I'd like to think that I did my part to support his burial when I paid $10 to pick him up and take a picture with him outside of Fenway in 2004.

I like how "mascot" got rethought into "midget" on the second post there, SecondAces... a little window into the old "time to reflect" component of posting.

So there's a moratorium on making jokes about a mediocre pitcher that wasn't good enough to last more than 3 years on a team, but it is OK to make ruthless jokes about a "midget". Great.

Just my opinion: they're cracking jokes about him. Not the way he died. And in my mind, at least, there's a difference.

De la Rosa is survived by his wife, a 9-year-old son, his mother and five siblings.

If his wife was normal sized, then she was into some really sick shit.

Did it ever occur to anyone that Nelson de la Rosa actually looked like Pedro? I wish you guys had a shot of him wearing the goggles, post-ALCS. Can anyone make this happen? I feel like there should be a fitting farewell to the guy on this website.

Oh, StarterWife, thank you for the midday Attell reference. Warms my little heart.

The other pull quote was his survivors, who include his wife and 9 year old son.

Now, I'm not going to go around and be all mean and stuff, but there's something about imagining Lil' Nelson making a baby (who was probably nearly as big as him by the baby's 6 month birthday), that kind of skeeves me out.
