Besides, how many of us has actually built a hospital?

I am a fan of Ortiz but if you watch him after every called third strike, he could be tossed out of the game. He is a chronic complainer and is eventually going to piss off every umpire in the game. He needs to get his emotions under control. To be fair, Youk has the same problem and could have cost us a game last week when he got tossed.

Ortiz is not a ball player he is a DH,I would have cut him lose last season.
I would like to see him pull his antics against, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, or Pedro.

I will have to disagree with you; I like him for what he has done, and continues to do, both on and off the field. He was at the hospital on Saturday visiting the kids, for example.

For my part, I want ball players who are emotionally as well as mentally in the game.
