I'm fvcken hopeless at spotting flaws in plots, ideas, themes, concepts. Boynton will often point out a crucial illogicality in a TV show which I've missed. "Canal Road is a stupid name; that's what Americans would call it." Yet, for what it's worth, I'm great at spotting typos and wrong facts and often wonder about how they occurred?
Like in today's Age Sporting Life column.
How did it happen that Chook McLure wrote about the Cleveland Indians' - "all the little kids" - David Ortiz?
AND we liked this line from Cleveland Indians baseballer David Ortiz who is nicknamed "Big Papi" for good reason, as a fan discovered this week. Seeing him in person for the first time, the fan said, "You look a lot bigger in person than you do on TV". Cracked Ortiz (all 193 centimetres and 105 kilograms of him): "I guess it depends on how big that TV is."
They don't come much bigger in Boston than Big Papi. On top of that, right beside the article there is a picture of Ortiz in his Red Sox uniform.

Big Papi is truly awesome. Picked up for next to nothing from the Twins, and was really only expected to do a bit of DH'ing, and platoon occasionally at first base. Instead, he's become the second coming of Big Jim Rice and is a total GOD for all Sox fans.
Mr Clutch during the amazing 2004 post season - a game winning HR against the Yankees in Game 4, followed by a game winning RBI hit later that same day in Game 5!
Was in the slump at the start of this year, until last night when he belted a Grand Slam.
It's going to be a good summer!!
(By the way, what's the 'form' on all these 'swap links' messages flying around?)

Dont be too surprised if Geoff McClure is made to "mysteriously disappear" by some irate Bostonians :)... Nobody messes with Big Papi.Or Manny ..

My best team of MLB is The Cleveland Indians . This why I always fallow their games especially whenever I have some time. I’m always trying not o miss any of their game and hear about the team’s news. But The Cleveland Indians tickets get more pricy especially when there are some hot games. But, if we’re really good fans we should try not to be mean when we’re talking about a favourite teams. It’s not only the Indians tickets that got pricy, but there are other major teams too, so the team needs our support and we should provide as much as we can.
