Always a shock when a current ballplayer dies. So, another young pitcher, Nick Adenhart, lost his life in an auto accident. Here's how Vin Scully talked about it on the Dodger broadcast, and, you know, he's right:

"If I may speak for every member of the Dodger organization, our heartfelt and deepest sympathies to the mother and family of Nick Adenhart, and to every member in the Angels organization, for the untimely accident and death of young Nick last night at the tender age of twenty-two. Nick, from Maryland, had pitched six scoreless innings and was in a car with three friends, and a driver apparently went through a red light and T-boned the car, killing three of the four, including Nick, and one other member is in critical condition. And if there is one thing I’ve learned in all my years — and I haven’t learned much — but the one thing I’ve learned: Don’t even waste your time trying to figure out life.

Ground ball through for Andre Ethier, and life continues for those who still have it. And with a leadoff single, Russell Martin will be coming up.

But I would say, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a moment and say a prayer in memory for Nick, especially for his parents. What a shock to lose a twenty-two-year-old."

Amen.

Seder for dogs.

My ERA is 81 runs less than Carl Pavano. Rumor has it, he didn't even hit 85 on the gun. Eric Wedge to mention "Grinders" in 5...4...3...2...1.

GM can still advertise in Comerica Park for free. The Tigers owner says, "Why not?".

Hitch vs. Ken Blackwell...Guess Who Wins



Jan leaves "The Office". I love boxing, so I'll have to watch this new show on Fx, "Lights Out". She will star as the (ahem, pediatric, no less) orthopedic surgeon wife of an ex-heavyweight champ.

Miami won its first game at the Frozen Four and meets Boston U. for the national championship of hockey. The boys played a really good defensive game and absolutely smothered Bemidji State. And while on Easter Bunny watch, I'll be viewing.
