Damn shame. He was from silver spring. Just a few hours after pitching 6 scorless innings (the bullpen gave up 6 though so the anges lost) he gets slammed by some fucking drunk driver running a red light.
I had forgotten he was from Silver Spring. I can't tell you how bummed I am about this.
And just because I hate most baseball writers these days, factually you are correct that the bullpen blew the lead (which I'm sure is what you read), but in reality, the game hinged on Chone Figgins who, with runners on first and third, one out and a 4-0 lead in the eighth, decided to throw home with a slow roller instead of getting the sure out at first. The runner was safe, it left the Angels with a 4-1 lead, runners on first and second and one out. The next batter grounded out, which would have ended the inning and protected a 3 run lead, but instead, Figgins gave the A's 4 outs in the inning and Oakland capitalized on it. It's amazing how much harder it is to get four outs than it is to get three. Sure, Fuentes should have been able to protect a 4-3 lead, but he also should have had some cushion and protected a 4-1 lead. The writers watched the same game I did (they most certainly had better seats, too), but how they consistently miss these types of things will annoy me until I die (or become a baseball writer).

The driver of the vehicle that ran the red that struck Nick's car was drunk, and driving on a suspended license for a previous DUI, according to Fullerton Police.
That will be a murder charge in California.

Yeah it's just what I read on CNN or whatever I didn't see the game and am really only a casual baseball fan at best….but in the writer's defense it wasn't a piece about the game, but about the death of this poor kid.
Anyway, really sad stuff. I fucking hate drunk drivers.
Be safe, kids!

"The minivan's driver fled the scene and was later arrested, Brower said. Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside will face charges of manslaughter, felony driving under the influence and hit-and-run" [source]
I'm not here to argue, but you can believe a Sports Illustrated article written this morning or watch the Press Conference after the article was written where the investigating officer said that the Fullerton Police we working with the DA to seek a murder charge because of the previous history that was not known at the time of the accident or the writing of that article, which would be the fullest extent of the law in CA.
And by the way… the Angels must be the unluckiest franchise ever, and [Rob Neyer] doesn't know of another franchise that's even in the running.
