Wake-up call for Big Papi

DAVID Ortiz, reported PED-user and a player given to speaking vulgarities in public — he even shouted one into the public address microphone in Fenway Park — has been selected to send a recorded, nine-second weekday morning wake-up call to Boston’s public school students who register for it.

“Hey, kid, wake the f--up!” was not chosen.

Ortiz will be heard to say, “Wake up. It’s David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. Get out of bed and get ready for school. Your future is yours.” Whew.

As for Yoenis Cespedes’ golf game, Ralph Terry, a Yankees starter in the late 1950s and early ’60s who later became a golf pro, was forbidden by Casey Stengel to play on days he was scheduled to pitch that night. Terry would be caught “redhanded” when he showed up wearing a fresh sunburn.

So on days before he was to pitch that night, Terry played golf wearing a turtleneck and hooded sweatshirt.

Sunday’s Red SoxDodgers ESPN game will start at 7:10 p.m. instead of the usual but illogical 8:10 on Sunday nights. Why? Don’t know; don’t care. All I know is that it can be done, thus should’ve always been and now should always be.

Nurse! As seen on MLBN on Wednesday, the Marlins led the Cubs, 3-1, when Don Mattingly brought in Kyle Barraclough to pitch the seventh. He was superb — one, two, three including two swinging strikeouts. Of course, he then was removed. The Marlins lost, 5-4.

Sweet job by Howie Rose on Wednesday, remembering Bob Murphy on the day of his death, 12 years ago.

Reader Mark Morley: “If the Mets continue to stink they should have Bartolo Cologne Night.”
