That's... er... uncomfortable. 

[CaliAngel]

Dude has been nothing but a dramatic headache the second he put on an Angel uniform.

Scioscia will leave the #3 slot blank in tribute to Albert the ponderous...no one can possibly be as productive there as Albert

[laagamer]

Ah, he has been "injured". I was a little worried that he just wasn't good anymore.

 

Looking forward to his career production next year!

Experienced it wednesday, it only bothered him today when he gets thrown out, and doesn't expect it to be a problem for tomorrow.  What a coincidence

If this were a problem, then why did he stay in the game and not be taken out?

Pretty amazing that he popped a croner while running the bases

Lymph glands play a vital role in the body's ability to fight illnesses and can swell up due to exposure to viruses or bacteria. Common areas for swollen lymph glands -- or nodes -- occur in the neck, chin, armpits and groin, and they can go away over time with heat compression.

So they have to put hot pads on his groin? Unlucky job for someone.

Pujols might be confined to a wheelchair by yr5 if this keeps up

Apparently it only bothered him when he was running, he went down to the tunnel and took some swings and everyone was comfortable that it wouldn't create a problem for him swinging the bat.

He'll still be in the starting lineup.

Sounds like something Grandma's complain of..

That's just your testicle, Albert.
