In other injury news, I lost Willie Parker on Madden ‘09 for at least 4 weeks with a rib injury. We’ll have Herm Schneider look at him now. 37 minutes ago

It is time time to hibernate until 2009

Quentin is seriously a jagoff for breaking his wrist by slamming a bat down. If it was a HBP that is one thing…but for god sake…..putting a serious dent in our armor in a pennant race because you are stupid enough to follow in Troy Tulowitzki’s footsteps is ridiculous. Thanks a lot you douche bag

friday afternoon. big white sox story. quietly reshuffles the organization.

A History of Weird Baseball Injuries (stolen shamelessly from bleacherreport.com):

Jose Cardenal missed a game in 1972 because he was kept awake all night by crickets chirping in his hotel room. He also missed a game in 1974 because he claims to have slept wrong and his eyelid was stuck shut!

John Smoltz burned himself while ironing a shirt…which he was still wearing (this one is an urban legend that has neither been confirmed nor denied).

Ricky Henderson missed several games in 1985 because of frostbite. In August.

Glenallen Hill fell through a glass coffee table and crawled through the broken glass while having a dream that he was being devoured by spiders.

Kyle Farnsworth missed time during the 2004 season after kicking an oscillating fan in the clubhouse.

Adam Eaton stabbed himself in the stomach while cutting the shrinkwrap off a DVD.

Felix Pie missed time during spring training in 2008 with a twisted testicle. Eeeesh.

Speaking of testicles, Chris Snyder was on the DL earlier this season with a fractured testicle.

One more for the testicle crowd: Ken Griffey Jr. missed a game after pinching his right testicle between his leg and his protective cup.

Marty Cordova fell asleep in a tanning bed and burned his face so badly he couldn’t play.

Clarence Blethen thought he looked more menacing on the mound without his false teeth in. So he put them in the back pocket of his uniform pants. He was then forced to miss time when he slid into second base and got bitten in the butt with his own teeth!

Terry Harper dislocated his shoulder while waving a runner home on a passed ball.

Steve Sparks suffered the same injury while trying to tear a phone book in half.

Finally, Denny McClain, who won 30 games in a season for the Tigers, claimed to have gone to bed in perfect health, then woken up with four dislocated toes.

And no amount of blow jobs, or cheetohs, or other good things will make me feel any better.

that torn cape picture is perfect.
