I never bought into the fact you have to have a superstar batting behind you to do your job well. Especially for someone as great as Ortiz. Is Jason Bay not a good replacement?! What hasnt he done in Manny's absence? The guy has been every bit as good, if not better.
I have no explanation for why Ortiz is behaving the way he is.
Maybe he is like Funny Cide and no longer loves the game.
But then again I am a Boston homer!
