SmokeSomeGagne:    Hey everybody!  I just wanted to hop back on and let you know I'm making my first rehab appearance of the year tonight.  I'm closing out for the Las Vegas 51s!
SmokeSomeGagne:    excuse me if I type slowly, I'm typing with one arm
SelePosturpedic:    AAAAAH
KentHardlyWait:    NO!  NO IT CAN'T BE, IT CAN'T BE AARON, WHAT'S GOING ON
SmokeSomeGagne:    What?  What's going on?
yhency_street_gang:    you spose be dead
TonyOlmedo:    this is the really real world, and there ain't no comin' back!  THERE AIN'T NO COMIN' BACK!
SmokeSomeGagne:    Oh come on, of course I'm not dead, I was just on the 15-day disabled list!
KentHardlyWait:    yeah, but you've been on that for like five years
SelePosturpedic:    Mmhm, Grady told me we were supposed to say you were on the 15 day DL to keep Dodgers fans from getting their feelings hurt. 
TonyOlmedo:    but       but    we had a funeral for you!  I WEPT ON YOUR CASKET, ERIC, I WEPT FOR DAYS LONG LOST
SmokeSomeGagne:    Holy shit, you had a funeral for me??
yhency_street_gang:    yes it was quite nice too, the revrun jesse jackson gave your eulogy
SmokeSomeGagne:    !!  what'd he say??
IM-eyTown:    Today we must balance the tears of sorrow with tears of joy, mix the bitter with the sweet, death and life.
IM-eyTown:    Eric as a figure in history was a rock in the water, creating concentric circles and ripples of new possibilities for injury.
IM-eyTown:    He needed medicine.  He was not immunized by God so he caught all the diseases that he fought. 
IM-eyTown:    The Lords arms of wrath enabled him to go through dangers seen and unseen, and he had the capacity to wear goggles with grace. Eric's body was a temple of God, an instrument in pieces.
IM-eyTown:    We would watch him disappear into nothingness and stand back as spectators and watch the suffering from afar.
IM-eyTown:    The mercy of god intersected this process Tuesday and submitted him to close away home, where referees are out of place, and only the Supreme Judge of the Universe speaks balls and strikes.
TonyOlmedo:    /collapses beneath weight of own tears
SmokeSomeGagne:    Shit, that was pretty nice.
KentHardlyWait:    yeah, no kidding, so if you don't mind we'd like for you to just stay on the disabled list for a while, because everybody is used to it by now.
SelePosturpedic:    And we don't want to kill the illusion for the fans.
SmokeSomeGagne:    hahaha, like I was ever planning to play again anyway
