Pie to Let Surgeon Operate on Junk
Published 3/10/2008 by Dave at OUT OF RIGHT FIELD
Felix Pie will miss 3-5 days according to Cubs.com to correct soreness in his testicle. The Cubs announced Monday that outfielder Felix Pie will undergo a procedure to correct testicular torsion and will be sidelined three to five days. Pie has been bothered by this all spring, and the Cubs had hoped to delay the outpatient surgery so they could use the off-day on March 17 as one of the days to heal. However, Pie, 23, reported to the Cubs' facility on Monday with considerable soreness. If not corrected, he could risk losing the testicle. I was hopeful that Sam Fuld ...

Pie to Have Testicular Surgery

Just a day after it looked like Felix Pie had the center field job locked up for the Cubs, he's about to undergo testicular surgery. Yeah, that doesn't sound comfortable to me either. Pie has been dealing with 'testicular torsion' this Spring, which probably hurts just as bad as it sounds, and if he doesn't deal with this now.....he could lose the testicle. I think we all agree that he's making the right decision at this point. Even though Pie has been dealing with this injury, he has hit at a .321 clip this Spring and looks to break camp as the starter in center field for the Cubs. Pie will be out three to five days and Sam Fuld, who was Pie's main competition at the ...

Just a day after it looked like Felix Pie had the center field job locked up for the Cubs, he's about to undergo testicular surgery. Yeah, that doesn't sound comfortable to me either. Pie has been dealing with 'testicular torsion' this Spring, which probably hurts just as bad as it sounds, and if he doesn't deal with this now.....he could lose the testicle. In testicular torsion the spermatic cord that provides the blood supply to a testicle is twisted, cutting off the blood supply, often causing orchalgia. Prolonged testicular torsion will result in the death of the testicle and surrounding ...
