The headlines and story ledes are starting to talk about him like he's the front man for a rock band:
"David Ortiz and the Red Sox..."
He did it again. I'm fast running out of superlatives for the guy. Clutch? Goes without saying. Superhuman? A bit overused.
So I cracked the
thesaurus: Stupendous. Wondrous. Awesome. Astounding. Empyreal. Sublime. Hair-raising. Heart-stirring. Spine-tingling. Prodigious. Fantasmo. Far-out.
It's a start.
Give.
This.
Man.
An.
Award.
Lest we forget,
the other David got the job done too (7 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K). All without his curve. And stop the presses!
The pen was near-perfect.
We'll need 'em to be that way again. And again.
Tony?
A tiger. Three for four with a pair of RBIs and two runs scored. A triple shy of the cycle. He's a helluva leadoff hitter.
But so is this guy.
Gabe, we hardly knew ye.
You can deal with this. We all looking forward to saying
Welcome Back again next year.
Big series this weekend. Stay away,
rain. Hope you're rested,
Rent. Come up big,
Curt.
