You figure he's in his 30s, he only knows how to play at one speed - all out - and you know that if he's hurt he's not the kind of mascot that's going to admit that he's hurt. So you gotta think maybe he's starting to break down a little bit. But here's the thing: we don't need the Phanatic in June; we're going to need the Phanatic in September and October. Put him on the DL, let him heal and take it SLOW. That way, when you get him back, he's back for good. I agree.
