nava
Daniel Nava has a career 16 home runs and 103 runs batted in. He drives an old beat-up red Ford truck, and makes $505,000. Nava is an extremely fundamentally sound baseball player. He gets zero media attention, yet why should he? He’s just another player fighting to stay in the big leagues and this year he has proven that he is finally here to stay. All of Boston knows that Nava...

While Ortiz continues to be one of baseball’s most prolific sluggers, everyone should be encouraged by...

Big Papi meets with FCC chairman and family

David Ortiz Shows Up to Support Bruins in Game 4 After Red Sox Game Rained Out (Photo)
David Ortiz and the Bruins both have a flair for postseason dramatics, so it’s only natural that Big Papi would root for the B’s on an impromptu off day.
With the Red Sox rained out on Friday night, Ortiz made his way to the TD Garden instead of Fenway Park, where he took in the Bruins-Penguins game from a luxury box. Decked out in black and yellow, Big Papi cheered on the B’s...
David Ortiz “Famous as F**K” t-shirt
David Ortiz really likes the F-word, we guess? Ortiz dropped a F-bomb in response to the Boston Marathon bombing and was sporting a t-shirt that read “Famous as F**K” after hitting a walk off home run on Thursday night against Texas.
The t-shirt may not have been the best idea but considering Ortiz is hitting .325/.399/.624 with 11 home runs and 45 RBI there does not figure...
All hail Mr. David Ortiz
Who doesn’t love this man? It’s how amazing how good David Ortiz has been for the Red Sox since they picked him up in 2003 after the Minnesota Twins RELEASED him! That last laser beam in the bottom of the 9th inning last night was Ortiz’s 10th career walk-off home run in a Red Sox uniform, that’s 7th best all-time in baseball history, not counting the damage he has...

David Ortiz provided Exhibit A in Boston Strong on Thursday night.
The slugger has been vocal about his support for the city in the days since the Boston Marathon bombings. He was behind one of the most memorable moments of that turbulent week, and since then, he’s kept up the tribute the best way he knows how — by knocking the ball out of the park.
Ortiz did that in the most...
