Food for Thought

The first week of baseball has been pretty exciting and there are several side plots developing quickly. It's also been very tragic. 22 year old Angel's rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart died in a car crash outside of Fullerton, CA in the wee hours of this morning, just hours after stifling the A's through six innings. In times like this you'll hear people use words like 'tragic' and 'heart wrenching' but in reality there is nothing you can say when moments like this arrive. I, like many others, will simply be shaking our heads in near disbelief, and can only wonder what it must be like for his friends, family, teammates and those in the Angels orginization. Because in all honesty, can anyone outside of those people, and the people who have been touched by similar tragedies, even begin to understand the emotion involved? Just keep the Adenhart family in your prayers, for that is simply all that we can do.
