Bummer

So, Ortiz got edged out by A-Rod - 331 points to 307. I'm sure the anti-DH sentiment worked against him. I love this quote from the Boston Red Sox/MLB official site:

"Anybody can go out there and make a play, but not everybody can come and hit a homer to tie a game or win a game or get a big hit in a big situation," said Ortiz during the 2005 season. "That's the toughest part of this game."

He's right - and A-Rod never came through in those big situations. Heck, I recall one of those big situations in game 6 of the 2004 ALCS - and he really proved his worth. Remember?
