In a posting yesterday, I discussed Justin Duchscherer and mentioned his battle with depression. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN has a very good article on Duke today and how he’s coping. I wish Duke well and hope he’s able to get back on the hill soon.

“I was in the airport and it was time to go and I froze,” Duchscherer says. “I couldn’t even get on the plane to do something I’ve loved my whole life. You go from excited and looking forward to being back with the guys and playing ball to sitting at your house saying, ‘What happened?’
