On April 13th, David Ortiz had a batting average of .070, with 1 homerun and 3 RBIs. That same weekend, his jersey was dug out of its New Yankee Stadium grave in a pre-emptive attempt to thwart a curse. Well as of today, April 24th, Big Papi is hitting .188, has 3 homeruns and 18 RBIs. In a span of just 11 days he has more than doubled his batting average, dingers, and RBIs!
I had posted an article when the whole story of the jersey being uncovered came about and I cautioned the Yanks not to screw around with someone else’s bad joo-joo, but my warnings went unheeded. So it is now that I ask for good ol’ Hank to do something other than shoot off his soon-to-be turkey-necked pie hole and bid on the jersey, or just buy it outright from whomever has it, and put that thing back in the ground and hopefully bury Big Papi’s season before he continues to skyrocket out of this April funk.
And if all else fails, we might want to call on Jobu and see if he can help us out like he did Pedro Cerrano…
