Article: GARCIAPARRA CAN'T GET MOJO WORKING.(Sports)

Byline: PAUL OBERJUERGE

Nomar Garciaparra has lost his mojo.

Just a minute ago he was a slugging superstar. A guy whose clutch hitting and memorable home runs carried the Dodgers into the 2006 playoffs and earned him a two-year, $18.5 million contract.

He had a nice April this season, batting .307 with 19 RBIs.

And then his mojo went missing. He woke up May1, and it was gone.

Seized by international supercriminals, perhaps? Stolen by a cabal of opposing pitchers? Left behind in the trunk of a rental car?

Smothered by a couple of new babies in his Manhattan Beach home?
