Boston slugger David Ortiz enlightens us on what's really important in life:

On another topic, Ortiz said the issue of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball had been blown out of proportion. George Mitchell is expected to issue his report by the end of the year.

"It's like they've placed that issue on the same level as (the war in) Iraq," Ortiz said. "It doesn't make sense to hear people talk more about whether Barry Bonds used steroids than about people dying in Iraq."

It's not enough to be lectured on foreign policy and war by singers and comedians, no we need to hear what designated hitters think, too.
