Now we finally know the real truth behind Ortiz’s slump to the beginning of the year. He’s 3 for 43 on the season and struck out yesterday against Mussina. We know the slump won’t be forever, but the reason he’s suffering badly is because of…

This.  The famed jersey unearthed from the bowels of the new Yankee Stadium. His psyche had been suffering. Perhaps it should have been left buried forever?

Nah. I’d want it out too. The Yankees are doing a good thing of a bad thing by donating the jersey to the Jimmy Fund for charity.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a wrap of the BoSox series.
