The Baseball Demon: 'Dry eyes' with that batting average?

'Dry eyes' with that batting average?

With a batting average of .197, through 51 games, most major leaguers would not be suffering from dry eyes. In fact, they would probably cry themselves to sleep nightly.

It is reported that David Ortiz visited an optometrist on Monday, for his dry eyes. Ortiz's slump continues as he left the optometrist's office with only a prescription for eye drops.

Since the prescription for the eye drops on June 8th, 'Big Papi' has gone 4-for-13 (.308) with 2 HR, and 3 RBI. It may be early, but I'd have to say he was having a hard time seeing the ball!

The suitcase is still empty, 'Anonymous'.

Rant of the Week

Yankee fans premature with standing 'O'On August 7th, 2009, fans in the new Yankee Stadium saw what could be one of the greatest games ever played...a 15 inning, 1 run game against the Boston Red Sox.Little did the fans in the stands know how foolish they would look when A.J. Burnett came out of the game!The stadium gave Burnett a standing ovation in the bottom of the eighth for his pitching performance. That was the most ridiculous thing I had seen from Yankee fans!Burnett had pitch 7 2/3 innings of shutout baseball against major rival Boston, BUT despite giving up only 1 hit, he left the game tied at zero and had given up 6 walks. Hardly a stellar performance.I agree that he pitched well, and well against Boston, but seriously he wasn't winning 1-0 just having given up the first hit. He walked 6 and could have been loosing by 3 or more if the lethargic Boston bats could have gotten something going.Come on Yankee fans, cheer Burnett as he walks off the mount, but a standing 'O' is a little Over the top!.
