Bill Simmons - It's hard to say goodbye to David Ortiz
Great piece by Bill Simmons on the decline of the Large Father. FWIW, I don’t think Papi’s current decline is a sign of stopping using a banned substance — Why would he stop now? Nothing has changed in MLB testing over the last couple of years.

Outstanding (and lengthy) article by Bill Simmons about the end of the Manny era in Boston. Sums up everything I felt about the whole affair — that it stank to high heaven, and I miss Manny as a player. I wish him all the best this postseason, and pray he doesn’t become a MFY next year.
