Slumping Ortiz plans to get eyes checked

you would think this was already checked, but hey who knew, maybe Jim Ed talked to him about Dr. Melki

Slumping Ortiz plans to get eyes checked
David Ortiz doesn't think that his seasonlong slump has anything to do with his eyes. At this point, though, he's willing to try just about anything.

Ortiz, who didn't play in Boston's 6-3 win Thursday, is hitting .187 with one home run.

"I've been thinking about getting my eyes checked," he said. "My vision has always been 20-20, and I'm not feeling anything crazy, but I'm going to get it checked out."

They're really digging at the bottom of the barrel now...:crying:

Also, they are looking into the possibility that his bat is haunted.

I wish it was something as simple as needing vision correction. His bat is slow. He doesn't swing with his eyes.

This will be his grac3acefull exit. They will find "something" wrong with his perfectly good eyesight and this lets them get rid of him without actually getting rid of him and lets Papi save face.

Hmm...or maybe he's not hearing the ball coming at him??? Oh and for any of you that know little sox fans... I just heard about this contest to win a chance to play baseball with Dustin Pedroia its Salem Five's website.
