Oh yeah, Rod Beck Died.

Rod Beck died today, I forgot to post that in my rant about the All Star game. I'm saddened by this, because Rod Beck was awesome. He was a fat, overweight, handle bar mustache wearing guy, but he was fucking awesome. He didn't throw the ball very hard, and he wasn't very good at baseball, but he got the job done. Him and that handle bar mustache will be sincerely missed here at Marc and JD's Blog of Awesomeness.

Beck pitched for a lot of teams, The Giants, the Cubs, Red Sox, and Padres. He had a win-loss record of 38-45, 286 saves, and a 3.30 lifetime ERA (not as bad as it looks), and he was a three time all-star. All this means is that the fans liked him. I found it to be pertinent to my particular situation of hating the All Star Game. However, Rod Beck was actually good those years.

Thank you, and sorry for the quick post.
