This story has been clarified. Read below.NEW YORK -- David Ortiz was annoyed -- with himself and New York Yankees catcher?Austin Romine.Starting his final series at Yankee Stadium, Ortiz went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and stranded seven runners as the Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-4 on Tuesday night and delayed Boston from clinching the American League East.Big Papi ended the game by fanning with two runners on when Tyler Clippard threw him a high, backdoor cutter. The 40-year-old slugger was succinct, saying, That aint fun.Ortiz also didnt like all the trips to the mound by Romine.They tricked me tonight. Too much talking between the pitcher and catcher, Ortiz said. Ill trick them tomorrow.Despite a stellar season, Ortiz said before the game that there is no way he will change his mind about retirement.My body is counting the days, let me tell you, he said. Its hard to play baseball when you are 40. Im not going to lie to you, its hard -- especially when youre looking everywhere around and everybodys 20. You can be a dad.Ortiz is hitting .318 with a major-league-leading 48 doubles, 37 homers and 124 RBIs. He hopes to earn a fourth World Series ring with the Red Sox.You often wonder why hes retiring, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Gosh, the year hes having, I would really have to think about coming back. But Im going to encourage him to retire.Ortiz has homered six times against the Yankees this season. New York has planned a pregame ceremony for Thursday.Yankee Stadium, it might be my favorite place to hit, to play, regardless, he said. The dimensions are perfect for a left-handed power hitter. All the emotions, all the adrenaline, all the competition competing against the Yankees has been outstanding through the years.Ortiz has 53 regular-season homers against the Yankees, all but one with Boston, tied with Hank Greenberg for fourth behind Jimmie Foxx (70), Ted Williams (62) and Manny Ramirez (55). His 31 homers at the old and new ballpark in the Bronx are tied with Mickey Vernon for second-most among visiting players, one ahead of Williams and one behind Goose Goslin.When he walked to the plate before flying out to center field in the first inning, Ortiz was greeted by a mixture of boos and cheers, with some fans rising to applaud.I think there will be a lot of respect paid for a guy whos had some good moments in here, Red Sox manager John Farrell said before the game, going on to compare this to the Fenway Park finales of Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter. Despite the rivalry, I think people appreciate baseball. They appreciate really talented players, and I would expect David to receive a similar treatment.Ortiz has been booed at Yankee Stadium since he joined the Red Sox for the 2003 season. But the jeers got more intense as his career progressed and he helped the Red Sox overcome a 3-0 deficit against New York in the 2004 AL Championship Series, then won World Series titles that year and in 2007 and 2013.It got more powerful now, he said. They know me a little bit more now.Ortiz took notice that a fan launched a website, moonbigpapi.com, encouraging spectators at Ortizs Yankee Stadium finale on Thursday to moon the Boston star.Can you imagine? Ortiz said, laughing. If it happens, Im going to make sure I got my cellphone in my back pocket.A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Gary Sanchez as the Yankees catcher Tuesday night. Sanchez was the Yankees designated hitter. Kole Calhoun Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Nolan Ryan Jersey .

Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. FRISCO, Texas -- The questions came at Dak Prescott almost as fast as the numerous Philadelphia pass rushers that made the Dallas quarterback look more like a rookie than any opponent so far.How could he not have heard that owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the Cowboys should ride with Prescotts six-game winning streak, and that Tony Romo was fine with it? What did he mean he stayed off Twitter all day? How busy could he be on the players day off?Does he believe in the hot hand theory?Yeah, sure. I mean its not anything I really think of, Prescott said after silently smiling at the suggestion that his boss was such a believer. You say I had a hot hand but I definitely wasnt hot early in that last game. Ive just got to come in and just worry about getting better.Theres no indication Romo, the 10-year starter, is replacing Prescott anytime soon as he continues his recovery from a broken bone in his back. And certainly not Sunday when the Cowboys (6-1) visit Cleveland (0-8).The public glimpses of Romos daily regimen vary.One day, the 36-year-old is going hard on individual drills in practice, taking snaps, rolling out, throwing with some zip even though he isnt listed as an official participant. The next, he does enough in practice to be listed for the first time since getting hurt in a preseason game at Seattle.And then there was Wednesday. Romo wasnt on the field making throws like he had been a week earlier. He was doing conditioning work on resistance cords with one of the athletic trainers after practice. He had the DNP designation again, just as he did Friday.The way we manage this situation, every situation, is to focus on Wednesday, coach Jason Garrett said. Thats what were trying to do. Thats what Dak is trying to do, thats what everybody on our offense and throughout our team is trying to do. Tony is trying to do that as well.A few weeks after saying Romo was the No. 1 quarterback, Jones finally acknowledged on his radio show Tuesday that a change during a winning streak was risky at best.You want to be very mindful of what youve got going, which right now weve got a lot of chemistry going, Jones said. That has got to really be recognized if youre making a decision.And that leads to the obbvious question of how Romo might be taking it.ddddddddddddTony has no issue with doing whats best for the team, absolutely no issue doing whats best for the team, Jones said. When youve got it going, we know these things can be a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everybody involved. We look at it that way.Romo briefly appeared in the locker room Wednesday, but didnt talk to reporters. Hes been a steady presence on the sideline with a headset all season, and Prescott said theres been no change in their interaction as the winning streak has grown.And while Prescott sticks with his mantra that its Tonys team, hes had enough success to earn a qualifier. Even after three quarters against the Eagles that were probably his worst as a pro, Prescott has a 99.6 passer rating with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.The 23-year-old led a 90-yard drive to a tying score in the fourth quarter. He never let Philadelphia and fellow standout rookie Carson Wentz get the ball in overtime, leading a 75-yard march to the 29-23 win .Really, its hard for me to say its Tonys team, its my team or anybodys team, Prescott said. Its a true team and everybody is playing their part in it.Prescott said footwork was his biggest problem against the Eagles, caused in part by heavy pressure from an aggressive defense. He bounced several throws, threw an end-zone interception that ended up putting Dallas behind at halftime, and had another near-pick that probably would have cost the Cowboys the game.But the bottom line isnt changing. And if it were, Prescott wouldnt spend any more time wondering when the Cowboys were going back to their franchise guy.It never goes through my head that Ive got to do this or that this is going to happen, Prescott said. I think they will make that decision regardless of how my play is if they want to make that. I just go in and worry about these teammates.And if he needs updates, he could always start looking at Twitter again.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Jerseys NFL China NFL Jerseys Outlet China NFL Hoodies China Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China NFL T-shirts From China Cheap Authentic Jerseys NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap Authentic Jerseys Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys ' ' '
