If Felix Pie’s injury didn’t sufficiently gross you out, then perhaps this tale of Kaz Matsui of the Rockies Astros (the new Mr. October!) and his anal fissures will. If you’re wondering how the mainstream media covered this, here’s all the Houston Chronicle had: “Astros second baseman Kaz Matsui is expected to miss four or five days after being diagnosed with a condition known as anal fissure. Matsui, who returned to central Florida on Monday night, will go through individual workouts at the team facility but will not play until at least Friday. Doctors have prescribed a different medication to help alleviate the problem.”

When you read that, what’s the first thing you do? Google anal fissure? Or are anal fissures so common that everyone already knows what they are? Whatever you do, if you feel compelled to google hemorrhoids, be careful and don’t accidentally hit the IMAGES button. Vomiting will ensue.
