I am sensing an update of Funk and Wagner's.

Someone get that man a donut!

So is it "Donut" Matsui or "Preparation H" Matsui for the rest of the season?

What bothers me about this story is that, orginally, the symptoms lead to a diagnosis of hemorrhoids.  Matsui has had this problem in the past.  However, on further review, it turned out to be something elseWhat?! I can't think how those symptoms could lead to a diagnosis of anything better.

I'm would give it much thought but there are degrees of hemorrhoid irritation. From ass itch on to things I don't want to imagine.

PRI is on that short list with the Holocaust and Abraham Lincoln's assassination of things that just should never be joked about.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

"Save your breath fella! Here’s a new jam we’ve just put out. It’s called Painful Rectal Itch. You’d have to go a long way to find a worse name for a jam. And good? MMM WAH! With a name like Painful Rectal Itch you gotta bet that it’s great . . .

Early evidence that Chevy Chase and "funny" were in a short-term relationship.

Sure sounds like 'roids.  Maybe they said it was something else so he wouldn't be the butt of any jokes?
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

Another non-funny injury:

Quote
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.

Another non-funny injury:

There are times when I wish we could just go back to the day when they just said stuff like, Pie is out for a couple of days with an undisclosed injury.  Today, only are the specific, but in some cases, they even tell you what that means... I mean, there are somethings I don't want to THINK about, you know?
