Ortiz wonders if Valentine has ‘mental issues’

Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was diplomatic when asked about former manager Bobby Valentine’s comments about him at an introductory news conference Monday at Fenway Park.

But in an interview with ESPNDeportes.com, Ortiz was far more revealing in his response to Valentine’s suggestion on national television that Ortiz “decided not to play anymore” after the Red Sox traded stars Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Carl Crawford.

Comments

Time will tell who has the mental issue after spending $30M.

ha ha ha ha ha ...you got that right.

What was said about Ortiz was right on but because it was Bobby Valentine saying it the media goes hysterical.

Really wish some journalism professor would do a case study on the media coverage of Bobby Valentine.

We've seen not only a raging agenda but an embarrassing pack mentality......lemmings going off the cliff.

What's so apparent is just how weak and spineless the media has become.

Parrots!     

Funny that David didn't think it wasn't crazy to barge in on a manager's press conference to voice an obcenity laced complaint about an RBI scoring issue.
