Sox Streakers for May 21 »

Not just another slow start

Here are Manny Ramirez's batting averages, on-base percentages and slugging percentages on this date in each of his Red Sox seasons. As the numbers indicate, this early-season slump has been longer and more severe than anything Ramirez has had in his career. He's had a lower batting average once (in 2005), but never has he come closee to having OBPs or slugging percentages as low this late in the season.

2006 .292 .434 .489
2005 .230 .353 .511
2004 .357 .430 .611
2003 .306 .394 .482
2002 .372 .497 .673
