Fired Up

That's how you will not feel after reading Shank's column about Big Papi arriving at spring training. It's a decent enough column by Shank standards; maybe there just isn't a ton of things you can say about someone coming to the clubhouse.

Spotted in Steve Buckley's column, also on Big Papi:

Viewing the obligatory collection of misshapen media types standing off to the side, he laughed and said, “What’s up, (expletive)?” To one of them in particular, he leaned in and said, “Man, I thought you died!”

I wonder why that's in Buckley's column, but not Shank's?
