Bronson Arroyo can see dead people

We are saddened by a recent release from the Reds PR department that announced rock guitarist Bronson Arroyo, also pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, is battling carpal tunnel syndrome, or the ability to see dead people.

Here are some quotes from the release...

Arroyo on pitching while a dead paperboy rides a bicycle around the mound in circles...
"It makes it harder to pitch, but I just have to deal with it."

Arroyo on pitching against the Yankees and the ghost of Mickey Mantle...
"My fingers were weak, like they were falling asleep. Then it went away. After I pitched the ALDS, it came back. I worried about throwing against the Yankees. I only threw a couple more times out of the 'pen. We went on to win, and in the offseason, it didn't bother me."

Dusty on the presence of a hippie stalker ghost in the clubhouse...
"Everybody thinks it's from him playing the guitar too much. He assured us he hadn't been. It's something he's going to have to deal with, and we have to find a way to solve it."

All jokes aside, this could be a potential career-ending malady for Bronson if it worsens over the next few years. If Bronson wants to defeat this, he needs to stop running away in fear and actually listen to what they're trying to say (the medical staff that is).
