| Center Treatment Helps Relieve Acid Reflux
Ervin Monroe's heartburn was so bad at times that he thought he might be having a heart attack. Every day, acid from his stomach seeped up into his esophagus and even into his mouth. "My acid reflux got so bad that I couldn't drink sodas, because they would burn my tongue, and I could hardly even drink water," says Monroe, who lives in Lillington. Monroe is a longtime member of the Mighty Sons of Faith gospel group, but his voice wasn't sounding so mighty because of the acid that irritated his throat.

Gary Long, a 52 year old, once nearly 400 lb obese man from Fenton, Missouri, has done just that. On 12/25/05, Christmas day, he woke up and exclaimed to his wife Cheryl, "I am tired of being obese and as of today I plan to start doing something about it." Gary had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, diabetes, enlarged heart, hight blood pressure and acid reflux disease. His health and energy levels werre at near critical stages as demonstrated by his inability to walk or stand for very long without getting short of breath and exhausted. On that Christmas morning, he doned a small back pack and started walking. He first walked around his neighborhood and within days he was walking up to a mile. Within a few weeks he was walking along a 10 mile stretch in his town. After 6 weeks he was able to walk the 10 miles daily and noticed he had lost nearly 20 lbs.
Meet 2007's closers and closers in waiting
For the most part in fantasy baseball, when we talk about relief pitchers we're referring to closers. If you're in an 8-12 team league, closers usually comprise most of your relief pitching because they are the only ones who can get you saves on a regular basis. But in some leagues, middle relief guys can add some value, especially in head-to-head leagues where holds is a category or in Rotisserie leagues. Another way to add value to your pitching staff is to utilize relievers, often middle relievers, to maximize your ratios (ERA and WHIP), while adding solid strikeout numbers, not to mention adding the odd win. In some situations like the Twins, Yankees, Mets and Angels, the pitcher currently closing is pretty much locked into that position. Barring a catastrophicinjury or a Derrick Turnbow-like implosion, the setup man in "waiting" carries very little value.
