ESPN failed to cover the Nick Adenhart story during the day. They were too busy having it off with Tiger Woods to care. Fucking a-holes.

Actually, no. Whenever I woke up around 1130AM (hey, its my day off, gimme a break  ;D) I put on First Take and it was breaking news at that point and they had like a 5 minute conversation with the girl who was reporting the story for them. The Angels organization had said nothing at that point.

I had Sportscenter on a little later and it was always in their lead for the Breaking News segments each hour. I actually saw a clip that I guess was the Angels official public announcement thing, and his agent was Scott Boras, and he IMO sincerely looked in despair. At one point he talked about how Adenhart told his parents to come to LA for the game because he thought something special was going to happen. They ended up coming. As a parent, I couldnt even imagine seeing my son throw 6 shutout innings in basically his first Major League start, only to find out a few hours later he died in an accident. Almost unbelievable.

How about Nick Swisher being NYY best pitcher yesterday going 1 IP with a K and no runs given up  ;D

I wonder if you get credit for that in fantasy baseball

Same here.  I loved his contributions to NFL Films, so it's not just Philly's loss.

Weird how these things come in 3's. Nick Adenhart, Harry Kalas, and then Mark Fidrych. Never heard of him before but apparently he was the hottest thing going during his rookie year in 1976, posting 19 wins, lead the MLB with a 2.34 ERA, AL leader with 24 complete games, a 1.079 WHIP, and 4 shutouts and was 2nd in Cy Young Award. The following year though, he tore cartilage in his knee but once he came back he only pitched 10 more games before his career was over. It wasnt until 1985 that he found out he had a torn rotator cuff and that was why he couldnt throw like he used to.

Crazy.

More on the Bird

I am a huge Detroit Tigers fan so the passing of "The Bird" was truly a sad day for the city of Detroit and the baseball family.
