It's so sad

I feel really bad for the guy, he was younger than me. I can't believe a second Yankee has died piloting his own plane. It's sad that other people died as well, it seems like a total of 4 people and some of them had to be from the building.

Just like Thurman

I read the other person in the plane was

his flight instructor.

Wow!

He seemed to be a very solid stand-up guy. My best to his family. This will definitely help all Yankee fans who have been whining about the Detroit series to really snap out of it for sure. RIP Cory.

Cory Lidles Passing

First off my Deepest sincere sympathy to all of you, to the Yankees family and especially to Cory Lidle's family, his wife, and his son. As a fn of the Phillies here in Philadelphia, PA, I can only hope and pray that you all grow in strength, and that your mourning and pain may lessen as the days go by.

Cory was one of the Phillies, once. when he packed up and went to the Yankees, with Bobby Abreu, I actually thought it was good for him. He wasn't doing as well in Philly, and to send him to the Yankees, was to me, like sending him to boot camp. I don't mean that in a bad way. To put it bluntly, Yankees don't take any crap from their player, as much as the Phillies do, and mind you I'm a Phillies fan saying this! I knew the Phils weren't going to the Series this year, and I thought it would be cool for Cory, and Bobby to experience something they might not get in Philly. If I was there I would of packed Cory's bag including a gallon of his favorite Ice cream kissed him on the forehead and sent him off.

Cory you will be missed not just by the Yankees fans, but Phillies fans too!! We still love you!

Yankees fans stay strong, remember you are always welcome in Philly, and we'd love to see you come down for a game!!

All my love,
Phillies Angel 0526
