red sox legend david ortiz celebrates yankees loss with orioles nesn

There's nothing David Ortiz enjoyed more during his career with the Boston Red Sox than beating the New York Yankees. Ortiz's heroics in the 2004 American League Championship Series stand out as the Red Sox completed a masterful comeback. The Hall of Famer went on to hit .303 with 53 home runs in 243 games against the Yankees. That enjoyment still comes as a TV analyst with FOX Sports. The Yankees suffered a brutal late-game loss to the Orioles on Sunday that allowed Baltimore to re-gain a one-game lead in the AL East. While joined on set at All-Star media day by Orioles phenoms Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, the Red Sox legend took time to dunk on his rivals yet again.

"I watched the Yankees lose," Ortiz told the duo on the FOX Sports broadcast. "Nothing made me more happy than that." Could the Red Sox be World Series contenders this year? John Tomase and Tom Giles believe it’s a possibility. To this day, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz takes great pleasure in the New York Yankees' demise. Ortiz was among those who watched the Yankees' collapse vs.

Orioles stars Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman joined Ortiz and the FOX Sports crew on Monday, giving Big Papi a perfect opportunity to revel in the Yankees' defeat. Subscribe to NBC Sports Boston's podcast network to hear our Insiders bring you the latest insights on your favorite teams! David Ortiz was in attendance for the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field on Monday night, and prior to the event the legendary Boston Red Sox slugger-turned-MLB analyst conducted interviews with... Ortiz sat down with Baltimore Orioles All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman and shortstop Gunnar Henderson and quickly brought up one of his favorite topics of discussion: a painful New York Yankees loss.

In the Yankees' last game prior to the All-Star break, they fumbled a lead in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Orioles as a pair of defensive mishaps resulted in Baltimore securing... Ortiz told the duo that he was watching the game and admitted that, even in retirement, seeing his former rivals take a tough loss was still an incredible feeling. "Then I watched the Yankees lose. Nothing made me more happier than that. You guys coming from behind and whoop them," said Ortiz, before showing the defensive miscues from shortstop Anthony Volpe and left fielder Alex Verdugo. "That made me want to go out for a nice dinner, a big steak," added Ortiz.

After a crushing Game 1 loss and a missing opportunity to take advantage when the bases were loaded and no outs in the sixth, Aaron Judge said, “We’ve got to keep getting those opportunities... The Blue Jays shattered that belief in Game 2 with a 13-7 blowout. Toronto’s offense attacked Fried and threw him out of the game after just three innings and seven earned runs. They built a massive 12-0 lead before the Yankees even recorded their first hit. The promise of coming through transformed into a postseason nightmare that set the stage for a legendary rival to twist the knife. On the FOX Sports postgame show, the Boston Red Sox icon David Ortiz watched the collapse beside his old rivals, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

And he made a sarcastic remark. “They[Yankees] can bring Jesus back, and they’re still going to Cancun. It’s over. It’s a wrap.” After a few more comments, he continued with a smile, “The only chance the Yankees have is if you[Jeter], [Mariano Rivera], Andy [Pettitte], and AROD come back and play.” The “Cancun” joke started in 1998 with NBA player Nick Van Exel of the Los Angeles Lakers. Few things can numb the pain of a playoff exit, but at least the Boston Red Sox are getting to watch their arch-rivals get curb-stomped.

Two days after eliminating the Red Sox in the Bronx, the New York Yankees traveled north for the first two games of the American League Division Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. But it seems as though their talents were left on this side of the border. In Games 1 and 2, the Yankees got outscored 23-8, and it really wasn't that close. They trailed 12-0 on Sunday evening as Toronto laughed its way to a 2-0 series lead. One more loss, and the Yankees will join the Red Sox on vacation. Red Sox icon David Ortiz is famous for tormenting the Yankees in the batter's box, but he's also made a habit of laughing at their pain as an analyst for FOX Sports.

And after the Blue Jays' second blowout in as many days, Ortiz made sure to drive home the Yankees' misery. Responding to former Yankees great Derek Jeter saying New York's garbage-time rally on Sunday might have woken the bats up a bit, Ortiz dropped a downright hysterical bit of analysis about what it would... The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from capturing the 2024 World Series, and a Boston Red Sox legend didn’t miss his chance to take a shot at the New York Yankees. Los Angeles went up 3-0 in the series with a 4-2 win Monday night in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. A return to the Bronx didn’t awaken New York’s bats. Former Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo helped the Yankees get on the scoreboard, but the reaction to the late home run irked David Ortiz.

“I’ll tell you what, you hit home when you talk about the body language,” Ortiz said on the FOX postgame show. “Even when Fat Joe came out, the body language from the fans was like, ‘Damn, what’s going on here?’ Are we in a funeral already? I’ll tell you what, man. Your body language has to be there until the last out. Even when the home run was hit, they weren’t even celebrating. You got to come back with the body language.”

Ortiz knows a thing or two about coming back from a 3-0 deficit, and he expected the Yankees to give it everything they got to try to make World Series history.
