09/13: Abreu & This Weekend's Boston Series
Abreu's swing last night was the easiest long HR stroke I've ever seen. He looked like Ernie Els hitting a sand wedge. To drive a ball like that from what looked like an on-deck circle warmup swing? That's frightening talent.
Also, given Jeter's stinging rebuke to Ortiz's MVP kvetch, count me as worried that the Sox will look for spiteful, frustrated payback next weekend in the form of hit batsmen and similar tactics.

I don't think it was a stinging rebuke at all. If you read the transcript of what he said, in context, the "something to play for" comment was not a shot at Ortiz.
It's the media looking for a story.
