    I wish this is what AP would've sent...rather than a 17-inch story that I whacked down to about 6.

    You could soooo work for USA Today. Sapping the soul out of a story is what they do well!

    The White Sox fell out of first place the day of the first preseason game. Coincidence? I think not. It's football season.

    Did that one year. That's a case when the cure is worse than the disease IMO.

    I actually signed up to play fantasy football again this year. I didn't know what I was thinking.

    You know what? Baseball sucks. No, it doesn't just suck. It fucking SWALLOWS, OK?

    Now get off this damn thread and STFU </George Carlin if he weren't a baseball looser fan>

    Just a couple of years ago, Chamique Holdsclaw misses a shit load of games for a "private" health-related condition. No one's talking. Everyone who gives two shits about the WNBA in Washington is freaking out thinking the worst. Then we find out she was battling depression.

    Seems like there's still a stigma attached to the disease.

    Not seems. Is. It would be nice if that changed soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath until it does - if it ever does.

    I don't know if it's a stigma, as much as it's just not understood, or taken very seriously. But are people ashamed about suffering from depression nowadays? I don't think so.

    Seems like half the people I know have dealt with it more than once.

    T.Donaghy, P.Rose and A.Schlichter have each already booked thousands on this proposition.
    It's a lock.
