UPDATE: ESPN is reporting that the Angels’ game against Oakland scheduled for tonight has been postponed.
Getting killed in a felony hit-and-run after the game.
Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was one of three people killed in a three-car accident in Fullerton early this morning. Adenhart pitched six innings for the Angels last night, giving up only seven hits…well, eight now, I guess.
Authorities are blaming the three-vehicle accident on a motorist in a mini-van who ran a red light at East Orangethorpe Avenue and South Lemon Street.
Authorities say the driver of the van fled the scene, was later captured and charged with felony hit-and-run.
I always thought the hit-and-run was more of a National League thing. Adenhart was 22.

oh man, that was cold blooded
Damn…that’s fucked up.
that is seriously depressing.
I thought the AL had designated hitters…
Not funny.
Terrible news. Hate to see anyone’s – no matter what they do – life cut short.
It’s no time for jokes, but those were excellent ones.
Hey, at least there wasn’t a Toonces Photoshop.
They caught the hit and run driver? Good. We have the death penalty for a reason.

You guys are horrible. This is a tragedy, and you shouldn’t exploit it.
/very, very funny, though
Marshawn Lynch wasn’t anywhere near the scene was he?
Disney presents: Angels Under the Outfield.
Too soon?
*checks watch*
What?
Punte started it!
Snark is why we come here, but that really wasn’t cool.

Burnsy showed me this this excerpt from a feature on the angels patchwork pitching from two days ago:
Dustin Moseley, Nick Adenhart and Shane Loux aren’t exactly the drivers Manager Mike Scioscia was planning to use in his projected early ride through April.

why is it cool to make light of someone’s death?
It’s my bad, I watched him pitch last night and I dropped Jon Garland and picked him up on my Fantasy roster…which is obviously cursed. Just an awful tragedy though.
piss on all of you
why is it cool to make light of someone’s death?
See: With Leather archive.
get fucked
mmmm, I personally, like to “get fucked”. For once there’s someone more indignant than me on here.
There is a difference between posting sports related satire regarding the actions of idiotic players and events that are just tragic. Along with the quality of writing going down since the new writer has taken over, obviously this person as no sense when to back off issues.
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
No shit sbastic – withleather is spineless asshole.
sbastic, you couldn’t be more right on both counts. This new writer is painfully unfunny and an obvious douche’ for his recent attempt at humor.
Geez, I’d better start drowning puppies to take the focus our beloved editor. 100 days til Mike Vick’s release from prison. 101 days until he’s back on top of the world!!
Not funny, but what is a “spineless asshole”? Isn’t that normal?
What was Leonard Little doing in Fullerton?
My asshole is spineless, hairless and puckered with excitment right now. Leonard Little, lol, was Donte Stallworth too recent that you had to did up one from a decade ago?
You guys are complaining about tasteless humor on the Cleveland Steamer of sports blogs?
Think about that……
I bet reality just hit you like a runaway mini-van.
after reading your take on his man’s death I will not be returning to read your mediocre sports blog.

You’re having a quality outing tonight. Be carefull driving home.
Jesus, Ufford, isn’t Christmas Ape available? At least he’s crass and funny.
Lame, Punte. Lay-aim.
Haha, how do you not laugh when you hear a baseball player got killed in a hit and run? It’s too good.
A friendly reminder that “People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.”
you are a fucking ass hole. it’s a 22 year old kid that was killed. he wasn’t doing drugs or drinking and crashing into a pole, the kid was just driving. it doesn’t matter that he was a baseball player or not but trying to make light of an innocent kid losing his life before it had a chance to begin is horrible. i hope you never have to deal with what his family and friends are going through right now.
i used to enjoy reading this blog for the witty comments and trashing of celebrity, prima donna players that deserved what they got but this is a totally different situation and i will never browse to this page again.
Biggie, I was trying to make you work for it (at least a little bit). Donte Stallworth would have taken even less effort than the 3 seconds it took for me to think that up.
Another mom at the park today: “Did you hear about the little 8-year-old girl who was abducted from a neighbor’s house and killed? And her body was stuffed into a suitcase?”
Me: “Must have been a pretty big suitcase.”
Well I’ll give you this much, you handled this with more class than the Natashsa Richardson post a couple of weeks ago.
someone explain to me why death isn’t ok to joke about? it happens, sometimes in shitty ways. deal with it.
what would princess diana be doing if she was alive today?
scratching at the lid of her coffin.
C’mon, you guys act as if Punte is performing his eulogy.
Where were you guys when we were making fun of Jeremy Lusk dying trying to pull a Double-pits to Chesty?
Seriously? You can’t find anything to make jokes about today? Not OK. Done with the site. Pathetic.
He’d probably still be alive today if it weren’t for Punte.
Wow! This site has hit an all time low. Punte’s cheap, disgusting, deplorable attempt at humour couldn’t be further off the mark. This type of material is not why we come here. What a shame he had to stoop so low. I too, am done with this site barring an apology or Punte’s termination. Sorry guys, I have higher standards for this website.
