Gnarly Baseball Injuries Come in Threes: Arizona’s Chris Snyder Fractures a Testicle
Baseball, Fantasy Sports July 2nd. 2008, 8:50am
Just like deaths. Kaz Matsui’s anal fissures, Felix Pie’s testicular surgery, and … Chris Snyder’s testicular fracture. Did you just grimace? We did.
On a side note, Eric Byrnes of the D-Bags went on the DL again yesterday. Our fantasy team, which was in first place after a month when almost everyone was healthy, has seen the following players spend time on the DL: Jake Peavy, Shaun Marcum, Rafael Soriano, Chris Young, Shane Victorino, Paul Konerko, Josh Willingham and Byrnes. We are now mired in last.
Yes, discussing your fantasy team is strictly verboten in the blogging world, but sorry folks, we had to vent.
D-Backs put Snyder, Byrnes on DL (AZ Central)

Good job, TBL – you’re catching on.

God bless poor Chris Snyder. I was listening to The Rude Awakening (Atlanta) on my way into work today. The guy they were interviewing about this said it was “nothing serious.” How the hell is a FRACTURED TESTICLE not serious?!

What the hell is a fractured testicle? Maybe I have defective genes, but my nuts aren’t made of bone. Is the article implying that his testicle exploded? Yikes.

Via emedicine.com:
The tunica albuginea is the layer that is violated during a testicular rupture. Approximately 50 kg of force is required to rupture the testicle. A tear in the tunica albuginea leads to extrusion of the seminiferous tubules and allows an intratesticular hemorrhage to escape into the tunica vaginalis. This is referred to as a hematocele. Disruption of the tunica vaginalis or extension to the epididymis leads to bleeding into the scrotal wall, resulting in a scrotal hematoma.

@Gimmeabeerman – I was listening to the Rude Awakening too…it was Dave O’Brien, the Braves beat writer. He was actually talking about his own dr’s appointment when he said “nothing serious.” A fractured testicle is definitely serious.
This is giving me a stomach ache.

Hef’s rubbing him back to health.

I don’t want to live in a world where fractured testicles are ‘nothing serious.’

Whew. I knew O’Brien wasn’t that much of an idiot. I was on 75/85. That’s my excuse.

Hey, some of us (me) make our living doing that. I got no beef with you.
