The thread is supposed to be about Nick Adenhart, a person that i knew and had alot of respect for and admired he had talent, courage, morals and the world ahead of him. He was going to be an allstar, its supposed to be about him and remembering him, not some race crap

Dan why would you bring up my car and that cowardly act? Aren't you encouraging more random acts of equal cowardice? I mean I've been one of your biggest supporters and actually mentioned, more than once, how you're always so positive...that's why I was shocked to see your name attached to that comment..and said so using my name. Sorry you were offended. Let's see over the past 5 years or so you have never been called on anything and then you call me an AH even after meeting me? I still don't think it's the same Dan...at least that's my hope.
Better yet Dan...just so we're clear...what were you doing when we talked? Who were you with...only you and me would know that. Your response seems heavy handed considering your blog stature as a pretty level headed man.
The car BS WAS STUPID ON YOUR PART BUT CALLING ME AN AH...WELL LET'S MAKE SURE IT WAS YOU BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
Fair enough?
STILL A DAN FAN....UNTIL I KNOW DIFFERENT.

Frank C,
Racial comments? then you go on a binge of Towel heads, fishheads and rednecks. YOU ARE PRETTY GOOD WITH THOSE.! lets not forget a innocent lives were taken here by someone who could care less. Now that he is sober and told of what he did he dont give a rats a-- he will go to jail reunite with his friends in there and us tax payers will foot the bill for this low life. Frank of all people this guy makes the race of Latinos look very bad. Gang bangers are a menece to society and should be throw to wolves at every opportunity available. When can it be the other way around where a drunk driver hitS someone with his car and kills himself. You talk about color. Well that shade of green on your car I can still see some spot AH.

No matter his race, you can tell the type from the picture: shaved head-white tee-shirt guy who thinks he's tough, but in reality these guys are true punks whose mommmas still wash their underwear. A total loser, as are ALL gang members. I for one am sick of these gangbanger idiots who bring absolutely nothing to this world except their ignorance and destruction. Then, when they get killed, their familes and friends talk about how nice they were. BS! No mercy for these idiots! The OC Register article said her was kicked out of rehab because he was "acting like a gangbanger" and did not take it seriously.
How about this: all of these gangsters and wannabe gangsters- latino, white, asian or black are worthless human beings.

Actually Dan he looks like he could be your son or one of your relatives..I mean feature wise. I'm shocked by your comment. "Mex. gangbanger"...that was totally uncalled for. Let's not compound a terrible tragedy with blatant racial stereotyipical comments.
Tell me this isn't Dan from West Covina?
Drunk driving is a "national problem"...I've said this before. There is NO GOOD REASON FOR PARENTS TO DRINK ON HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES....ABSOLUTELY NONE!"
I'VE SEEN THIS FIRST HAND WHERE PARENTS DRINK BEFORE GAMES AND AFTER GAMES AND THEN PUT THEIR KIDS INTO THEIR CARS AND DRIVE THEM HOME.
This "individual" who killed the Angel's pitcher is no less a scum bag than those parents.."WHO GET AWAY WITHOUT KILLING SOMEONE ON THE WAY HOME AFTER A FEW...EITHER AFTER GAMES OR AFTER WORK".
DIDN'T A BONITA PLAYER GET KILLED A FEW YEARS AGO DRIVING HOME FROM HIS PIZZA JOB? I STILL SEE THE #55 ON SEVERAL WINDOWS AROUND TOWN.
DID A "DIRTY REDNECK" KILL HIM OR WAS IT A "DIRTY TOWEL HEAD" OR A "FISH HEAD"...MAYBE I'M OVER PLAYING THE POINT BUT DRINKING AND DRIVING KILL PEOPLE EVERY DAY...THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY MAKE OR THE COLOR OF SOMEONE'S SKIN NEVER MAKES THE PAIN ANY GREATER OR LESSENS THE LOSS.
I'VE SEEN A DRUNK DRIVER RUN OVER HIS OWN BROTHER ONCE AND WAS THE FIRST PERSON ON THE SCENE. SEEMS THE YOUNGER BROTHER HIT A PIECE OF WOOD AND FELL OFF HIS MOPED AND WAS RUN OVER BY HIS BROTHER IN THE VAN BEHIND HIM.
SADDER THAN TRYING TO HELP THE DEAD KID WAS SEEING HIS BROTHER TRYING TO GIVE HIM MOUTH TO MOUTH AFTER I HAD...HE WAS LONG GONE.
SADDER EVEN THAN THAT...WAS THE BROTHER WAS TOO DRUNK TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE...THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME BEFORE DRIVING AWAY IN HIS VAN WAS..."DUDE...WHEN HE WAKES UP TELL HIM I'M SORRY"

Nick was a class kid, i enjoyed meeting him a few times, polite, respectful kid R.I.P buddy

What a tradgedy. Rookie pitcher that just made the bigs and this happens. R.I.P. Adenhart. Hit and Run? Hope they caught or catch the person who did this. Whats going on over there in Anaheim. A fan gets killed on opening day and now a player? Not to relate the two.

At the games last night. The kid pitched his butt off getting out of mutiple jams. Its horrible that he was trying to have some fun with friends and now its all over. Prayers go out to his family and friends

This is very sad. My son is a major Angel fan. My deepest prayers go out to his family!
