7 to 7 at Fenway: Ortiz impressive as usual

A day after signing his contract extension, David Ortiz was impressive in batting practice, knocking at least three shots out of Fenway Park this morning, projo.com correspondent Steve Peoples reports from the field.

But then, Ortiz seems to hit all the time, anyway. Doesn't he?

And center fielder Coco Crisp is still smiling despite a broken finger that will keep him out of the lineup for at least 10 days.

Wearing a silver splint on his right index finger, Crisp watched as Ortiz, Trot Nixon and other players took batting practice.

As helicopters flew through the clear sky overhead and his teammates took their rips, Crisp also joked with members of the large media contingent gathered record the Sox 95th home opener. Crisp apparently has as much charm as the guy he replaced.
