David Ortiz appeared on Live With Regis & Kelly this morning- conveniently, massive Yankees fan Regis was not around to participate in the fun. Damien Fahey filled in for Regis, and fangirled all over Big Papi. Kelly also dressed up like Manny Ramirez towards the end of the segment- which basically involved her putting on a rasta wig with dreads, and trying to talk like what she thinks a gangster sounds like. We're not laughing WITH you, Kelly- we're laughing AT you.

I really was hoping he'd turn around, and the back of his jacket would have a giant bedazzled Lamborghini on it.

Big Papi talked about how he got his nickname (he couldn't remember people's names, and so just used to call everyone 'Papi', so they called him Big Papi in return), about how Papelbon is crazy and about A-Rod, saying everybody wants him on their team because he's a great player -- but "right now, we're just focused on signing Mikey Lowell."

Papi is called out for saying everybody wants A-Rod

We also learn about Papelbon's pregame superstition ritual of going in and turning on every single shower head before taking his shower, which fogs up the locker room and makes the other guys sweat who are trying to dress out for the game. Papi also points out that Papelbon is not a very good dancer.

He also talked about the possibility of playing for the Yankees someday: "You know, I have a lot of respect for the Yankees, and I think they're an amazing organization, but I think I'm a Red Sox for life".
