Heyman says Atlanta might replace Snitker with Ron Washington or Bo Porter (both already in the organization)

Why? What's wrong with Snitker? Seems to be doing OK with what he has to work with.
(Brandy) only hinted at Halladay's personal issues during her Hall of Fame speech last July, when she said, "Roy would want everyone to know that people are not perfect. We're all imperfect and flawed in one way or another. We all struggle."

More importantly, the Braves should force Matt Kemp to join a gym in the offseason. I saw him tonight and mistook him for Prince Fielder.

Is that Pat Neshek?

Greinke is truly a miserable anti social misanthrope by all accounts.

Greinke's had a long history of social and anxiety issues. He's obviously got some mental issues he's dealt with over the years, so you have to remember that backdrop a bit when you read stuff like this. Doesn't mean he's not a dick, but it's something to consider.

huh. I was assuming the takeaway here was that there's a weird asshole bothering people for signatures

I would definitely agree on this point too. If he doesn't want to sign for whatever reason, just let it go.

On Greinke, though, you can have serious social anxiety and also not be a dick to people.

Yeah, I know anxiety and mental illness often are irrational but you think if his end game was that he just wanted him to go away he'd just sign his name a few times and be done with it
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

yeah seriously, it's a brotherhood!

If this was 1998, we might get a Celebrity Deathmatch episode out of this
