The most depressing thing in the world is seeing Scott Boras, Satan Jr. himself, crying hysterically at a press conference.
I can't even say I know who the kid is, because summer was going to be my time with MLB TV and every Angel or Dodgers game I could catch. But, to die at age 22 less than 24 hours after you won you're 4th major league game because of a drunk driver is absolutely horrible. And two other people died as well in his car. Horrible. Bruce Beck, my sportscaster whenever Len is off for Jewish holidays/Fridays, got really emotional talking about it because he was saying his son is the same age and it makes you really stop and think. What it really makes me stop and think that people are so fucking stupid that they think that driving while drunk is ... nothing. I may have laughed (and made jokes about Joba's ethnicity) at Joba last year, but, I was also concerned with the thought that that may not have been his first time.

The death of a promising pitcher left the Angels organization in mourning. The team announced that tonight's game with the Oakland Athletics had been postponed.Edit @ 8:43: This week's sexual comings on to Sweets: I believe you have mojo, don't listen to ZZ Top.
[....] Adenhart's Angels jersey, with his name and No. 34 on the back, was draped over the dais at the news conference, where Scott Boras, Adenhart's agent, was overcome by emotion.
"Nick's parents, Jim and Janet, wanted me to convey to the entire Angel organization the privilege and . . ." Then he stopped. The tears came out. His head dropped into his hands. "He's a great kid," Boras said.
