I just can't think of something similar from a 33 year old. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:51 17
- 40 year olds don't fall off this quick. It might be age, but this doesn't fit *any* pattern. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 08:52

  - vaughn maybe....but that was direct injury (tricep?)...same with Belle's hip degenerating. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:54 7
    - That's what age is though. Sans injury, just age doens't make you fall off a cliff. - musubi Jun 2, 08:57 6
      - Belle's not in the same category for me at all. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:59 5

        Or any of the other random people he was an ass to. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:02

    - Glenn Davis? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:54 3

        30+ homers in the astrodome, doe snot hit 30 in 4 seasons after the trade. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 08:56 1
        
        Yeah, that's a good one. I forget why he started sucking, if there was a reason. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:57
- Andruw. -- nm - David Jun 2, 08:52 1
  - At least with Andrew there were visible signs though. - musubi Jun 2, 09:00
