ST. LOUIS -- Chicago Cubs shortstop Nomar Garciaparra will be sidelined at least two to three months because of a torn left groin.

Garciaparra was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, one day after he got hurt while leaving the batter's box during a game against St. Louis. Cubs trainer Mark O'Neal said the muscle pulled away from the bone.

The Cubs, doctors and Garciaparra will decide in the next 10 days whether an operation is needed.

2. And so it begins.
I wonder what we could get in a trade if we packaged Nomar and Kerry Wood together.

6. yo! Garciaparra!
"Nomar" humping for 2 - 3 months.

Groin injuries are the worst. The third baseman on my softball team (we're all really old farts who play in a "young studs" league just for the pure masochistic joy of it) had a bad groin pull that lingered for about three years!

Notice how I avoided the sophomoric jokes about one pulling one's groin.

Bummer for the Cubbies.

13. I had one my senior year in football
Hard and slow to heal and it is VERY VERY VERY important to pay close attention when applying the "Tiger Balm"(BenGay on steroids) VERY important. :evilfrown: :mad: :nuke:

15. Ah yes
In my serious ballplaying days, it was "Atomic Balm"

I little Atomic Balm in the business area of the jockstrap made for an entertaining practical joke . . .

19. I made a mistake
the jar that our school had (all THREE years I played) was called Atomic Bomb not Tiger Balm->that is the newer stuff.

Man was that stuff ever hot.

7. In my mind, there is no such thing as
a "not so serious" groin pull.
