They got to see the rare site of Ortiz playing the field at home (when he didn't HAVE to) and even more amazing, a Rick Porcello win.

How messed up do things have to be when you look at your roster and decide that putting a 39 year old guy at first base, who hasn't played more than 85 innings in the field in a season since he was in his 20's, is what's best for your team.

If you find yourself in that spot, and it's not barring a long series of catastrophic injuries, then it's your GM that fucked up.
