This just pushed them over the edge. Sad really. Some people will never be able to live and enjoy life again. That’s not hyperbole either. I hated my psychiatric rotation in school. Really depressing to see how messed up some people can get. I couldn’t deal with it. Longest month of my schooling. Expand Humans have a lot of issues. Most of the time we don't see it but the human race is a mental basket case on the whole. People also don't notice it until it affects them too. But take a random sample of humanity and the majority of them have some aspects that would give a psychiatrist a hard-on. The number of germaphobes is striking and COVID likely was cataclysmic for them. Several years ago (pre-COVID) while driving down to Albany we had a car issue on I-89 and were assisted by a NY State Trooper. He wore black gloves the whole time which I thought was interesting for the situation, like he wouldn't be concerned with finger prints or whatever. He took the gloves off right before he left but as we thanked him for the assist in securing a tow, I went to shake his hand and he said "Oh sorry, I'm a huge germophobe, I don't shake hands, I won't even pick up a restaurant menu. I just took off my gloves." I thought it was an interesting line of work for someone like that, but thank you for your service. Maybe he was messing with me and as a rule doesn't shake hands, but he actually said he doesn't touch restaurant menus. This jacked dude with a bulletproof vest talking about germs. The human mind is interesting. I can't imagine that type of person dealing with COVID though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue the equivalence to Sale and Eovaldi. This year’s working out for Eovaldi, last year not so much-2 years left.. Expand Yeah Sale and Eovaldi were paid way too much. They were basically paid for past performances that seemed like a thank you contract. Luckily Eovaldi is working out this season and hopefully Sale can come back strong, but no way those guys would get those deals a year later from their signing. Cole is having a great start again. Sox are only leading because Eovaldi is pitching well and the Yankee offense is dead... Cole's also lucky KiKi didn't hit that ball just now about 1-2 feet further and it's a home run. But he's an ace pitcher, no question. The Stanton contract is definitely the worst IMO. Paid like $27-$30 mil a year through 2027 for a DH that doesn't play the field. Leaves very little roster flexibility if you can't put him in the field. This game is a solo home run away from a tie anyway. Great pitching tonight.
