"But there are certain moments where you need to put your head down, and just do the damn work. It may not be what you absolutely want to do, but the best way to tackle anything that seems like a wall is to run right the fuck through it with hard work." It's not that I don't agree; it's just that it can be a lot more difficult to that for those who have to battle depression/anxiety, as I do(throw in ADHD to add to the "fun"). And it is NOT an excuse or a crutch. I'm doing the best I can, but some days are harder than others for the likes of us. Some are in a lot worse place than I am, so I keep that in mind too. You seem like the type of quality human being that would be understanding of this, so it's not that I have any doubts about you in regards to this. I just felt like saying what I've said here, and I hope that's okay.

Completely get it, Todd. Good stuff. My wife deals with depression and anxiety, so it's given me the unique perspective to see her tackle a day. It's a general comment that isn't tailored to everyone. Thanks for reading and commenting, my friend.

Dream:

Right on with our bad Manager; grabbing defeat from the jaws of possible victory in a VERY important game and series.

It appears that no matter what this team does it finds its way back to the 500 ball club destiny!

I was hopeful that the moves they made at trade deadline might pay off; still a little early to say but not promising so far.

Why is it anathema for this team to play their nine best players every night. What message was sent to Siani, Winn and the other young players? The message I read is, “let’s not hurt anyone’s feeling on this roster.” Great way to attain mediocrity.

Let’s make a real statement; fire MO’s blowjob manager and put someone in with experience and a passion to win.

Carlin Dead but frustrated at incompetence
