It was discovered after one of the seasons that he had diabetes which was never known before and was a large part of his inconsistancy in the years prior. Once he was diagnosed with it, he set up a proper diet and has maintained a healthy, stable weight since. <BR/><BR/>There are more sites then DrunkJays and here, ya know. Battersbox talked about it extensively, at least in the comments section.<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-29780129903264519312009-01-05T17:07:00.000-05:002009-01-05T17:07:00.000-05:00Cubs sign Milton Bradley.I'm headed to a bar to dr...Cubs sign Milton Bradley.<BR/><BR/>I'm headed to a bar to drown my never ending sorrows.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-79801916214128814602009-01-05T15:07:00.000-05:002009-01-05T15:07:00.000-05:00Don't get us wrong...we've got a history of diabet...Don't get us wrong...we've got a history of diabetes in our family, and we've seen it up close. <BR/><BR/>In everyday life, it is not debilitating, and can be managed effectively through diet and insulin.<BR/><BR/>But being a big league pitcher isn't everyday life.
