Just an awful story out of Los Angeles this morning.  Nick Adenhart, a young pitcher for the Angels was killed in a car accident early this morning.  Here is a piece that Rich Lederer wrote about Adenhart.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the Angels organization.

I don't even know what to say err, type. What a terrible thing, for his family, his friends, and the Angels. My condolences and prayers to them all.

I was just telling a co-worker about this. I'm in Pittsburgh and today is the funeral for the officers killed here last weekend. Just so much tragedy lately. So much sadness. This news was more shock to the system.

I know, talk about putting things in perspective. Damn.

Horrible tragedy. I'm glad they caught the person responsible.

I was reading someone mentioning how on top of everything else, "the life of the minivan driver is now over too"

I could give a fucking shit. Three people, including one that is 22 years old, are now dead because of this dick. If there is any justice he'll never see sunlight again.

This whole thing is absolutely shocking. One thing that's starting to piss me off is that I'm watching the YES pre-game, and they're only now mentioning it, twenty-one minutes into the show. I understand that this is a YANKEE pre-game show, but somehow I think Adenhart should've been the lead story, not the lineups and analysis of yesterday's game. I'm not sure whose choice it was, but it strikes me as cold and insensitive.

I thought MLB network running the 36th replay of MLB Tonight was worse.

I was reading some of the articles relating to this; I didn't know that there was so much relatively recent tragedy involving Angels players. Life is so fucking random.

[9] There has been the Moore & Bostock incidents as well, though Moore's death/suicide came after his time with the Angels.
