Red Sox Big Papi Confident In Bruins
BOSTON (CBS) - Since joining the Red Sox in 2003, David Ortiz has not only embraced the city, but the other sports teams that he shares the spotlight with.
He is often seen at Celtics games, many times helping Lucky the Leprechaun during a time out, and is also a fan of the Patriots and Bruins.
It looked as though he took offense when WBZ-TV's Steve Burton asked him if he followed the Bruins before the Red Sox' 8-7 comeback win on Monday night.
"Come on man, what a question," Ortiz replied.

"My man Thornton, go get it big boy!," Ortiz said about Shawn Thornton, who used Ortiz' locker when the Bruins played at Fenway Park in the 2010 Winter Classic.
"We are home, so look out," a confident Ortiz said about Game 2. "I'll be watching guys, so do your thing. We pulling for you all."
