BALTIMORE - David Ortiz has made an effort to douse a firestorm he created with remarks about the MVP race that were perceived as digs at Derek Jeter. The Boston slugger has reached out in several ways to let the Yankee captain, his biggest rival in the MVP chase, know he was never critical of his candidacy.
The two had not yet spoken last night, but the message had been delivered. It probably won't be enough to keep Ortiz from playing the lightning rod in the first meaningless September series between the ancient rivals in five years.
"Nothing more I can do about it now," he told the Daily News.
Ortiz, the AL leader in home runs (48) and RBI (127), was obviously upset Tuesday to have been painted as disparaging Jeter to further his own candidacy.
"That's not me," Ortiz said. "That's not what I'm about. ... That guy is one of my favorite players. You never talk (trash) about Derek Jeter, bro. It's wrong."
Ortiz said in an interview with the Boston Globe that "Jeter is not a 40-homer hitter or RBI guy" and "the bottom line is the guy who hits 40 homers and knocks in 100, that's the guy you know helped your team win."
He insisted Tuesday, after other media outlets portrayed the remarks as self-serving digs at his rival, that he was explaining how he philosophically believes the MVP should go to a power hitter.
Ortiz also said he used Alex Rodriguez's 2003 MVP for the last-place Rangers to underscore the importance of power hitters winning the prize, and not to suggest his candidacy shouldn't be hurt by the Sox dropping out of contention.
"(They) made me look stupid," Ortiz said of the stories that appeared Tuesday.
Ortiz is probably right about one thing: he's going to be the object of every Yankee fan's hostility this weekend.
hahahaha....David Ortiz is on Derek Jeter's dick!
