Really? This is what you are going with? Papi is a cheat. So is ARod, so is Manny, so is Pettitte. To defend him in this arena is ludicrous. That being said, I dont give a flying f*** what he is taking. If someone said I could be paid $14 million for next season if I could jack 30 bombs into the seats, I'd be roiding my balls off, literally.
Papi is paving his road out of town with this s***. He is a great player who is having an all star season, but his attitude is one of me first and then the team and when a team is struggling, those types can take a team down. On the field, he's always been good, but off the field, his s*** might be part of the toxic culture in the clubhouse. I have a feeling Ortiz wants out and this is one way to make it so. If the sox scuffle over the next 2 weeks and fall far back in the WC race and hopelessly out of the AL East, I wonder who will get the big roider? He'd easily be the best bat on the market
