.....fuck this world

 

[JimJamJones]

Just saw the news. I was supposed to go to the game today.

This is devastating. First CB, now Jose. Fuck this week.

Jose was a huge reason the Marlins looked like they were finally getting on track.

 

[rando14]

I cant believe this

 

[billeh]

Just awful. 24 fucking years old.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Unbelievable.

 

[Windu]

marlins game is this afternoon, supposed to have a pregame honoring Ichiro, will probably be different now....

Game is cancelled.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

They canceled the game when Darryl Kile died so this is probably going to get canceled.

Edit: Yep. Manfred canceled it.

 

[gamz]

OMG! What a fucking tragedy! I can't believe it! One of the best pitchers in baseball.

My heart goes out to his family and the baseball world. WOW!

What a shame. One of my favorite pitchers to watch pitch. Always seemed like a great guy with a huge career ahead of him. Man, how so, so sad.

At least two other people died in the accident.

At least three people are reportedly dead after a boat crash off Miami Beach on Sunday morning.

Emergency workers are searching for more victims near Government Cut and South Pointe Park.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews responded to the crash of the 30-foot boat.

“They found a boat that was up against the jetties,” Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Todd Garofalo told WSVN. “They did do an initial search and they found three victims — two on top of the water, one underneath the boat and they had unfortunately passed away.”

[Eleuin]

What the fuck

 

[gamz]

How odd. My wife's brother died (he was 21) in a random car accident 15 years ago and we were just talking about this last night. She was down (crying) thinking about it (and he was a great, smart kid) and I consoled her saying random stuff happens all the time baby. Nothing you can but enjoy the time you spent with him.

Now this.

Something must have really fucked up if the boat is looking like that upon the rocks.

Excuse my ignorance, but do the federal government down there investigste boat crashes like this or is it mainly a local PD thing?

 

[matthewwhatever]

Terrible news. He wasn't just a great young player, he played with so much joy and personality.

Huge loss for baseball.

 

[zroid]

oh my god.... I'm crying

 

[RBH]

Good lord. Horrifying news to wake up to.

RIP to all those affected

 

[Chuck]

What the fuck

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

My boy just texted, wtfffff. This is unbelievable man. RIP

 

[zroid]

Good lord. Horrifying news to wake up to.

RIP to all those affected

I just sat up in bed, picked up my phone and there was the Score app notification staring me in the face

It was paralyzing

 

[bonesmccoy]

May he, & the others killed, rest in peace.

 

[Caja 117]

Fuck, my wife just told me, RIP so much talent lost, even as someone that doesnt follow the Marlins, he was one of those players that were exciting to watch, I still remember that monster Hr against the Braves a few years back. Im so sad about all this.

 

[cashman]

Jose was one of my favorite non Rangers ever. RIP to him and thoughts for his family.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I woke up and saw this news staring at my face from the MLB app. I couldn't hold back my tears. Absolutely devastating.

 

[Dominican Power]

What a fucking tragedy. Dude came back stronger than ever from tgs and was in line for a big pay day.

 

[Malo]

He was one of my favorite players. I still can't believe it.

Everyone should watch Eduardo Perez' remembrance of Fernandez:

[PROh1bited]

Wow.

That's the only word I have for what happened to one of the more promising young pitchers in the game.

Life is cruel, and you never can predict what can happen.

Go hug your loved ones.

RIP Jose.

 

[3N16MA]

Tragic news. Jose was as talented as they come and I loved the passion he played with. My brother was just talking about him because his start was pushed back and he would be playing the Mets.

Tough time for his family.

 

[jbug617]

Ortiz ask the Rays to cancel the pregame ceremony.

Given today's tragedy, we are canceling our pregame ceremony recognizing @RedSox David Ortiz, per his wishes.

 

[Dominican Power]

Fuck 2016.

 

[17 Seconds]

wow.

 

[3N16MA]

This reminded of Oscar Taveras passing away a couple of years ago.

This sucks.

 

[Fox318]

I was just talking with somebody about Fernandez.

God i feel sick.

 

[GK86]

Man, Jose Fernandez was one of those players that I loved to watch compete. Beyond having just filthy stuff, he had such passion on the mound. I hated and loved how silly he made the Mets' hitters look over the years. RIP Jose!

Eduardo's got a big heart for doing that interview and keeping it together given his close connections to Jose.

One thing's for true: Baseball in Miami will never be the same again.

 

[BFIB]

This reminded of Oscar Taveras passing away a couple of years ago.

This sucks.

Especially when you read about their stories of hardship to chase their dream. So sad to all those affected.

 

[detectiveconan1]

I'm literally in tears right now. RIP Jose

 

[Corran Horn]

Oh wow I just saw. RIP

 

[Line_HTX]

Man, what the fuck... this was a talented pitcher?

Gone too soon at 24... Condolences to his family and the Marlins.

T__T

 

[Lunar FC]

Worst news to wake up to. So bummed.

RIP Jose.

What happened in that one?

This is the worst thing to wake up to. God, fuck 2016 again and again...

 

[zroid]

 

[Couleurs]

This is so fucked up, it's hard to believe it's real.

 

[Corran Horn]

 

[JABEE]

I can't believe the news. I loved watching him pitch. Such sad news to see turning on ESPN to watch football.

RIP Jose Fernandez

 

[Choomp]

The Marlins press conference is happening right now. Every player there in uniform. Literal tears.

Absolutely awful news to wake up to. RIP Jose. 😭

I think Oscar died on Sunday too.

Mattingly can't handle this ;_;


This is fucking horrible. Just horrible.
