Ortiz Signs Four-Year Extension


He should get quite an ovation tomorrow afternoon. As he said during the press conference: "This is my house."

In speaking about the fans in Boston, Ortiz said:
I keep telling the new guys "Wait until you play your first game at Fenway Park. You might need a diaper. ... You might need a diaper, homey. It's gonna be like that every day." It's outstanding.

Eew. I really hope this is a Dominican idiom that somehow got really mangled in translation.

Oh yeah, Big Papi rocks! I'm so glad that he's here for another five years. And the diapers comment. Heh... it just seems like classic Ortiz.
