PrintBrandon Inge is back on the DL after reaggravating an oblique injury with... a pillow.
"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).
Now, I understand random things happen off the job... you hurt a knee while cleaning your motorcycle... you fall down the stairs with some luggage... or while carrying a dead animal... you get carpal tunnel from playing Guitar Hero... but... a pillow. Brandon Inge is back on the DL because of a pillow.
Are our baseball players not men anymore? Are they... Devo? Discuss.

Well,
if our baseball players were Devo, the batting helmets would be a hell of a lot cooler.
Hell yes!

This, I like.
Now if they could just get some players to change their at-bat music to “Mongoloid” or “Girl U Want” that would be awesome.

At least he didn't get cab arm

Should really be: Baby 1, Inge 0.
AKA "BRO-RAY" according to drunk Graham...
Yes...
I believe on the DBJ Scale, which is a measure of what it takes for something to crush something and 1 is the baseline equal to the amount of force required to crush a baby’s body, a pillow comes in at something in the ballpark of .17 DBJs.

You've gotta admit, the guy's got guts to admit that.
I think everyone has a story about how they injured themselves doing something stupidly normal.

My story...
...would be about the time I threw my back out when I sneezed. I was out of commission for a week.

I think people who let their kids sleep with them
are raising sociopaths. Nothing good will come of this, mark my words.

Now you tell me!

You don't have kids.
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
I once pulled an oblique muscle while sleeping.
It’s weird, but it happens.

I've hurt my leg stretching out in bed in the morning
but it usually resulted in a mild cramp that went away.

I woke up one morning
and turned my head to look at my clock and my neck went off like a cannon and ended up with whiplash. So this doesn’t really surprise me.

I once woke up and thought I was deaf
then I remembered I had been at a show the night before and forgotten to take out my earplugs.
(This is actually true.)

When I worked the graveyard shift
I’d wake up at 5:00 and freak out in the twilight, because I had no idea if it was 5 am (meaning I was late to work) or 5 pm (which is OK).
I've done that virtually twice a week
for the last two weeks.

this is the Jose Saramago version of blindness.

Seems unlikely, but you never know.

I read it as one of those things where the kid comes in scared and asks to sleep in the same bed.
And I think that would be pretty normal once in a while for a 3 year old.
As a parent of a 3 year old boy, I can tell you this is very normal (for my son).
It happens more than once a week. They also crawl into your bed and don’t wake you up so you have a nice surprise when the alarm goes off in the morning.
