It really does seem that Slappy turns into another player when the game simply doesn't matter at all.<BR/><BR/>He's not a leader, he's just a little punk. Ortiz helps his team by not playing defense, that's plain and simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1128091252746163682005-09-30T07:40:00.000-07:002005-09-30T07:40:00.000-07:00Unless, say, more than 40% of his home runs tied t...Unless, say, more than 40% of his home runs tied the game or put his team ahead...but that's a ridiculous id...oh.<BR/><BR/><I>Valuable</I>.From the Vined Smithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383093641957358840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1128089325640303152005-09-30T07:08:00.000-07:002005-09-30T07:08:00.000-07:00Yaz-tec, you obviously have never watched a Yankee...Yaz-tec, you obviously have never watched a Yankee game. A-ROD has had plenty of big hits this year for the Yanks . And I will be the first to admit Big Papi is the one man I would want up with the game on the line, but if he had to play first base for 150 games I bet the Sox would be no closer than five games out. AROD will win a gold glove this year and has saved many games with his glove. While Big Papi does cross word puzzles while his team is on the field, AROD actually contributes to his team. I love Big Papi, I really do. Wish he was on the Yanks.
