Big Papi has some fun with A-Rod

Alex Rodriguez did a brief interview with the writers just now. As he was talking, David Ortiz shouted out from the adjacent locker, “No more talking about Madonna please!”

A-Rod paused for a second then kept talking as though he didn’t hear Big Papi. Everybody else started snickering, as did Ortiz.

    okay, so that’s amusing :-D

    For anyone watching these interviews and other pre-game ceremonies on Fox- do these Fox anchors make you want to slit your wrists? I’m not suicidal, but a few more minutes of Fox and you never know…

  3. DFox

    “do these Fox anchors make you want to slit your wrists?”

    Absolutely. They are doing so much rooting and admiring that it’s silly.

  4. jon

    These Boston players show a lot of class…continually.

  5. Rebecca--Optimist Prime-Mo for Cy Young 08

    James Earl Jones!

    Guess they can’t help pushing the star wars metaphor. Evil Empire and proud!

  6. DFox

    That intro Fox just ran was epic.

  7. mel

    Was that James Earl Jones doing the voiceover for the intro? If so, thumbs way up.

    Parade on Fox now, for those who’re interested.

  8. mel

    Rebecca,

    Did you think of ray? I did.

  9. J-Dawg--Veintisiete en '08, (Santana's not here, he's not coming!!!!)

    Jeez, I still think that it is sad that the winning league in this game gets homefield advantage in the World Series. They’re going to have to change the rule at some point, the National League hasn’t enjoyed homefield advantage since 2001. Alternating the advantage every other year like the old days would still work.

  10. Rebecca--Optimist Prime-Mo for Cy Young 08

    mel: Of course.

  11. mel

    Alex, “It is smokin’ hot!”

    LOL!

  12. ERâ„¢ (The Last Yankee Fanâ„¢)
  13. mel

    Jeter and Yogi with all these blue collar guys talking about the Stadium is awesome.

  14. ERâ„¢ (The Last Yankee Fanâ„¢)

    I hope a Red Sox player gets injured tonight.

  15. Rebecca--Optimist Prime-Mo for Cy Young 08

    I didn’t think I’d get emotional today, over the memories, but I am.

  16. mel

    And let’s hope that they get taken to your ER, where everything is hopeless.

  17. ERâ„¢ (The Last Yankee Fanâ„¢)

    I’m surprised Chevy can even afford to sponsor this event

    I didn’t know they still exist

  18. Craig

    Ortiz was seen eyeballing a McDonald’s in mid-town ….

  19. Virgin Islands

    “I hope a Red Sox player gets injured tonight.”

    Is that what the Yankees hopes have come to?

  20. Wolf In Pinstripes

    Gawd, I turn the festivities on just in time for papelbon (note lowercase p) to be interviewed. Grrr.

  21. S.A.- I believe in this team but can the offense stop being so offensive?

    Oh look, here’s Papsmear on Fox

  22. Rebecca--Optimist Prime-Mo for Cy Young 08

    Virgin Islands, ignore him.

  23. mel

    VI,

    Relax. ER is not a real Yankee fan. No real fan would wish such. Well, they may wish it, but they’d never say it.

    Is Bloomberg a Yank or Mutt fan?

  24. pat

    Pics of George on Yahoo. Sad that he looks so unsteady on his feet.

  25. pat

    mel

    That isn’t a NY accent. The good mayor is a Bostonian.

  26. Rebecca--Optimist Prime-Mo for Cy Young 08

    mel: Yanks fan.

  27. DFox

    “No real fan would wish such.”

    You mean you would have been genuinely upset if papelbon’s SUV fell off a bridge during the parade?

  28. mel

    pat,

    He may be a Bostonian, but he’s a capitalist. That makes him a New Yorker now!

  29. mel

    DFox,

    Read the sentence after that!

  30. pat

    “You mean you would have been genuinely upset if papelbon’s SUV fell off a bridge during the parade?”

    I wish him no harm just a brain.

  31. pat

    mel

    He’s a politician. That means he’s a bandwagon jumper.

  32. Lets try.

    Why would you wish that some gets hurt. Its just a game, I bet they have family just like me and you.

  33. mel

    I wonder if Papi would think it’s funny if Alex yelled out, “Why they no sell protein shakes in McDonald’s in New York?”

  34. Nick

    Correct Pat and for reference see Rudee Julie Annie

  35. C-Rod

    I’m not amused. Alex can have Papi in the settlement.

  36. Steve Schuman

    I would never wish an injury on a Red Sox player. That is just ignorant and takes everything away from the word “sport”. On the other hand, I wish Sox players would just shut their faces. First Papelbon and now Ortiz. You know, it sounds trite to say that a Yankee would never say what Papelbon and Big Yappi said, but it is the truth. Tact doesn’t seem to be something the Red Sox organization preaches to their players.

  37. tantron willoughby

    Alex will do himself a huge favor during the next off season and take Derek Jeter classes in Ladies 101. He really is lacking in gray matter.

    It must be tough living on 13.5 mill a year. Hope he enjoys the alimony and child support payments.

  38. debbie

    er- i hope your ma gets injured tonight

  39. gt

    “You know, it sounds trite to say that a Yankee would never say what Papelbon and Big Yappi said, but it is the truth. Tact doesn’t seem to be something the Red Sox organization preaches to their players.”

    Will you listen to what Hank says every week? And he never even steps on the field. It’s hilarious to watch yankee fans complain about paps or ortiz when your boss makes a joke of himself every time he opens his mouth. Turn that blind eye, I guess.

  40. West Coast Fan

    Bloomberh may have been born and raised in Mass., but his mom is from Jersey. So that saves him.

  41. Chemmy

    Being from New Jersey “saves” people now? That’s what New York has come to? You’ve given up hating the B&Ts because of the Red Sox?

  42. Paps

    Hope you Yanks fans enjoyed the last meaningful game at that beloved dump of a stadium. Yanks will be fortunate to finish third in the East this year…my how the mighty have fallen!

  43. Papi

    BWAHAHAHA at Yankee fans talking about class…NY fans: The 2nd least classiest in sports (Philly).

    Reggie Jackson hates Jews…Little Stein is mouthing off…Daily News is ignoring the rest of Paps’ quote…C-L-A-S-S.

    I love this New York inferiority complex now…Boston could not be enjoying this more.
