AdenHEART

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others were killed by a suspected drunk driver Thursday, a shocking end to the life of a rookie who had overcome major elbow surgery to realize his big league dreams.

There are few things in life sadder than someone going before their time.  One such thing that is sadder though is when you die early and you play for the Angels. The next few days will be incredibly difficult for the Adenhart family, but mainly because of the asinine attempts to make Adenhart an emanation of a supreme divine being...an angel if you will.  Think of how many sports writers, talk show hosts and eulogists will adhere to the coincidence like a gay disco sponsored by Zima.  When NASCAR legend Dick Trickle had a bladder infection, that was just funny.  But Adenhart is plain sad.

RIP NA.
