Big Papi Backlash Continues.

Eh, the anti-Ortiz article is predictable enough.

But you've got a look a little more closely to find these bizarre observations by a man who apparently thinks he's coherent enough to determine who's the MVP of major league baseball:

"Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees collected the hardware instead, despite the certain knowledge among Yankees fans that, despite a statistically terrific year, he wasn’t even the MVP of his own team."

What's the emoticon for stammering, shock, surprise?

One of my frat buddies had a barbecue over Memorial Day Weekend in Connecticut. One of our mutual friends lives in Montreal. We'll call him "George" for the sake of this story.

"George" was unable to attend the barbecue because he chose instead to drive to Toronto to see one of the last performances of the Lord of the Rings musical

Sometimes, no embellishment is needed:

"I also know that when the Red Sox lost Jason Varitek, their catcher and captain, they collapsed despite Ortiz’s continuing presence in the lineup. To me, that makes Varitek, not Ortiz, Boston’s MVP."
