April 26, 200620 yr Bothered by a bruised left groin, Astros lefthander Wandy Rodriguez expects to go without a protective cup tonight when he starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his quest to remain undefeated this season. Rodriguez has been plagued by a tender left groin in his last two outings. He attributes the bruising in the area to his cup digging into his left side. Rodriguez (3-0, 2.52 ERA) says he has made some improvement through stretching exercises under the guidance of Astros athletic trainers Dave Labossiere and Rex Jones. "I'm fine," he said. "I'm ready to start. They were stretching the muscle, and I feel fine. I possibly won't use the cup so I can see if it will help me get better. I'm not worried about not using a cup because I have real good hands." http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/3820301.html
April 26, 200620 yr I'm not worried about not using a cup because I have real good hands. :lol :lol :lol Sexy.
April 26, 200620 yr Why are they announcing this to the world? :blink: Why does a 'cup' still get you squeamish?
April 28, 200620 yr Free swinging D.Lee often didn't wear one. Am I the only one who noticed that? Years ago I was at a spring training game between the Marlins and the Mets sitting near 1st base. When Piazza made it to 1st I turned to my friend and said "he's wearing a different cup." She laughed at me. About 2 weeks later the NY Post reported that Mike Piazza was using a new cup that was more comfortable for him. I never lose sight of the game. Women are just really good multi-taskers!
April 28, 200620 yr Am I the only one who noticed that? Interesting that you notice that part of a guys body :mischief2 . Do you have something to tell us?

April 28, 200620 yr this is not smart. not having a cup has to got to give you a nagging fear on the mound, which could result in some reflexive problems with mechanics. plus (i assume) he's always thrown with a cup so changing something like this could also throw your mechanics off just enough to make a difference at a major-league level. bad idea wandy.
April 30, 200620 yr It's his funeral. Just no blaming anyone else when he gets a line drive to the balls.
April 30, 200620 yr Women are just really good multi-taskers! Good thing you cleared up the fact you're a woman
