oh no……
deepest sympathy to Nicks family AND to the other two occupants who were killed but not named; to their families, deepest sympathy for their loss.

Just makes you sick to hear this
Nick was going to be something. He was a real talent. My sympathy to his family and teammates.
Go DBacks!
On a slightly interesting note,
the targeted Google ad (square-shaped, above the FanPosts) on this screen is advertising “Replacement Seat Belts”.

From one extreme to the other.. From Halo's Heaven:
Tragic
Take care to cherish each moment, watching Nick pitch last night as a fan I was so excited for him and his future as an Angel. So quickly that turns to disbelief and sadness for a talent lost, but more tragically, a life cut short. He will be missed by us fans for what he could have brought to this team, but he will be mourned by those who loved him. Condolences to his family and friends.

I read about that on mlb.com
it’s pretty sad
"I always think one step ahead, like a carpenter....the builds stairs"
He was 22
Too young, he was just starting everything.
"Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone."
Another article focusing on his pitching.
Nick went six scoreless innings against the As yestersay and was in line for the win until the bullpen gave up the lead.
It’s a tragedy, his death and the others who were with him in the car.
If complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'.
It's being reported
that the person who ran the red light, smashed into Nick’s car, then fled was drunk.
If that is true, I hope the bastard rots in hell.

Unfortunately, due to the large number
of drunk drivers, there will be plenty of people to keep this a**hole drunk driver company in Hell after he spends hopefully the rest of his life in prison for killing 3 people. How could a person even live with themself after doing something like that.
My sympathies go out to the Angel organization, but most especially to Nick’s family. They have lost their child.
God, I hate stories like this.
It’s just not fair. Doesn’t matter if it’s a professional athlete or a young parent with kids.
Came across this pic on Yahoo

I was gonna say....
“that guy on the right looks like Mark Reynolds”….

I hope
you don’t mind that I reposted that picture at Halos Heaven?

Not at all
The Yahoo blog had it up first, I just brought it over here because of the connection to Reynolds.

A Sad Day
My heart slumped when I read about this.
My heart goes out to all those affected by this tragedy.

just reported that the 4th individual from the car has now passed away as well.

That's so sad
Last I heard he was moving, not too critical…
Wow. This is so sad. I hope the perp rots for the rest of his life for killing 4 while drunk and driving on a suspended license.
Charged with
DUI, Felony DUI, Fleeing the scene of an accident, Vehicular manslaughter, and they may bring murder charges, as well.

Just saw they are going...
….full-fledged 2nd degree murder.

It won't ever be stated by anyone else....
….but this Gallo kid sure has made a lot of mistakes since 2006 for a 22yr old. His life is over too. As well it should be.
Ya know it kinda makes me think of the mistakes I made when I was Gallo’s age. It totally could have been me. I sure am glad I grew up and never hurt anyone but myself.

I heard that his previous plea
on DUI stated that if he was drinking and driving again, and got into an accident that caused the death of anyone else, he could be charged with murder which is exactly what they are doing and it is more than the right call.

That's what they do
in California, apparently. They do have a 3 strikes law, after all.

According to ESPN...
…he’s not dead yet. Still critical.
DbacksSkins – I ripped off the Reynolds/Adenhart pic as my avatar for this season. Hope you don’t mind.

Heh....
Char found it, not me. I just posted it at Halos Heaven. (And later an A’s fan posted it as well)
Out of sympathy, I’m changing my avatar too — but not for the whole season. For a week, while the flags fly at half staff.
Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.
And yeah,
I saw that the 4th individual hadn’t passed away yet. My earlier report was based on faulty information.
By the way, that avatar is much more becoming than your previous Scum Devil pic. ;-)

Well, you can't exactly trust the WWL either
Otherwise, Tim Floyd is the Wildcats coach.

I've just done the same

Halos Heaven
now reporting that tonight’s Angels game’s been canceled. Understandable….

A's and Angels play a lot this year
Plenty of chances to make it up… was glad to hear about the cancellation during the press conference.

WTF?
RACINE, Wis. – Police in Wisconsin say four people were injured after a drunk driver hit another drunk driver in Racine.
Police say one drunk driver was traveling at a high rate of speed on Main Street when he missed a turn and went the wrong way on another street around 2:40 a.m. Saturday. He hit two parked cars, rolled over and hit an oncoming car driven by another drunk driver.
Lt. Mike Polzin says none of injuries are considered life threatening.
He says a 27-year-old Pleasant Prairie man was cited for causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle and a 35-year-old Racine man was cited for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
Frackin idiots. Too bad this wasn’t the norm then the rest of us wouldn’t have to worry.

The reason
the drunk driver themself is rarely killed… or, at least, less often killed than their sober victims… is because a driver who’s intoxicated usually moves with the traumatizing force, while a sober, alert human being is more likely to tense up and instinctively react against the force, which is the normal human response. Think of it as an example of “bend, don’t break” in the case of the drunk driver.
