Brandon Inge on DL- Hurt lifting a pillow

Brandon Inge angles for a lucrative pillow endorsement

By 'Duk

We've heard about players getting hurt while sneezing, while sleepwalking through a nightmare about spiders and after kicking an iron bar stool.

But we had never heard of a pillow-lifting injury in baseball — that is, until Detroit Tigers' everyman Brandon Inge reported an overstuffed owie on Wednesday, earning a feather-paved (and probably overdue) path to the injury list.

The details, from the Free Press:

"It was the stupidest, most freakish thing," Inge said Wednesday, explaining why he had just been placed on the 15-day DL with the pulled side muscle (oblique) he suffered 3 1/2 weeks ago.

"I have a 3-year-old son who sleeps in the bed with my wife and me," Inge said. "I was trying to push the pillow down behind his head (two nights ago), and when I did ... I repopped (the strained muscle).

"You take swings in baseball, and it's not as bad as pushing a pillow down."

Upon hearing this story, manager Jim Leyland said, "That's a first."

this is just more proof of how spoiled all pro athletes are these days.
they get treated like little girls - if you stub a toe - ur out for 2 weeks -
at the start of each season they should all get a care package - tampons

I couldn't agree more, frito. Do you remember the stories/images of Bear Bryant finishing a football game with a broken leg, or McNabb puking on the sideline then putting his helmet back on to finish the game, or Alan Faneca with a gauze wrapped around his head and blood coming through the gauze but he just puts his helmet back on to play the next set of downs.

Why do athletes want to act like such pussies nowadays?

When Ronnie Lott broke his finger during a game he cut off the tip of his broken finger rather than sit out the rest of the game.
