In an odd and unusual tirade, Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz told reporters Thursday that there's too much media-driven drama surrounding the club, and people should leave the players alone and let them concentrate on playing baseball."It's starting to become the s--- hole that it used to be," Ortiz said. "Look around, bro. Playing here used to be so much fun, and now every day it's something new not even related to baseball. People need to leave us alone and let us play ball, man, and let us do what we know how to do."In his blog on Monday, ESPN baseball insider Buster Olney wrote that an "unhappiness that exists among the Boston players and staff is multi-layered and deep." Red Sox players have denied the report's characterization of the clubhouse.The source of Ortiz's frustration stems from all the "media drama" surrounding this team, and he admitted that he's not having fun.

A win streak would do wonders here. Too bad the last decade is over and Boston sports are going to be mediocre again.
