Thought it was kinda eerie, seeing as how he was in the answer to Will's baseball trivia not five days ago.

doesnt surprise me one bit.

he has had three or four setbacks in his rehabilitation since the 2002 World Series was over.

Also when the Giants went out and signed Benitez they pretty much were saying to Robb that they dont expect him to be right ever again. All the other teams must be taking that to heart because it definitly appears that nobody else was willing to take a chance on him.

Just too many setbacks. Finally he got the hint, its time to hang them up.

Yeah, sad to see. Nothing better than Hell's Bells as he walks onto the mound from the pullpen at then Pacific Bell Park.

I was bummed out to see that he retired. I was wondering about why I hadn't seen him in so long. I found out when I read the story about him having shoulder problems last week. It was pretty gutsy of him pitching with a bum shoulder in the World Series trying to help out his team.

it wasnt Hells Bells, it was Smoke on the Water.

Wasn't it Percival of the Angels that came out to Hell's Bells? I remember it was some relief pitcher / closer that came out to that song?

Lost in all this is the fact that Rusty Greer of the Texas Rangers also retired this week.

"I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."

Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.

my most fond Robb Nen memory was in the 02 NLCS when he shut down the cards a few times, it wasnt his performance that i remember, it was thinking to myself, oh yeah baby, Nen is in, its over.

Rusty Greer retired? I was thinking he retired a few years ago since I hadn't heard of him in so long.

i thought he went to play ball in Japan
