Video: Diamondbacks Catcher Chris Snyder Fractures Left Testicle Although the injury report just says that Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder is on the 15-day DL with a groin injury, the team revealed that he suffered a "left testicular fracture" Monday when hit by a foul ball. "Suspended in the scrotum, a skin pouch below the penis, each testicle is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a tough, fibrous covering that often takes the hit of trauma to the gland," according to UrologyHealth.Org. "Like the shell of an egg, it can be easily 'fractured' or shattered when confronted by a blunt or violent force." See the video.

An Instant Classic - Single link YouTube post. "Unbelievable. I knew he'd hole it."

The shot itself wasn't so much amazing as the overall U.S. Open Performance was amazing. In fact, I would argue that Tiger's story this week, as interesting as it was, should be overshadowed by Rocco Mediate's amazing week. In a million years, I never thought I would see a Woods v Mediate playoff.
Not Tiger's best tournament ever, but probably Rocco's. I love me some Tiger Woods, but I've got to be rooting for Rocco tomorrow.

Rocco is my new sports hero:
"Oh, my God, that was ridiculous," Mediate said. "Yeah, I've never had more fun. I've never ... it's just amazing. He's hard to beat. I threw everything I had, the kitchen sink, everything, right at him...."Good for you, Rocco. I'll be watching for your name in future tournaments and hope to see you on the leaderboard!
...
"It's like a prize fight," Mediate said. "No one even expected me to be (here) that long or survive and he had to birdie the last again to tie me. Again. And he did it. It's amazing."
Woods insisted he isn't one of those who only now can appreciate Mediate's grit.
"I already knew that about Rocco. He's not only one of the nicest guys, but people don't realize how much of a competitor he is," Woods said.
They should now.
"He reminds me a lot of Trevino how he plays: just talking and enjoying it and smiling and having a great time with it," Woods said. "But when it comes down to it, when it's time to hit the shot, he goes into his own little world. People don't realize that. After he does hit the shot he comes out and goes, 'Blah, blah, blah, having a good time.' But right before each shot he gets into his own little zone.
"And it's pretty cool to see."
Aside from his $810,000 consolation, Mediate is left with the knowledge that he made the limping Woods work 19 extra holes to win his 14th major.
"It was an honour being out there," Mediate said. "And I'm sure I scared him. I did good today."

I'm with grum on this one. The middle of the season in no time for a major rule change.

An Instant Classic "A rivalry between the league's two most storied franchises -- with some of the game's biggest names and biggest moments -- now has its biggest rally. No team had ever overcome more than a 15-point deficit after the first quarter, and Elias Sports Bureau said it was the biggest comeback in the finals since 1971. One thing's for sure, it will forever be remembered in the annals of Celtics-Lakers lore."

Heh. I just came over here to post this same story. Regardless of the outcome of the series, this was an amazing night for Boston sports.
posted at 3:50 AM CDT on June 13
IMO, this series is all but over but all I can really say about last is: what a great game!!
You can't count a team like the Lakers out until the end, but if the Celtics can bring on Sunday what they brought tonight, Jackson and crew are going to have a hell of a time beating them.

Can someone please tell what Boston has done to earn all this amazing sports karma?
To balance out our continuing disappointment regarding Dukakis and Kerry?

Newbie with great seats observes the game. Curt Schilling gets great court-side seats and shares his observations as a sports star, but basketball novice (after some comments about the Red Sox).

Ken Griffey, Jr joins the 600 Home Run Club.
Its been a long time coming for the 38 year old and has, perhaps, not been receiving the coverage it deserves.

That Onion article is priceless. I couldn't agree more. He's a couple years younger than me and I've idolized him for many, many years now.
posted at 4:38 AM CDT on June 10
There are six players that have hit at least 600 home runs.
Griffey is one of them even with several seasons destroyed by injuries.
I think that's pretty damn impressive.

Why sports documentaries are no longer one-dimensional fan-fests. A new breed of sports documentaries are receiving critical acclaim. Following in the footsteps of Hoop Dreams are films like Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait and now, Tyson.

The "Tyson" article was something of a revelation to me. It made me really hope he can get his life back on track for the long term.

Sports Broadcasting Legend Jim McKay Dies Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport. . McKay, longtime host of ABC Wide World of Sports, RIP.

Wow, I had no idea he was in his 80's. He has always seemed youthful and vibrant. As far as sportscasters go, Mr. McKay never annoyed me - and that is high praise in this field. The olympics won't seem the same without him.
Rest well, Mr. McKay.

Absolutely tragic. Best wishes to his family, friends and fans.

Yeah, this is pretty much the worst thing I've read all day. Poor guy. There is a vas defrens between this and other sports related injuries.
