Felix Pie Is In A Bind

When I woke up on Sunday morning, I did the same thing I always do when I wake up: I scratched myself and got up to use the washroom. I was barefoot, and as I got to the washroom door I stubbed my left pinkie toe on the door frame.

It hurt like fucking hell.

The poor little guy was red and swollen all day, it was still sore up until a few minutes ago. Then Silvio called me to tell me there was a story on the Cubs official site I had to read. The emphasis is mine.

The Cubs have had a variety of injuries this spring. So far, infielder Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat, pitcher Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt, and outfielder Felix Pie missed a couple of days early because of a twisted testicle. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez remains sidelined with a sore right shoulder.

All of a sudden, my toe doesn't hurt anymore. My balls do, but the toe is fine.
