Baseball Players Have No Marbles...


The latest story of injury out of the MLB is that pitcher Kyle Farnsworth is out for a while after his dog bit him, with the bite reportedly "going deep enough to hit a tendon but not tear it." (Insert your own going deep and not tearing joke here).

Seriously, your dog bit you? YOUR dog? Just one look at sports sites shows that the MLB is clearly full of porcelain babies, hurting themselves in a variety of ways that would make pre-Anne Sullivan Hellen Keller laugh.

-Running into a wall
- Stiff neck
- Slipping on the kitchen floor
- Turning a lamp switch on too hard

You never hear about these kind of things in other sports. Hell, Tiger Woods walked 91 holes with a torn ACL and nary said a word. But a baseball player has too much pulp in his orange juice and its out for 15 days. I haven't seen this many grown men cry since NAMBLA found out the Suite Life was cancelled.
