Nomar Garciaparra paralyzed by pain!

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nomar Garciaparra will be out of commission for several months due to the tearing of his left groin. Ouch!!

Garciaparra was paralyzed with pain after grounding into a double play when the muscle pulled away from the bone causing him to collapse in front of the batter's box.

If Garciaparra gets surgery the procedure should be done fairly soon so the muscle heals properly.

This is the latest injury in a series of setbacks for Garciaparra ever since he won AL batting titles in 1999 and 2000 with the Boston Red Sox.He was limited to 83 at-bats in 2001 after wrist surgery and he missed more than two months last year with Achilles' tendonitis. The best luck this guy’s had was marrying Mia Hamm.
