It turns out ... and this happens very infrequently ... that I was right about what was bugging Joey Votto. He returned to the Reds yesterday after missing three weeks. It sounds like after his dad died last August at the young age of 52 ... the sadness of that coupled w/ a realization that "we are not infinite, we are not permanent" ... pretty much got him in a bad state. At one point while on the DL, he called 911 at 3am fearful he was dying,
"I could not take it," he said. "I thought I was going to die."
So glad he's doing better and hope he realizes that it's a really a perverse sort of gift to know that life doesn't last forever.

You nailed it, Bud. Saw in the paper today that Tim Krekel died. He was only 58. MOM
