David Ortiz on the mend: shooting and recovery
- Thread starter Ed Hillel
- Start date
my definitive list of people i'm not related to who have given me more joy in my life than david ortiz:
with friends like these, who needs enemies?
Truck Dude's got some family jewels to rival those he kept safe for Papi.
The guy who drove Papi is my friend's Dad, met him once - really genuine guy (also has the nicest car collection I've ever seen)
He was sitting at the table next David when the shooting happened and I believe his SUV was valeted right out outside which is why that was chosen instead of being taken by ambulance.

This is why I love this site after all these years. Thank you for sharing this information.
Unless I saw the video wrong, Papi still managed to move away after getting shot, so I don't think that'd be a concern. The biggest concern going forward is probably infection.
Just hearing this. It’s 12:10 am and I won’t be sleeping tonight.
Be ok, Papi. I love you. We love you. The world needs you.

On a day which saw the Sox drop three out of four to the co-division leader and fall further into mediocrity, baseball found a fresh and familiar way to remind of how fragile the mortality of a life is let alone an at-bat or a season. What is and isn't life and death. This was the latter.
But it sounds like Papi fouled the latest toughest pitch off and is smacking together freshly spit on hands. The next pitch is going bridge and we're all walking home like it was '04...or '07...or... Stay strong Papi. Everyone is behind you. Literally everyone.

"Big Papi gets shot" is way down my hypothetical list of things that might happen today. It's like halfway down page nine, with page one consisting of North Korea bombs Japan, or US declares war on Iran.
I pray for his full recovery, and that we will get some laughs from him about this incident eventually.

Says it’s one of the most advanced medical centers in Central America and the Caribbean. That’s encouraging.

That area of Santo Domingo is by no means a ghetto - there's a lot of very nice restaurants/hotels. When I visited, even as the only gringo within 100 miles I felt completely safe. Can't speak to that specific center but don't be imagining a tent with a stethoscope

Thank God.
Translate: Father of David Ortiz says that David is already at rest, there were no affected organs and total recovery is expected.

SO glad to hear this. Heal quick big guy. All of Red Sox nation is thinking about you!
Local press, just reported on words from David's brother to ESPN that he is out of surgery and recovering. Surgery went well, no major organs effected, expected to make full recovery.
The Bruins and some pendejo's poor aim saved today from being the worst day in the history of Boston sports.
So thankful. I learned my sports threshold tonight. Losing Papi or the thought of it put me in tears.
Wouldn't have helped him in this case. He never saw it coming. Too bad his body guards weren't on the job (Apparently).
Besides David doesn't strike me as a gun carrying type of guy. Let the pros handle security.
so sick of the current state of affairs, existentially, right now.
read this thread from the beginning and am starting to experience some form of relief.
that said, the entire notion of this shit.../vomit.
