Chris Snyder Broke His Testicle!!!

[meanstreet]

I'm not sure what's going on in baseball this year, but there have been a few injuries that almost boogle the mind. Now Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder will be added to the list of freakish, horrible injuries of the season after he got drilled by a foul ball Monday night off the bat of Brewers player Corey Hart.

And here's the diagnosis: Snyder has a fractured testicle. Man, it hurt just typing that.

By the way, I didn't even know that was possible, since, uh, I didn't think there were any bones there (yes, I realize that sentence is ripe for jokes). But yes, it's possible. From some medical site:

Testicular rupture or fractured testis refers to a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents.

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds absolutely terrible. And it also requires immediate medical attention. Which is probably why Snyder will be on the 15-day DL.

I'm just worried about what the next crazy injury is bound to be. I thought long and hard and I honestly can't think of anything worse than this. Hell, getting hit in the head with bat would be better than what's happened to Pie, Matsui and Snyder. At least you'd be unconscious.

I'm waiting for someone to get jabbed in the eye with a piece of a shattered maple bat.

No, not Thump?

Oh man, mojo and stuff for SgtThump. I hope he can still ride his Harley with a busted nad.

That's a real ball buster of a deal man.

 

[White_Van]

Yes.

I mean no.

I mean damn it.

LOL! I just got home from a full day at Six Flags and saw the title of this thread and was like what the heck? Then I realized it wasn't about me. Okay... Then I saw another thread about something like 'this is why they call him thumper' and that wasn't about me either. What the heck is going on here? Are you guys playing a joke on me or something?

I'm confused. Are you saying you didn't bust a nut?

Oh no he did, Six Flags is a euphemism for the hospital.

You are TOTALLY setting me up for a good comeback, but I'm too tired.

Darn you!

I thought both of those threads were going to be about you as well.

Sorry man, I read that article and couldn't resist!!

Ha ha... At least I'm not alone. Hey, who are you anyway? Have I ever told you I HATE it when people change the usernames they've used for years!?!?!?!?

Holy shit! I hadn't even noticed you had changed your user name! I just kept seeing the signature picture and the avatar picture and hadn't even been reading your name! Good thing you didn't change those at the same time, I'd have been freaking out that there was some random dude that had apparently been here long enough to accumulate 7k posts, and I hadn't even noticed him.

OUCH!!!

 

[Copperhead]

Oh God Chris, be careful when they cut the cast off!

Remember, don't scale any fences into dangerous areas. A fractured nut is better than missing a head.
