Goodbye To Our Childhood Hero
WEEI Sports Radio Network

Growing up just 45 minutes outside of Boston, I have always been a Boston sports fan. Every fan from Boston is dedicated, caring and extremely competitive. That being said when the Red Sox were swept on Monday night by the Indians, every fan in Boston was upset. We were not just upset about the loss in the ALDS, we were upset because we were losing the heart of the Boston Red Sox, David "Big Papi" Ortiz. Why will we miss him? Here's only a few of the many reasons we are sad about the loss of a Boston Hero.

1. His smile

That contagious smile of his that makes every one in the world happy.

2.His dance moves

I don't care if you are a Boston fan or not, this is gold.

3.His home runs

Everybody's favorite memory from their first game is seeing a home run, it's even more special when it is a Big Papi one.

4.His classic mannerism across home base

When you see those two hands go up in the air, you know it's a good game.

5.His Love for this city

He is so passionate about Boston and has always been from the start.

6.His passion for the game

His love for being out on the field at Fenway Park with a big smile on his face.

7.His loyalty to Boston

13 seasons with the team that he loves, that is loyalty for his team.

8.His humor

He has the sense of humor of a comedian and can always make anyone laugh.

9.His love for his teammates

He gets along with everyone on the team and he shows that at many different times.

10.Him

Thank you Big Papi for all that you have done for our city.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
