Good Sox 9, Bad Sox 8: Chicks dig the long ball

·1 min

David Ortiz with an amazing game. I’m kind of surprised that his 6 RBI today was his personal best - somehow I always thought he had bigger games - but wow, that 3-run shot was crushed. And a good thing it was too, with Schilling throwing strikes but only getting the ball launched out of the park. Just before Ortiz came on for his last at-bat, prior to the homer, the chants of “Papi! Papi! Papi!” were great - you just knew the ballpark was waiting for that moment. I can feel it coming in the air at night, oh Lord.
