Reports of the latest and a previous VERY painful sounding injuries
from Rotoworld
"Diamondbacks placed catcher Chris Snyder on the disabled list with a left testicular fracture.
That's gotta be even worse than Kaz Matsui's anal fissures. Snyder was injured when he was hit by a foul tip last night."
This is really more than I need to know. What happened to the old fashioned "Groin injury"?
I don't read every post but I assume there may have been a comment in the last two days on Branden Inge going on the DL with an oblique strain suffered when he was in bed trying to put a pillow under the head of his 3 year old son. Well got to be a preferably injury to the two above.
Slow day so thought I would post something for you guys to
think about till game time.

Fracture????
Like it’s broken? Yikes!
This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).
I was gonna say...
...it’s one thing to twist the thing, but fracture it? Oh, man…looks like I can forget about sitting comfortably for the rest of the day.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
I wonder...
If they have to put it in a cast?!

What kind of rehab do you do for that?

Pity the poor catchers
Seems to be an epidemic of this particular injury. There’s a recent fanshot here of Jose Molina’s similar fate. Remarkably, after the fastball hit him straight in the, um, groin he still managed to get up just long enough to get the ball before curling into permanent fetal agony.

Didn't Michael Barrett have an injury like this one?
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
And Carlton Fisk, who did fracture it,
He ruptured it. The ball was hit into his manly bits with such force that is cracked his cup and ruptured his testes.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
I believe Barrett was a contusion...
not positive though. Don’t really think there is any “good” words to follow “testicular”....
Perhaps “pleasure”?
Calm down.
How about
... Parfait. Everyone loves a parfait!
Think of how stupid the average person is, and remember, half of them are stupider than that!

"testicular fortitude" comes to mind...

Barrett's injury was

I coach middle school wrestling...
...and one meet I had a starter come up to me and say he couldn’t wrestle because he had a chest injury.
Being a good teacher/coach I wanted to make sure everything was ok, especially with his chest….
....he showed me a huge bruise on his chest….
“What happened?”
“Johnny gave me a titty-twister* at lunch”
*used for accuracy. Would have substituted “Purple Nurple”
Fukudometer: Created 3/31/08 Wrigley Debut 4/5/08 WGN and Japan TV Debut 4/6/08 Sun Times Debut: 4/20/08
So does that make Snyder...
...a bad ball hitter?

There you go...
All you women out there:
Childbirth
Monthly Cramps
The various things various birth control methods does to your body
DO NOT COMPARE
to a Fractured Testicle
I’d give birth to a Shaq-sized baby before I had a fractured berry.

Nope, engaged
And she doesn’t read this site!

Hold it right there sister....
who forces women to go through “natural childbirth”? That never has to happen…at least in the industrialized world. Childbirth is a natural phenomenon (although a painful one)...getting a gonad crushed is not. There are no fancy “nut crushing suites” in hospitals for men to be admitted into when they’re ready to have their tenders mangled.
My wife has given birth to 3 children…I was there for all three and it looked like it hurt alot, but you know what? She wanted to have more…I’ve never met anyone (although I’m sure there are some out there) who’ve said…”You know…I think I’d like to have my testicles cracked open again!”
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Hate to disappoint
you but women do go through natural childbirth when they have no choice. I know from experience. So to say it never has to happen is wrong. I never said getting a gonad crushed wasn’t painful but until men have experienced childbirth there is no way to compare the pain.
point taken about not having to go through childbirth naturally....my mistake.
my point still stands…a lot of women assert that men’s crotch pain from trauma can’t be as bad as childbirth, yet a lot of women have more than 1 child and love to trade their delivery stories, and men pretty much go out of their way to avoid having their tenders mashed or even discussing it.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

I'll take my chances
You can get drugs for childbirth. There isn’t enough Novacine on the planet to ease the sting of a broken twig and crushed berry
Think of how stupid the average person is, and remember, half of them are stupider than that!
Drugs don't
always work. Since neither of us can ever experience the others pain it’s really a moot point. You can not say they do not compare because you don’t know.
And I'd love to see you...
with a fractured testicle!

Oh sweet mother of all that is good and pure...
He PLAYED AN INNING AFTER IT HAPPENED!!!!!

That should be the name of the injury...

Barrett
Had internall bleeding in his scrotum. No testicles involved but still. . . knocked him out for a while.
a fractured testicle. I feel like walking around with a cup everywhere i go now. I feel vulnerable.

Pat was talking to Ron about an injury last night during the game. Gave the scientific term, basically a strained oblique. Ron said…”is that like the ribs?” “Cause in my day we used to just say, ‘my back hurts’”

Remember you gotta just graze nuts...
can’t imagine fracturing one. Gotta be worse than a hernia.
