Any other Angels ?

Donnie Moore committed suicide shortly after his stint with the Angels. He was never the same after giving up the famous home run to Dave Henderson that propelled the Red Sox to the World Series in 86

Anyways, never heard of this kid, but it is very sad news.

Has it really been 10 years since Nick Adenhart?

Reading the news about this reminded me of that Cardinals pitcher that had a heart attack and died in his hotel room during an away game.

Darryl Kile?

Darryl Kile?

Yes. I couldn't remember his name

 

[BrockForBroglio]

He pitched in STL a week ago during the Pujols slobber fest.

RIP, too young.

good point, but that would be possibly more likely if it happened overnight.

Sounds like it was early afternoon, 1pm or 2pm area, midday., when he passed.
If the reports are correct,

Suicides usually occur overnight, with drugs, etc
like Chris Cornell, ....

Suicide not completely ruled out but also not suspected. Source - ESPN

Holy fuck.

My condolences and prayers to his family and friends and to the Angels Organization. They have always been an upstanding baseball club and it is a sad situation.

Hard to imagine 3 guys in their professional athletic prime all dying within a few years of each other and even harder when they were all at the same position of the same sport. Don't know if that's ever happened before in any sport.

Thoughts and prayers to the Skaggs family.

With the news today, I did some googling.

When Darryl Kile died in 2002, that was the first time a player had died during the regular season since 1979. Now you've got Kile, Fernandez, Skaggs, and Adenhart all passing away during the season since 2002. Crazy

Yeah, he was.

Trolling is more fun when you lie

dolphin jim posted his phone number and dared us to tell him that to his face. So one of us called him

Then we went to his business blog and fucked it up pretty good.
