    Quite honestly, it makes me sad that I can’t display it at home or at my office. But, you know, young kids, workplace norms and all that shit.

    Are you worried that in a generation or two, the context will be lost and someone just finds it in an attic? Is there a "Destroy Upon My Death" clause in your will?

    It is certainly possible. He has gone public about taking Zoloft to manage social anxiety disorder and depression.

    Medication helps Greinke to perform at high level

    Can't say that makes me love the thread title calling him a weirdo. I've always been a big Greinke fan. Part of that was purely a fantasy baseball thing. He was my big sleeper in 2008 and a year later was his Cy Young season. But the former shy kid in me found his struggles with social anxiety fascinating.

    I’m banking on my descendents writing it off as CTE.

    Similar to an argumentative poster on this site.

    A poster on this site is better than 99.99999% of the world at something? Good for him or her!

    Seriously, which poster is it who is better than 99.99999% of the world at something? I think we're all dying to read this one.

    I think I can out-nap you. I'm sure JC will be back any minute now to clear this up for us.

    No,I think most people understand just fine what my point was.

    You mean you weren't saying that some poster here is among the best in the world at something? Perhaps you were showing a lack of proper respect for the challenges facing those with mental disabilities by attaching such labels to a poster you don't like? I tried to assume the best of you here, but that may have been an error on my part.

    Of course, you lacked the courage to name the person you were going after there, too, but that is not surprising.

    I guess the insensitivity to those with mental issues would fit in with the thread. Greinke has battled psychological issues for years, but somebody thought it was fine to call him a weirdo for it.
