May be as clutch of a player as I've seen. Definitely deserves the AL MVP if Boston makes it to the playoffs.

no doubt about it

He is a freaking machine. Opposing pitchers KNOW it's over if they face him in the 9th or later.

I've never seen anything like it.

7/31/2006 10:30:28 PM

that was fuckin amazing

when i saw the ball come out of the pitchers hand i knew it was over

7/31/2006 10:34:09 PM

just rewatched that, and that shit was clutch

i mean, he was facing HEAT too, jesus

I dont care if the bases are loaded, if it's the ninth inning and you're up by more than one run, you better walk him or he's going to win it. It's not a coincidence that he does this WEEKLY.

Figures the 2 Sox games I got to this year he didn't even get a hit

7/31/2006 10:50:57 PM

I wanna suck his hot sexy piece of dominican meat for being able to hit a HR off a rookie closer. mmmmmm

7/31/2006 11:00:49 PM

he's got lots of energy in the later innings from not playing over half the time

[Edited on August 1, 2006 at 1:23 AM. Reason : but he is also really, really, really amazing]

^^ Then what are you willing to do for his pwnage of Mo Rivera?

no, no, no, no

in NO situation do you ever intentionally walk in a run. there are far too many things that can happen--yes even with your god david ortiz--that would not lead to runs.

he does not do it WEEKLY--

I LOLed but it might have some truth to it. Unlike other players chasing down balls and diving for it, he is sitting there. But yes I would still give him the MVP right now.

David Ortiz is 5-for-15 with no homeruns or extra base-hits off of rivera.

Yea it is a .333 batting average and he had a hit off of him in the ALCS, but he doesnt hit the ball hard off of him....almost noone does.

8/1/2006 9:04:42 AM

steroids

8/1/2006 10:04:40 AM

i'd say 5 for 15 is pwnage

8/1/2006 11:07:42 AM

this game was great to watch...I had a weird feeling he may do it again and it was just nuts when he hit that. crazy stuff, MVP for sho

and if there's anyone I'd say wasn't on 'roids, it's Papi. I could be VERY wrong, but I highly doubt it.

I agree, but I think we're talking about his walk off HRs?

8/1/2006 2:34:39 PM

he is a filthy savage, last guy I would want to see in the 9th inning as a pitcher

8/1/2006 4:17:35 PM

5-for-15 is not pwnage. it is such a small sample size that it is some measure of success...

if he was 8 or 9 for 15, that would be pwnage.

8/1/2006 7:04:42 PM

^ Exactly... 4-for-15 is a .267 batting average! Is that pwnage...? No, then would 1 hit separate pwnage from not pwnage? Probably not.
