Re: Votto Opens Up...

I am glad Votto is back, but sadly I think there will be some distension in the clubhouse if this team continues to spiral down. It isn't his fault and its not fair to judge if he needed to be on the DL or not as different people are just that, different, but we did hear rumors that some players were not all that pleased with him on the DL.

Votto's pain is something he'll never get over, but hopefully this was the time he needed personally to get back on the road to feeling right and happy.

Only thing I can say to those shallow individuals is thank God its not you (not directed at you Mission. But those clowns that call in the banana phone, other sites, etc). Those who are more worried about baseball in Votto's case have 0 understanding of what the darkness of depression can do to a person. Its not about a damn game its LIFE, Its Votto's life were talking about.
