We join the baseball community in mourning the passing of former Major League player Jesús Montero.
As a Minor League prospect, Montero appeared in the All-Star Futures game twice before debuting for the New York Yankees in September 2011. He posted a .996 OPS with 4 home runs and 12 RBI in 18 games and helped New York win the AL East Division title.
In four seasons with Seattle from 2012-2015, the Venezuelan native hit 24 homers and drove in 92 runs across 208 games as a catcher, first baseman, and designated hitter.
Montero was 35 years old.
needs to be a study done on how the overwhelming majority of "enforcer" types (using that word loosely bc it doesn't exist in the nhl anymore) are some of the softest & kindest ppl off the ice
i know we will probably never (at least in our lifetime) see a culture shift in the nhl but my god i hope it happens some day bc this is so fucking sad
a combination of
1) boring announcing
2) no one giving a shit about any of the teams left except for ppl who have already been fans of said teams (except maybe edmonton???)

This woman was gang-raped. It is so difficult to even read about what this woman was subjected to that night and now you have a bunch of people asking "what about the lives of the rapists?"
i actually think this season feels so much worse but genuinely just from a vibes perspective. like if they sucked even though they tried their hardest i can live with that but whatever happened this season was just not acceptable and embarrassing
I’ve been asked the question of “what’s more painful, your favorite team making it far and losing, or not making it at all?
While last years #NYR playoff exit was heartbreak, being this angry and disappointed hurts more I think.
What do you all think?
