"To ward off the bad juju, players too turn to rituals and fetishes. Nomar Garciaparra does a strange little dance, toe to heel and foot to foot. He fastens and unfastens the Velcro straps on his batting gloves and touches his wrists and arms in a compulsive sequence. Wade Boggs used to eat chicken before every game. This year, most of the Sox lineup shaved their heads. Johnny Damon, who kept his hair long, crashed into another player and got a concussion. He was asking for it. Garciaparra failed to cut his hair and immediately went into a slump."

do we really want to use the term "slide" or "I couldn't let that slide" with that particular gesture?
