Where do sneezes go when they don't come out?

Bless you- stifled sneeze has Latos headed to DL

While walking down some steps at Coors Field in Denver last Friday, Mat Latos stifled a sneeze.

That aborted sneeze led to pain in Latos’ side that landed the 22-year-old pitcher on the 15-day disabled list Thursday.

How convenient, since the Padres wanted to push back Latos’ next start. Because his time on the disabled list officially started last Friday, Latos will be eligible to pitch July 24 in Pittsburgh.


I cannot stand it when I have my head cocked back with my arms stretched out to ensure that I have a safe perimeter to unload a sneeze into and it vanishes on its own, presumably to be released at a later date. But Latos, this Padres pitcher, did the inconceivable, he "aborted" (well written Staff Writer Bill) a sneeze. People are making fun of this for him getting injured holding back a sneeze, but that's what happens when your mind tries to fight your body... your body punishes you.

Body says sneeze, I say "how high", you can't get into fights against your body because your body always wins... try to hold in a poop?, BAM hernia... try to hold back pee?, BAM AIDS... Latos isn't an idiot for the fact that he injured himself holding back a sneeze, he is an idiot for trying to hold back a sneeze.
