From the papers of St. Louis comes this:
Infielder Khalil Greene was absent from the lineup for a second straight game Saturday after experiencing what the club hopes is only a temporary setback in his battle against an anxiety-related disorder.
So Khalil Greene is on the DL with a case of the SAD? I have to imagine that he’s having a hard time if it has now caused him to go on the DL twice this season. At the same time, I wonder if having your employers constantly announcing to the media that you have an anxiety problem isn’t compounding the issue…
Also doesn’t help that despite homering in his first 3 games back, his subsequent two hitless games caused LaRussa to immediately bench him for Joe Thurston. Way to help your guy get his confidence back, Tony.
