REALLY?! Let a 30 year old man die if he doesn’t have health insurance? I don’t think I want to join this tea party…

"1. Why major league baseball players seem to incur such ridiculous injuries. I was reminded of this a couple of days ago when San Francisco Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt was lost for the season after cutting his right hand separating frozen burger patties with a knife. That joins a long list of absurd ailments that includes Wade Boggs’ strained back (sustained while taking off cowboy boots), Glenallen Hill’s foot, knee and elbow lacerations (fell down stairs after being awakened by scary dream about spiders), Chris Coghlan’s torn meniscus (landed awkwardly while throwing shaving-cream pie in face of Marlins teammate), Adam Eaton’s stomach wound (stabbed himself while attempting to open DVD package with paring knife), Joel Zumaya’s strained forearm (from playing too much Guitar Hero), Bob Stanley’s nerve-damaged pitching hand (fell down stairs while taking out garbage), Sammy Sosa’s back strain (from sneezing) and Brett Barbarie’s visual impairment (got chili-pepper juice on hands while making nachos, put contact lenses in, removed and threw away lenses while screaming in agony). Meanwhile, the Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson played Sunday with a torn biceps tendon. Gee, which sport’s athletes do I respect more?"
