Poor Nomar adds injury to inadequacy
Baker gave him Monday off but Nomar went 0-for-5 Tuesday. Garciaparra then volunteered to vacate his No. 3 spot in the order: "I said, 'If you switch me, it's not like you're gonna hurt my feelings. I wanna win here. If you feel you have to do that, it doesn't bother me. Don't make the decision based on how I'm gonna take it."'
CHICAGO PAPERS CALLING NOMAR AND WALKER "DOUBLY-CURSED." HE IS NOW ON THE DL, AND IT IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT HE WILL MISS THE RED SOX-CUBS SERIES IN JUNE. -NF
