The big news conference turned into a lack of news. No one knows anything. No one is saying anything.
David Ortiz says he never purchased or used steroids. OK, I take him at his word. When Sean McAdam asked Big Papi why he waited so long to disclose this info Ortiz never really answered the question. The remaining questions were pretty easy. And Ortiz did say he has passed numerous tests since then.
Given the legal mess associated with the leaking of names on the "anonymous" 2003 report, I guess we should not have expected anything else. I wish a reporter would have asked Ortiz if he ever put a needle in his butt. That would have been interesting.
Getting this weight off his shoulders didn't help Ortiz or his teammates swing the bats any better in a 5-0 loss. Maybe today is the day the offense comes back to life. Let the steroids mess be cleaned up by attorneys at $400 per hour. Attorneys always win.
