When you hire Red Sox fans to build the new Yankee Stadium, strange things are going to happen. Once such individual apparently figured he could curse the Yankees by burying a David Ortiz jersey in the Yankee Stadium foundations.

Regrettably, the guy's mojo seems to have some serious blowback. With the Ortiz jersey buried in Yankee cement, Ortiz himself started off the season in the worst slump of his career. And now that Yankee management has helpfully dug the damn thing out of the concrete, he hit 2 for 5 in Monday's game and looked a whole lot more comfortable at the plate.

It's not the worst mistake Yankee management has made over the past few years. They've got Carl Pavano to live down for a while yet...
