Do they give cortisone shots in between innings?

In other news, no one knows what its like

He got 9 outs. It might take Sanchez a full inning to get warm. No way I let Scherzer face the op of the lineup again

That’s how you lose games. How many times have we watched the Sox miss opportunities early in the game and lose? Greinke will start feeling the pressure.

Holy shit, Greinke is feeling it tonight. I want the Nats to win, but... he's a good dude, happy to see him having himself a game. So conflicted.

Why is there even a conversation about it Greinke takes anti-depressant / anti-anxiety meds?
Jason Johnson took insulin for his diabetes?
I'm sure other players take medication for high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Treating a diagnosed medical problem is now a PED? None of these are different.

I posted this earlier.

I'm kind of torn. I really want the Nats to win this game. But Zach Greinke is one of my 10 favorite non-Sox players of the current century.

I think my dream scenario is Greinke and Scherzer going 8 each, with the Astros up 1-0 after 8 innings. Osuna comes in and walks the first guy, then Zimmerman hits a ball so hard off of Osuna's forehead that it clears the wall in center field for a home run, and the Nats close it out to win 2-1. And Osuna never pitches on a baseball field again.
Still a chance.

I like Greinke. But I want the Nationals to win.

He's putting on a clinic tonight and looks completely focused and locked in. Scherzer doesn't, and I expected the times to be reversed.

Absolutely no one said it was a PED. I only wondered if what he was on was public knowledge, and apparently it is. Zoloft can have nasty side effects for some people.
