David who?!


You really learn something new every day. Turns out noted steroid cheat (well maybe not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt but come on, a friend of Angel Presinal is overwhelmingly likely a friend of needles) David "Big Pop-Up" Ortiz is not the man we thought he was. That's right, his name is really David Americo Ortiz Arias, and that has been confirmed by the fine folks at Wikipedia.

Very interested in why he decided to chop off the Arias and go with just Ortiz. Didn't sound Hispanic enough? Some father's name/mother's name stuff?

Either way, clearly I'm gonna be calling him Arias from now on and I encourage you all to do so too.

Just look at the picture and explain to me how this guy ballooned into the guy he is now without the use of steroids.

Bill Simmons doesn't think Arias used steroids because... he utterly stinks now, as opposed to other ex-users who would now only be able to hit to the warning track. Yeah, that's compelling.

I clicked the ad twice because this is so damn funny. First the name. Then how tiny he is. David Arias definitely took 'roids.
