Best wishes to Ortiz for a full and speedy recovery.    Not my favorite player by any stretch, but it’s a real shame this happened.   

True, but whats the count up to, at least 4 American couples in the past couple of weeks from the same resort have gotten ill and even died?

I agree, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Not my favorite player either, but nobody should have to go through this.

Hope he's alright.  Saw the Sox are sending a plane down to bring him back to the States.

Going to roll my eyes on that one.

Doesn't do any harm but I'm quite sure Ortiz can swing a plane to the states on his own.

Ortiz was so clutch for his entire career, the Red Sox should cover all of his transit requirements for the next 40 years. 

I look forward to seeing him in the Bruins' duck boat parade on Friday....I'm sure he has the route memorized.

Yeah, I dunno why you'd roll your eyes at that.  I mean, I know you're trying to be cool.  But if the Orioles had a guy like that, I'd hope Elias would send a plane for him.

Yeah but you can't drink the water.  I don't go any place where you have to stay in a resort that has armed guards.  Doesn't sound like a fun type of vacation. Tons of traffic fatalities as well.

That is great.  I hope he recovers well in Boston.

I'd rather he sign draft picks.

Seems to me they are making a pointless gesture in an effort to look good.

You do something for a 19 year old in A ball that gets shot you get my attention.

You are just arguing to argue at this point.

Not sure they need to actually make any effort to look good.....they look good no matter what they do.

It doesn't bother me it is just unnecessary.  Like I said, go find a kid in A ball that needs help paying his rent.

I stayed at a resort in Punta Canta and it was awesome...didn't leave resort, but there weren't armed guards.

I am sure if they helped a kid in A ball with his rent you would have issues with that as well.
