Why doesn’t this ever happen to Justin Upton?
I suppose moth balls could plug up an ear.
That was an act of cruelty on the part of Holliday! the moth was just looking for a warm home. Remember what happened to that pitcher that beaned that bird? Whew! Look out for the PETA nuts to go (more) crazy.
Actually Carpenter didn’t leave the game due to the moth. The moth was removed in the 8th inning. He faced one batter in the 9th and when he hit the batter he was removed for a reliever.
They reported this this morning and went into some detail. They first got a lamp and tried to lure it out that way; ended up pulling it out with an ‘implement’ lol. I see they used tweezers. and..it was still alive.
Reminds me of a Twilight Zone I saw (I think it was TZ) anyway this man was captured by an enemy and they tortured him by inserting a worm in his ear telling him that no human being had ever lived after because the worm ‘eats’ its way through the brain and exits out the other ear. IIRC they told him if he lived they would release him. Long story short: through days of the torture of this worm eating through..it exited and the guy was still alive. Of course he celebrated! But he kept getting headaches and went to the doctor and he told him that the good news was that yes indeed he was the first human to live through that experience. The bad news? It was a female and she layed eggs. :O
My grandmother got a moth in ear, she said it was pretty excruciating, like galloping horses right on your ear drum.

So did a PETA representative make a visit to ensure the safety of the moth?
Wouldn’t have happened in Denver Matt.
This happened to me a few years back.
It drove me nuts. It was alive and fluttering. Itchy and ticklish at the same time. I was banging my head on the wall, yelling and even tried the vacuum cleaner. No help.
I was panicking because my brain is 90% army surplus wool and I think he was eating it. I was afraid if he kept eating, I’d end up voting Democrat.
Anyway, my wife quickly Asked Jeeves and the fix was baby oil.
Lay on your side, put in some oil, and it will die and float into reach. Immediately, in my case.
I think we killed it in time, I have not voted Left or anything. However, I caught myself coveting a few times since then... so, we’re keeping an eye on it. If that feeling develops into an economic policy... I’m committing myself.
When asked for a comment on the moth, Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa set down his bottle of Everclear on the desk in front of him and accused the Milwaukee Brewers of making the scoreboard lighting at Busch Stadium brighter and causing the insect invasion.
I just hate it when this happens. It bugs the hell out of me!
I wish she were still alive so that I could finally prove my point.
