Fuck.

My HS FB team just lost in OT in the playoffs. They were up 14-0 with 2 minutes left.

This might be worse.

That's crazy for high school

I’m assuming there was an onside kick involved?

Anyway, wouldn’t Ortiz and his agent want this information to come out so they can drum up his asking price? He doesn’t want to play in Baltimore any more than a guy like Posada would, and Ortiz has more options than him.

One year for Vlad worked out so great, we might as well give two to David Ortiz!

Meh.

I doubt this is accurate. If it is, I won’t be happy, but I can’t see it, so I’m not annoyed.

Jen has Boston resources, guys. This looks legit…

I hate him

and I hate this deal.

Please tell me this isn’t true.

What happened to Duquette not signing a free agent just to show he is “here”.
If this happens….gonna have to get way drunker than I am now (lots).

by Drubert90 on Nov 19, 2011 3:37 AM EST reply actions  

Also

If we DO go ahead and make this deal they can forget about my monies I was going to send them for a new hat. That hat money was suppose to be used for signing not stupid people that will make our team better.

by WestcoastO'sFan on Nov 19, 2011 4:55 AM EST reply actions  

Maybe we should have signed Papelbon

and Posada too. Then, in conjunction with an Ortiz signing, I’d finally have sufficient reason to cast this team aside and be free of the albatross that is the Baltimore Orioles.

Overpriced free agents on the declining side of their career. Very familiar. Hope this isn’t true.

by matt.lindsay on Nov 19, 2011 9:48 AM EST reply actions  

I'll believe it when the ink hits the paper

COULD be that Ortiz is trying to use the O’s to squeeze an extra year out of the Sox. More likely it is just a false hot stove rumor.

David Ortiz in orange and black will honestly keep me out of OPACY.

I genuinely dislike that guy, and more importantly, signing him would be dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Agreed

I have cheered against that guy for so many years, there is no way I am going to support the O’s making this move.

Duquette had this to say to WEEI

Q: Could you use a 36-year-old left handed DH (reference to David Ortiz)?

Duquette: "I could use a lot of things on my ballclub. It’s just a question of affordability and value now. I don’t know, that seems to be a luxury item right now given all the other work we need to do in other areas of the team.

“We did have Vlad Guerrero last year. I’d much rather sign those Dominicans for contracts when they are coming out of the amateur market rather than pay them a lot of money in the big leagues. We have to sign a few more of those before we look to a high-priced DH, I think.”

Or you could, you know, wait for an actual signing to happen

before jumping to conclusions.

Well if the first place the Internet
