The Disabled List

So you are sailing along playing a sport, let's say MLB, and you stop hitting so well...and then management comes to you and says that you are on our 25 man roster and we don't want to send you down to the minor leagues...and you just stare at him and say it's early and I've only had 19 at bats...and he says that he knows that and it would be best if you just took some time off to find yourself...so let's put you on the DL (disabled list)...well and you say but I'm not disabled and there is nothing wrong with me... and he says yes there is you have a hurt wrist and we need to put it in a cast... So just exactly what is a DL? It is a method of harboring and adjusting a MLB lineup...for sure there are guys that are on it that are really hurt, but there are just as many who are not...

The NBA has this and it is much more blatant than MLB's...every team has a couple of guys on theirs...

I'm just saying...
