silent treatment (n) -- in baseball, the act of covertly acknowledging a player's home run by ignoring him as he enters the dugout.
Last night's was a classic. The best thing was the fact that struggling Papi knew it as soon as he got into the dugout after connecting on his grand slam. He took out his dip and then everyone jumped him. It would have been better if they could have kept it going longer.
By the way, Ortiz looks like he is ready to break out. Hitting the ball the other way (homer and line out last night) is a big time sign of a player that is relaxing and staying back on the ball. For the first time this week, I am playing Ortiz on my fantasy baseball team. He also gets righties both Saturday and Sunday.
95% sure I'll be attending my first Sox game of the year tonight.
