it's such a great story. i really hope he doesn't change his mind.

Ortiz's HR tonight gives him 38 XBH in his (not the team's) first 45 games. Here's where the all-time single-season leaders were after 45 games and their final total:
Ruth (1921): 34/119Gehrig (1927): 37/117Bonds (2001): 35/107Chuck Klein (1930): 34/107Helton (2001): 29/105
That's the top 5--good chance Ortiz's pace is the fastest ever.

gonna sound corny af but i was at the game where mookie scored his mlb first homer - which didn't help the game much bc it ended up being a 16-9 massacre by the cubs (also the game where jerry remy's tooth fell out in the broadcast booth!) - and was like, "that's legit, please don't be a flash in the pan," so him showing out like this and the numbers he's on pace for are v nice to see

a. lolb. lolc. when was the last time the yankees were remotely dynastic? it's almost like 2009 was an isolated incidentd. lol againe. what makes a team non-loathsome? not having a huge payroll? being outside of a big market? having a non-douchey fanbase? not winning? because if so, ah, morbs, i mean, i feel like we have some pot/kettle probs heref. lol x 5,000

David Ortiz on Xander Bogaerts: "That kid is on another level. He's on top of his game like nothing I have ever seen before. His s--- is way too good to believe.

Caught a bit of of today's game on TV. Felt a little sad seeing Molitor trudge out to the mound as the runs piled up--one of my favorite Jays ever during his brief stay.
According to the announcers, Ortiz his a couple of 400-foot singles today.

sure, except he's leagues ahead of kluber in most categories except k/9, ahead of quintana by WAR and whip, behind sale in all but ERA and BABIP but not by a great deal.

wright's got the lowest ERA in the AL, wouldn't be the worst choice in the world but when you have established guys having good/great seasons you kind of have to go with them. why is there a rumor wright would be starting in the first place? is he buddies with yost?
