I can pitch with my plantar facitits, don’t feel it. But playing third and running the bases is really tough. I am going to try the acai juice.

Yeah, the stuff is pretty effective. It’s good, too. I prefer the Sambazon brand, since it’s strictly organic and processed immediately after the berries are picked, before they can lose much of their strength. Those things are so loaded with polyphenols and in such concentrations that the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory value is just tremendous. Bom Dia is another good brand. Sambazon also makes a terrific Acai sorbet, and sells packets of unsweetened acai pulp that I mix with Motts light apple juice or grape juice,a few bananas, blueberries and strawberries (or whatever’s hanging off my trees in any given season) to make my daily protein and high fiber smoothie.

I generally buy the packets, or the bottled juices, without guarana added. Guarana sounds exotic but it is just caffeine, coming from berries from a shrub that is in the coffee family.

I took Gator’s suggestion to heart and it helped mine out, too.

Tim Salmon had it, and it really dragged the tail of his career down.

He needs to drink two glasses of acai juice every day for a couple of weeks, then tail off to one glass every morning. Go ahead and laugh. It knocked mine out in a couple of weeks after three years of medication, stretching exercises and physical therapy didn’t do shit for it – and it never came back.

RA Dickey had it, IIRC, and it didn’t affect him much.
