If there was any more appropriate time to use public profanity, this may have been it.

In his return from injury, Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz spoke to the Fenway crowd during a pregame tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings as well as the law enforcement that helped bring suspect two into custody Friday night. During his speech Ortiz gave his praises to the police, the governor of Massachusetts, and the city’s mayor before proclaiming to the Boston faithful that “this is our f*cking city”.

If you heard it on ESPN it was bleeped but it looked as though the MLB Network carried the speech unedited.
