Lest I appear insensitive, I wish to say something about Aubrey that, in part, explains his strange behavior at second base, and how, if I sounded less than civil, I apologize.

Aubrey went on the disabled list on Wednesday because of an "anxiety disorder."   A contributing factor is his .182 batting average, but his memory glitch is probably what sent him over the edge.  As the old saying goes, he may have forgotten more than some young players will ever know.

The other day, I wrote a letter to the editor excoriating "hunt clubs."  I suspect it will not be published, because the editor is a hunter, but I do understand that he eats every wild beast he kills for its exotic taste.  My criticism was of the practices of other "sportsmen" who pay $85 for the privilege of killing birds which have been previously captured and subsequently "released" to satisfy their blood lust.  Especially offensive is the unlimited pheasant hunt being regularly featured at the local "Indian" casino.  How ironic is this perversion of Native American culture?
