Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz lased out at reporters after going hitless on Tuesday night against the Yankees.

Ortiz exploded when reminded that his struggles last April and May would be a hot topic if he was slow at the start of this season as well.

"Good," he said. "You guys wait 'til [expletive] happens, then you can talk [expletive]. Two [expletive] games, and already you [expletives] are going crazy.

"What's up with that, man? [Expletive]. [Expletive] 160 games left. That's a [expletive]. One of you [expletives] got to go ahead and hit for me."

Ortiz is 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout through Boston's first two games.
