Hummmm.....
From Yankess Homepage==>"Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was the pilot of a plane that crashed into a highrise apartment building in Manhattan on Wednesday, according to published reports. Lidle, 34, who earned his pilot's license last offseason, was killed in the crash, the reports said."
Perhaps he was despondent over that 5th inning in game 4 vs. the Tigers...http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/gameday_recap.jsp?ymd=20061007&content_id=1703772&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy

Is hitting a building a strike or ball?
I forget the rules.
I forget the rules.
he finally got that one-hitter.
So, does the Administration invade the Yankees now?
that would be a bad idea. they have a bigger budget than us.
No, it's just like 9/11 - a Yankees pitcher hits us, so we invade the Raiders and lie to make it look like they had ties with the Yankees.
(but everyone knows that the Raiders are no longer a threat...)
does the building get to take a base?
(I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry... I tried, but i couldn't help myself...)

baDUM - tss!
T.O. would have survived that.
why break with tradition now ?
remember, we're only talking new york city here.
if the same thing happened anywhere but there or LA,
it'd be mentioned once or twice on the news, and that'd be the end of it.
as it is now, that's all we'll hear about for days until the next gay congressman screws up.
Although the cause of the crash would have been from sleeping pills...
If only Jeter was on that plane.
Go Sox!
Go Sox!
didn't take too long (though he's an ex-selectman, not a congressman)

If anyone noticed, I haven't chimed in with my opinion about this.
After seeing N8's original post about the plane crash, I immediately called my parents, who still live in NYC, to check on them and if they heard about the crash.
Later, I realized my cousin lived in the Upper East Side so I called home again to check on her. She was not affected, btw.
I feel somewhat odd about all this. It upsets me that people are mocking the deaths of two people, and I wonder why I am so sensitive about it. I was in New York City during 9/11, and for months afterwards. I also lived there during the first attack on the WTC, and of course, I have many friends and family who suffered through the power blackouts, train strikes, and other disasters which have hit NY.
I can't tell anyone that they are callous, because I have been accused of that myself. But I am upset about this crash, Yankee or not.

Gallows humour man. Too many ****ty things happen everyday, you feel bad for the people hurt/killed, laugh about it so you don't lose your mind and move on.
The building hated freedom....
it was an accident, they are everywhere. if i am upset about anything it's about the fact that the flight instructor who died will not be remembered. it is all about ledle. the instructor will simply be remembered as "that guy who was in the plane with ledle." what makes celebrities so special that their deaths require 1000x more media attention than the average guy? and ledle most likely left his family with plenty of money for them to support themselves, what about the instructor? was his family living comfortably or just scraping by? did he have a life insurance policy so that if anything happened to him his family wouldn't have to go on welfare because they can't support themselves anymore?sanjuro said:
life happens, it's nothing new.
Somewhat ironic that the plane itself is equipped with a parachute in case something fails.
I can't help picturing a Wile E. Coyote like scene of the plane smashing into the building and then the chute quietly deploying with a "poof", and then deflating...

if the instructor were a young, pretty white girl, we'd know her name. that's another problem w/ our media. if brian peppers twin sister or a minority single mom in the hood turns up missing, nobody cares.
Damn you for making me laugh so hard.....
