Good thing “there is no crying in baseball!” Because this could turn out to be a nightmare before x-mas for that idiot.

It’s not just the kids: it’s women who have the kids. Savvy owners should insist all their players be gay (and promise not to adopt).

Startling your children on Christmas? Did he confuse it with Halloween?

This is sort of the truth but really, Liriano was banging on his own bedroom to scare Santa Claus and Mrs. Liriano. Ho-Ho-Uh-Oh!

That I’ve now confused Francisco Liriano with Fausto Carmona multiple times [briefly] has me worried I’m turning into my father.

I know, I’m a weird fella, but I startled my kid on Christmas with Mt. Presents, a veritable mountain of presents. I left the loud sounds of domestic violence for other, less notable holidays. Like Valentine’s Day. Look out, kid!

Not to mention Joba Chamberlain’s trampoline accident while playing with his kid. I gotta tell ya, these kids are more dangerous to the players than fellow Major Leaguers!

This is definitely up there with Milton Bradley getting injured by Bud Black holding him back during an argument as one of the lamest, most embarrassing injuries ever.

I believe Griffey Jr. Broke his throwing hand while horsing with his son at home. Oh, and he also pinched one of his huevos while putting on his cup.

And that’s why you don’t use a one armed person to scare someone!

At least he didn’t shoot himself or cut his foot with an axe. Professionals are humans they make mistakes and do stupid things. This was a freak accident to say that least. I’m sure their kids were scared by their dad breaking his arm if not by his first attempt. Get better franky

Man, I know alot of these guys coming out of the Latin countries have faked their age, but in this case they should really scrub his birth certificate to make sure he’s not really an 80 year old woman.

How brittle do your bones have to be to break your arm banging on the door? Falling down, sure. I can see that, but banging it on a door frame? Unless its deliberate, I doubt it. If so, give the guy some calcium chews stat!!

My guess is this is similar to Griffey Jr when he said he broke his arm deep sea fishing and we later found out it was from a trampoline accident (or something, can’t recall exactly).
