This whole thing just sucks...

But, spirit doesn't die, it just moves out of the body. Brian will be back, probably playing shortstop for the Tigers. Hope this comment does not offend anyone. Feel what you are feeling.

My heart goes out to all the families who were touched by the tragedy. I don't even know what more to say, i'm not very good writing things at times like this. :( This is such a terrible thing.

Just a senseless way to die. Cut down by a coward of a person. Who didnt have the self respect to eat his own gun before shooting 30+ innocent people. A special place in hell is reserved for you, Cho. RIP Bri. Just a senseless way to die.

I hope they can find some solace in all our prayers. My daughter is going away to school in the fall. It was a heartbreak for me to have to tell her that I could not promise her that this could never happen to her. Although your mind knows that you can't guarantee the safety of your loved ones, it is awful to be reminded of that in such a graphic and horrifying way.

It was horrible to begin with, but it hurts even more when you have a link to one of the victims -- even if it's just through the internet. The Tigers, and Curtis Granderson especially, have done a great job recognizing one of their best fans, and I pray that Brian has been able to see how many people care about him and that he'll still be able to watch and root for his Tigers. RIP. He was a regular on John Sickels’ minor league ball as well:

We learn it from our father, uncle, brother (or mom, aunt or sister) so it's a family heirloom too. It's a retreat from the rat race, a haven for focusing our abilities and intelligence on something other than making money, a multi-faceted thing to share with friends and sporting rivals alike. It's a great topic to unite friends or make small talk with strangers to pass the time. Our shared interest in the game reminds us that we are all more or less the same and thus should treat each other well. It's a shame that someone like Brian Bluhm who appreciated all the things that baseball is met with such a tragic, unnecessary and early death.
