Congrats Papi

David Ortiz has really struggled this year, and it's been hard to watch, but he carried the team once and I can't not support the big guy. I just saw this in the Globe:

8:50 pm, bottom fifth, 8-0 Red Sox

In his 150th at-bat since his last homer, David Ortiz brought the Fenway crowd to its feet with a two-run homer to centerfield right below the foul pole in centerfield. The crowd roared. Ortiz received a huge outpouring of affection from teammates, manager Terry Francona and coaches in the Sox dugout. Ortiz' longest drought previous to this was 145 at-bats without a homer.
