Actually, I would.

Pedro has nothing left. I would take most anyone with a competent arm over pedro.

Mets fan dies after falling off an escalator at Shea

It's a good thing they weren't playing the Phillies.  I'm sure they'd blame a Philly fan.

[Feva]

Too bad he didn't fall on a Philly fan, i.e. you.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yeah, good thing you're not a Philly fan.

[Feva]

oops...

Wow, that actually sucks.  I wonder if the dude was wasted or if it was just some freak accident.  The article said his wife is prego right now too.  Sad. 

[SunMo]

yeah, there's more to that story...how do you lose your balance and fall off an escalator? 

[BigEd76]

Nararainsami was walking down the escalator, which wasn't moving, and was holding the hand rail when he "lost his footing."

"You'll never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order' sign...just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs'. Sorry for the convenience."

So this guy was basically walking down steps and slipped but somehow fell over a railing.  umm

[SunMo]

i'd be willing to bet he was being wacky by trying to jump on the side rail or something and he slipped

[Rome]

I was at the Orange Bowl a few years ago and I saw a guy fall face first into the grid at the bottom of the escalator.  It was one of the gnarliest things I've ever seen.  Dude was chewed up with gashes and blood flowing all over his face.

Nasty.

[DH]

the story is the guy was trying to slide down the railing and fell to his death.

and he was wearing a phillies jersey.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He was wearing a Mets hat and a Phillies jersey?

[SunMo]

a mets hat, a eagles jersey, and had Nets underwear on...truly a troubled soul

[DH]

a mets hat, a eagles jersey, and had no underwear on

sounds familiar...
