Papi!

You might remember that one month ago I was ready to sacrifice chickens in order to help David Ortiz regain his home run stroke, and had all but given up on Big Papi.

As usual, I'm an idiot. Thursday night he hit his 300th career dinger, and since June 6 has hit 10 four-base knocks, raised his average from .196 to .224 and hit safely in pretty much every game to make me look like I don't have any faith in the most beloved Sox this decade.

Now, let's talk about how the bullpen has blown four of the last ten games, including last night against the frakin' Royals(?!) and now we're tied with the Dang Yanks atop the AL East?
