JPBlueHen Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 The news was just a complete and utter shock to me. It's unbelievable how just a few days ago we were talking about the Yankees getting eliminated from the postseason and leading to Joe Torre almost getting fired and A-Rod trade talks. It seems that news is now just a footnote compared to today. I was just thinking earlier today that the Yankees should start getting rid of their starting pitchers. I never would have thought it would happen this way. R.I.P., Cory Lidle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never would have thought it would happen this way. R.I.P., Cory Lidle.Couldn't have said it better... I've seen and heard alot of comments on television and radio today about how this really puts things in perspective, and while it's quickly becoming a cliche, it rings true every time I hear it.We often forget that these stars and gladiators on the baseball diamond are actual people. Cory Lidle leaves behind a wife, 6-year-old son, and a bevy of family members and friends. Forget that the Yankees lose a pitcher. Forget that the only reason we know this man is his role in the sports world. Two men died in this crash in an unspeakable tragedy that none of us will soon forget. Value life, folks. This is how quickly it can end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I saw this article on ESPN.com about how his father found out through TV and his wife and son have not dound out (as of this article) because they were on a flight back home. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2622099I would hate to find out about a family members death like that and couldn't imagine getting off a plane an having someone come up to you telling that a family member died like what is going to have to happen to his wife. This is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I just realised something a little weird. I wore the old T-Bird Jays cap today and that was the cap style Lidle wore when he was a Jay. Kind of weird if you ask me...

paynomind Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Very sad when anyone dies in an accident. For some reason, shocking when it is a name and face you know.

Freaky.Sigh... my point is the T-Bird cap was only worn for the 2003 season - the lone season Lidle pitched for the Jays. Thats why I find it strange, just because it is an uncommon hat.
