I’m wondering how quickly the number 34 Red Sox jerseys will depreciate in price over the next 24 hours, as news of Big Papi allegedly taking steroids in 2003, surfaces to Fenway fans.

I guess those baseball cards I’ve been collecting of David Ortiz are depreciating fast, just like those of his sidekick, Manny Ramirez. No wonder he didn’t criticize Manny when his name came up before being suspended earlier this summer.

A giant shot to us Red Sox fans. I wonder how many other baseball heroes are on that 103-name secret list of steroid users. Ortiz, you too let us down.
