  Depressing fucking news. Seemed like a legit good guy and was a great player who had the potential to be a legit HoF guy.

  Jose Fernandez was 29-2 pitching at home? Insane
• cat_lover

  Terrible news. He seemed to have a passion for life and the game. I can't help but think back to when Indians pitcher Steve Olin was killed in a boating accident in spring training.

  That was brutally sad. Man
• thavoice

  Read last night that pretty much the whole team knew he was going out on that boat after the game, and a few players were invited and they all turned him down and some even have gone so far as to tell him that he should just stay home.
  
  That has to hurt even worse, if that is possible.+

  Wow, Red Sox blew a lead in the 9th with Kimbrel and then Kelly....Mark Teixeira with a walk off grand slam.
  
  And Red Sox clinched lol. What a horrible way to clinch

  There's nothing I "love" more than watching my already-eliminated team doing their best to keep the fucking shitbirds alive in the race.

  Guys like Scully are the soundtracks of so manhy people's lives. Locally we had Marty and Joe and nationally just so many big events with Vin......Some guys just have that sound and perfect way of calling a game

  REDS SIGNEE - The Cincinnati Reds has purchased the contract of 16 year old 3B/C VICTOR RUIZ from the Mexican League Academy. The 6'2" 195 righty slugger was rated as the top player in the Academy and projects as a solid future MLB player. Yes, Ruiz is a few years away but this is a part of building a strong farm system.

  Sad that it cost him his life...but make awful decisions, this was the consequence of his choices

  Did anyone ever actually think a late night boating accident into the rocks wasn't alcohol related?
