I was watching the 9th inning because I knew he would hit the walkoff HR. Its almost boring now. Its unbelievable how clutch this guy is. Ive never seen anything like this in the history of sports (besides Jordan). I felt like I was watching a movie cuz I just knew hed hit a HR.

Flabbergasted. The announcers were talking about him the 1/2 inning earlier and up until the point that he hit it out. Absolutely flabbergasted.

But can he do anything else besides hit home runs?

Is there anyone else you would rather have on your team then this guy? Position or not, it's got to be up for debate.

Tonight it would have put the tying run in scoring position with Manny coming up. Hindsight is 20/20, but I would still probably pitch to Ortiz.

I know it was the first strike he threw, but the replay with color trails showed it was on the low outside corner. And at 97mph? ****, he's good.

Baseball Tonight just called it a 97mph tee ball.Looked like it caught a lot of the middle to me. Could be wrong there.

According to an interview with Mariano Rivera, he thinks Ortiz closed that particular hole in his swing.shadyridr said:

Agree about the 'closer' part. Dude's 22 years old and has been thrown into the lion's den. Nice 'Welcome to the Majors' greeting by Papi last night.Capella said:

Fair Tax!
My only complaint about the guy is this : HOW ABOUT LETTING MANNY HIT A COUPLE!?!?!?!? I mean, c'mon, I need to get 1 or 2 more HR's a week here and Papi is stealing all of Manny's opportunities.
