David Ortiz
More tested positive
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 | MLB | No Comments
Not a big surprised that Manny Ramirez was on the list of major league players that tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs back in 2003. The name I was not expecting to see was David Ortiz who also showed up on the list. Ortiz is a power hitter but not a great example of someone in super shape. Names have been coming out slowy from the 2003 list of 1,198 players that got tested. The list was meant to be keep anonymous and so far it has not worked out that great for the players.

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 4-1 in ALDS Game #1. Red Sox Pitcher Jon Lester pitched 7 superb innings, giving up only 6 hits and 1 run, while striking out 7. Red Sox Closer Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless 9th inning, giving up 1 hit but striking out the side to record his first save of the 2008 post-season. After falling behind 1-0 on a Torii Hunter RBI single in the 3rd inning, the Red Sox took the lead for good on a Jason Bay 2-run home run in the 6th inning off Angels starter John Lackey. It was the first post-season game in Jason Bay’s career, as he came over to the Red Sox in the mid-season trade of Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Red Sox tacked on 2 insurance runs in the 9th inning on RBI singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and David Ortiz off of Angels reliever Scott Shields. ALDS Game #2 features 18-3 Daisuke Matsuzaka for the Red Sox against 16-7 Ervin Santana for the Angels.
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 in NLDS Game #1. Phillies Pitcher Cole Hamels pitched 8 shutout innings, giving up only 2 hits and striking out 9. Brad Lidge gave up 2 hits and 1 run in the 9th inning, but held on to record his first save of the 2008 post-season. The Phillies scored all 3 of their runs in the 3rd inning, 2 on a double by Chase Utley. All 3 runs were unearned, courtesy of a botched catch by 2nd baseman Rickie Weeks who was covering 1st base on a sacrafice bunt by Cole Hamels. The Phillies scored all 3 runs following the error. NLDS Game #2 features Brewers ace CC Sabbathia against Phillies starter Bret Myers.
