ST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Cardinals are mourning a teammate for the second time in five years, and it isn't any easier this time.

Josh Han****, a relief pitcher who helped the team win the World Series last season, died early Sunday when his sport utility vehicle slammed into the back of a tow truck, bringing back painful memories of Darryl Kile's death in June 2002.

Sadly, you doze-off. :nde:

And it's Josh Hanrooster, please. :huu:

Well, must have been drugs.. Seems he had a bad habit with trucks, as 3 days earlier he was clipped by a tractor trailer.. Lucky to survive it... The hand of death doesn't like near misses. :( He should have stayed home.

The coroner's office is reporting that he was drunk.

And talking on the cell phone, and not wearing his seat belt, and pot found in the SUV.

Boy, oh boy.

CNN showed a pic of the SUV at noon. Cleaned it over the hood, right back to the back seat. Very ugly.

Killed in a SUV? I thought people bought them because they are safe??

Even SUV's can't defy the laws of physics. If you're going fast enough and you hit something, you're gonna get hurt or killed regardless.

When you hit something like a flat-bed tow truck the initial contact point is your windshield.

All the 5-star ratings in the world won't help you then.

(Damn, wish I could find that pic. Then you would understand)

Maybe lucky should have bought himself one of these babies... :)
