Life and Death
The country feared another terrorist attack today when a small plane crashed into a high-rise in New York. NORAD immediately put fighter aircraft into the air over numerous U.S. cities. Turns out it was actually Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashing his Cirrus SR-20 after experiencing fuel problems.
It's crazy to think that had the Yankees defeated the Tigers in their divisional playoff series, he would have been preparing for a game today instead of flying to his death. I'll store this one away for the next time someone tells me that sports isn't a matter of life and death.
When Lidle was struggling on the mound in his last appearance, and the commentator said that he was so wild he couldn't hit the side of a 50-story high-rise on Manhattan's East Side...he was wrong.
Too soon?

Was it the SR20-G2 or the SR20-GTS?
Not too soon! Dead on target!

(yes, that was intentional.)
I woulda ended with "Touche" as oppoesed to "He was wrong" but other than that, I have no problems with it.
I agree with my name-brother; "Touche" would have been better.
Touche is something you say to someone who came back with a good response. In this case, the commentator would need to be the one saying touche, not me.
That's a fair point. I just saw the opportunity to call Drew my "name-brother" and took it. That said, I still stand by my name-brother. That's a bond that can't be broken.
