Very upsetting
Why does this stuff always seem to happen to pitchers? Kyle, Hancock, now Kennedy...just awful. The morning after Thanksgiving, right before he was supposed to be best man at a wedding.
Together we mourn.

Yeah, very sad ...
and then there was also pitcher Cory Lidle last year. Anyway, I read that Kennedy's wife is pregnant. My thoughts go out to the family.

Just awful. And now the news of Shaun Taylor.
Together we mourn.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
