Nationals @ Marlins, Game 2

[PANatsFan]

Tobacco is the hardest thing I ever quit.     I quit a lot of crap over the years.   MDS nailed it.   DJ is a "junkie".

My cousin had esophogeal cancer and he never used tobacco. It changed his whole life but thank God he's still around. He's not nearly as goofy as he used to be. I really love the guy.

it is depressing to see Davey always with a wad, after all the health issues he's had.

Maya? why aren't we trying to win? Where's Clippard?

It's the 7th inning in a tie game, dummy.

What's depressing about the guy living his life the way he wants?

Isn't DJ a cancer survivor? Why in the freaking freak is he chewing tobacco?

he had a heart stent put in I believe, and almost died from an appendix infection that went undetected until it burst, but I don't think he's ever had cancer.  He mentioned in a recent interview that he is an exercise nut now.

FP:  Wonder if the bullpen is feeding off each other.  Drink!

And drink another one for bad grammar.

 

[Nathan]

He'll manage.

ever see someone die of cancer?  My dad died of lung cancer, it wasn't pretty.

I have  ...   death is never "pretty".

When my wife and I were 28 or so she quit smoking and I quit chewing, but we vowed that if we hit 65, we'd start again.

It's only 13 years away now...

I was thinking of that very scene when I replied!

Everytime a tobacco user croaks early due to tobacco use, it's sad for someone.  Most of em don't even "want" to, they just don't have the will to overcome the addiction.  I don't know if it's depressing but it's sad and frustrating.

Maya pitches a good innings of scoreless relief, lets hope that's all for him

I walked around for like 24 hours with appendicitis and it had ruptured before surgery  -that sucks noodles. With heart problems he shouldn't be using chaw.

My grandfather finally quit cold turkey when the dr said "smoke and you will die" - I like that dr.

Davey had 5 surgeries to get rid of the infection.  He also lost his daughter in her early 30's.  He's been to hell and back.

I never said death was pretty, but it's part of life.  And yes, I have seen two of the closest people in my life die because of cancer.  Another reason I live by the "freak tomorrow, live today" motto.

I think that diabetes might now actually be the leading preventable cause of premature death.

Me too bro.   I quit when they found a growth on my larynx.    It was benign.   

Edit:    Let me amend that to state I quit tobacco.

He's nails, for sure.
