Joey Votto - Mangina

Ok, I know Votto is the man and all, and hes probably my 2nd favorite player after Phillips, but comon man, seriously? Your gonna leave a huge game with divisional implications on the line again?????  You would have to drag me off the damn field!  It seems like every fucking day he is leaving another game in the 3rd inning.  I want to pull my damn hair out!

 So Joey, please, for my sake, for the Reds sake, and for all of man-kind's sake... stop being such a pussy and grow a set.

thats just my opinion

Brendanukkah…. i am a college baseball player myself and I suffer from migranes… i experience a 50% loss of vision when they occur due to a “lightning-like blurs”. i was pitching in a big conference game when i came down with one in the top of the 5th inning. the catcher had to give me the signs by touching either his mask, chest, or cleats rather then the usual. i would up staying in the game with my head pounding, and unable to see the batter, and completed 6 innings. so yea, i know what it is like. it sucks, but sometimes you need to just toughen up.

delete the thread if u want, doesnt take anything away from these three facts:
1. i am a huge reds fan
2. votto needs to toughen up
3. the reds need him to win

if it is not obvious to any of you why this upsets me, then you must not care about winning and the reds finally have a team that can compete. when you aren’t a “great” team, every game counts. joey needs to be in there. period.

i guarentee you the old timers laugh at how pampered players are nowadays. cal ripken jr. is the perfect example of a guy who embodied the game, and played it with every bit of toughness/passion in his body.

rip on me all you want, i am just saying something that is true, despite the fact that you guys might not want to hear it.

you are a soccer coach...

you coach a bunch of foot-fairies… your whole team is probably pussy which is why you were probably forced to bench any player that had a paper-cut.

by the way, try telling that to curt schilling (bloody sock), or brett favre (played through numerous thumb and bicep injuries) or byron leftwich (couldn’t walk and led team to comeback win at marshall), or even kerri strugg!

the list goes on and on man… you have your opinion, i have mine. just because you took the time to write out something that agrees with the overall opinion on this “reds fan” site, doesn’t mean that you are correct. nor does it mean that i am correct, for that matter. all we can do is disagree.

Oddly enough Curt Schilling and Brett Favre are both total douche bags.

I believe we’re making a pretty strong correlation between douchebaggery and “toughness”… or ketchup stains. Hell, if we wanna talk tough, I finished baseball practice with blood running down my leg and ruining my shoe from a cut that actually cut into the muscle in my leg. And yes, I too, am a douche bag.

my mom had a stroke and because of it she is permantly dizzy

her dizziness is at different levels some days being tolerable and some days rendering her unable to drive a car. I’m guessing if dizziness won’t allow some people to drive cars, than Joey Votto probably shouldn’t be on a baseball diamond. It would be awesome to watch him strike out on 3 pitches looking, because he has no fucking clue what is going on.

Think it has more to do with

the flimsiness of your side of the argument- an argument based upon comparing our best player with the degraded, patriarchal, women hating notion of the vagina.

Well I think you are off on both accounts. Joey is clearly trying his hardest to get back on the field as much as possible but is being inhibited by health issues beyond his control, and the vagina is by far the most creatively powerful organ in existence within the animal kingdom.

Or maybe you are right, Votto is a “mangina.” The most creatively powerful in the animal kingdom.

I kinda thought it might be something like that

Wikipedia has a special section on it:

Chronic anxiety is a common side effect of labyrinthitis which can produce tremors, heart palpitations, panic attacks, derealization and depression. Often a panic attack is one of the first symptoms to occur as labyrinthitis begins. While dizziness can occur from extreme anxiety, labyrinthitis itself can precipitate a panic disorder.

I don’t think he’s a head case. I think it’s likely physical, and related to his ear infection.

I don't think the cause really matters that much

when it comes to the prognosis. Anxiety disorders are not uncommon, and nothing to be ashamed about. There likely is a physical cause behind them, even if there’s no ear infection involved. They are treatable, but it takes time to get the medication, etc., right. Dontrelle is back in the saddle after missing six weeks.

Agree that there should be a separate story on this. Of course, you could write one yourself. :)

I understand Buz's frustration

But I don’t think the problem is with Joey’s manness, the problem is how this has been managed. If Walt and Dusty would have manned up and made the decision 2 weeks ago, so he could get his shit straight then we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.

Hopefully everyone in his familiy is okay.

…if you’ve ever played the game of baseball, you’d know that the one thing you do not mess with is a player’s head. It’s not just a headache. Just ask Ryan Freel or for that matter Nick Esasky. There’s no way you can be a baseball player, not the least at the collegiate level (if you were a ‘real man,’ you’d own up to who you are), have any respect for what players go through, and think the way you do. You need to get off mom and dad’s computer, go outside and play some baseball, and while you’re at it grow up.
