…what appeared to be a very promising start to 2008 turns rather sour.

David Ortiz Out At Least 1 Month

It’s his wrist.  Apparently, he heard a “pop” after a swing, followed by some “clicking”.  Dr. Jimmy says: when your wrist sounds like a breakfast cereal, there is likely something amiss.

As we know from the years of watching Nomar Garciaparra slowly decline, the wrist is a spot of extreme vulnerability for a hitter.  It reminds me of a popular game from my childhood, The Legend of Zelda, where you faced an enemy that could only be killed by shooting him directly in the testicles with a golden arrow.  Or, something like that.

The details of the prognosis are still a bit hazy, so stay tuned.
