Another 2 years of this crap.  Ortiz was a great player.  But he’s washed up now.  They shouldn’t have wasted the money on him.

Get your azz in there and stop being a pssy. 
8 friggin’ months already.
Where’s he running any way?

They should have put incentives in the contract for how much he played. You’d see him out there-no problem.

David should try eating foods full of healthy nutrients to help rebuild damaged tissue, such as a delicious and filling wrap sandwich, this will certainly help him heal.  I did invent the wrap you know.

What a waste of money. Great job Ben I can see why Wendy Nix left you, poor decision making & you can’t stand up for yourself.

Last year, I was all for paying what this guy was worth, and it was a lot.  This year, as big of a fan as I am, I was hesitant, because this is the injury that ended Yaz’s career.  He too struggled and fought what could not be avoided.  I hope it turns around, but it has gone this long and no sign of a return to health.  Hope Gomez or Lavarnway or Salty or Napoli are ready to become DH sluggers.  Still hoping for the best with Big Papi.

 Sit him down til July—cause that’s when he just may be useful. What a waste. 

not so poor little Davey hurt his ankle..boo hoo …Big Baby…cant run? He never could…how can it take this long to heal ? retire already ya big pssy..notice your sporting a big ol gut under your warmups  sissy boy go yell at a scorekeeper and retire

if he only got paid if he’d play I’d bet he could play with it, time to make MBL player earn the money,

Just waiting for the announcement that he will have season ending surgery.

So what’s the back story to this story?
Have the Red Sox medical staff mis-handled this injury?
Was surgery ever an option? If so…..
Did Papi hold off on surgery to sign a contract?
Is this another Schilling end-of-career-deal?
Will we ever see Papi play again? 
 

Okay Big Juicer, you win.  You got your two year guaranteed contract.  Time to knock off the charade and go on the 700 day disabled list.  Have fun spending the money.  This couldn’t happen to a better bunch of owners.  Which one of them caved and gave you the two years?  Was it Werner the geek, Lucchino the snake, or Rain Man Henry?

And with a slow start he should be hitting by about mid Sept. this year.

The Achilles is a tough injury. My fear when they decided not to have surgery to fix it is that he will rehab and then if it pops he’ll end up having the surgery and be out another year. They should have just fixed it when he injured it and he’d be back to full strength by now.

Why the heck did they give this guy a 2 year deal knowing he had a significant injury and was breaking down because of age and steroid use.  COME ON BEN!

Great move Ben signing this fatty to a two year extension. Great Great player who is way past his prime and will not even play 75 games this year.

Rushing???  Wow, what a con artist this pig is.  Bilked the Sox big time.  Deserve each other.  Cut the cord with this sow immediately.  Eat the money and get at least someone who puts a glove on and can swing a bat, you know, any little leaguer in the world.  Pig.

Also gotta love Uncle Buck last year with his condescending “Pipe down, you guys are all riled up about nothing.  Two weeks max and he’s back.”

What i find upsetting is that he took 26 million knowing what he knows.I’ll bet that if the FO knew this the deal would’nt have gone down.The Sox had better find a way to replace him with another bat.I always liked David but i am thinking that he deliberately mislead the Sox.My guess is that his consience is clear due to the fact that he felt he was under paid in the past.His credibility as an honest person has taken a hit in my opinion.

Can John Henry deduct Ortiz’s salary as a charitable donation??

He does’nt even have confidence in his ability to come around.Just listen to him he sounds like a man getting ready to throw in the towel.At least the guys they signed are able to play even if Victorino was over paid.

“I have to get out of my mind the rushing (trying to be ready for Opening Day) thing, because that just gets me worse. I have to stick with the plan and try not get it worse”

Rushing for opening day??? It has been 8 months for what was supposed to be a day to day injury.  Something is not right here. The decision to resign this guy is looking worse and worse by the day. Ran a 160 yards and is “sore.” They expect this guy to be healthy for the full season??

this is getting real old fast is it healed? or not nobody knows nothing now how many times are we going to listen to ortiz say everything is fine this is going on a long time now since last july when this happen i dont get it what happen this off season with time to heal his achilles and what happens this season when he comes back and every time he gets a hit we have to get a pitcrunner for him and take him out the game? this is not a good sign comming up for this season for ortiz and the red sox with this injury

Is it him or is it the Medical Staff once again ?  Was surgery an option 8 months ago ??

He cheated the Sox .I don’t like a thief and thats what he is.He will not be a force for the team and the FO are kicking their behinds.There are going to be nasty accusations against Ortiz just watch.

David is going to lose the goodwill he accumilated in Boston.He knew darn well the condition of his heel and he managed to clip the club big time..

when time does not heal then red flags will rise!

 Wow, this is not how you viewed him when we won the two world series. oink oink to you “not everyone”

Maybe the Dodgers would be interested.  Move Gonzo to right.  Put David at first.  Makes perfect sense.  What’s Magic’s number?

Broken down race horses end up with bad legs. However the Sox will have the highest paid PR man ever.

i love david but thought it was a bad signing considering the circumstances

Easy target.  I put a May 1st stamp on him.  If, and it’s a giant if, he comes back good to go in May and hits .295, punches out 30 and gets his 100 rbi’s, over half the posters on this page will have different ID’s saying how good he is.  Maybe he is done, maybe he isn’t.  What’s with all the vile and hate ? Cause he is getting paid ?  So what.

Achilles is not usually a day to day deal.  We have no idea how bad it was or wasn’t.  Obviously it was worse than what we all thought.  If he had to rest to heal it, he couldn’t work out in the off season like he normally would.  The questions will be answered by June.  Let’s not panic in March.

…as a diehard Sox fan I feel David Ortiz is the one player who should always get a pass on being dealt or unsigned, This man is the glue that holds the Sox together and without him the Red Sox would most likely be ringless. Ortiz u are tha f’n man and I will always have your back!!! You are a living legend but I and many true Sox fans will never forget all those clutch hits u made when we needed them. Take your time pal. it’s no rush. Just as long as you’re there when we need u and u always seem to be… Much love papi!

wow the baseball players ar really out of shape,aren’t they ? I mean this guy has been crying for the last 2 years about  the contract and here he is after 8 months and he cannot run and play still.The way i see it is that he s washed up and that’s the reason they shold have parted ways with him.He is never going to be healthy anyway!

Running to the buffet table, the couch, the frig, and the crapper.
His fat butt should have been in the pool the last 8 months working on rehabbing
and shedding some of the blubber.  We wasted money on Shamu and one hip Napoli when we could have signed Adam LaRoche for 3 years and killed 2  birds with one stone.

 This is beginning to get ugly.

 Sit him down. Are you nuts. Every time he sits down you have to feed him. Pretty soon he will have to use a meat scale to weigh himself. Bit of advice Papi, when you stand on the the scale, lose the wallet and the bling, it will help.

This sausage is spent, take him off the grill

I tried your friggin wrap and it tasted like shiite.

He’s a hell of a lot smarter than the idiot that offerred it to him.

Well, I’m a Sox fan, and as such I’ve been running it a Yankee fan the last few weeks. Now, the joke is upon me. This guy is utterly ridiculous. He’s about to make a ton of money, and we’re going to see Sweeney/Gomes as our DH. Props to Ortiz and his agent for pulling off a beaut. Shame on Cherington for being a dolt………

looks like the natives are getting pretty restless….I love what this guy has done for the franchise but it he’s just not going to come back from this and ownership will take another punch in the mouth because of it…LMAO

Feed him Jenny Dell.

I hear they are looking for a few more sausage vendors.
