08:14 AM ET 04.26 | The Giants have placed Aubrey Huff on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday. [The move comes] two days after he left the team because of an episode of anxiety. Huff has been getting treatment in Florida and is expected to rejoin the team Friday in San Francisco, where he will continue to get help. ... Manager Bruce Bochy spoke with Huff on Wednesday afternoon after days of exchanging text messages. Asked if Huff's anxiety was related to personal or baseball problems, Bochy said: "I don't know if he even knows. It could be both. "We are always going to do all we can to help the player," Bochy said. "That's the case with Aubrey." On the field, Huff has been going through a rough stretch that bottomed out in Saturday's 5-4 loss.

Anxiety? Good lord. Maybe he can hang out with Zack Greinke in the offseason.

I heard he was upset at himself for not covering second on a double play ball. The runner on second eventually scored the game winning run.

I heard he took too many viagra and had to see a dr after 4 hours.

Anxiety is nothing to laugh about. The brain is a very sophisticated organ and one little cell goes out of whack and you can be a basket case!
