TR's blog
His last blog entry had a poem and this message at the bottom
The Elysian Fields will be closed for awhile.
Info on Poem's author John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Is there something up with TR, or the MLB blogs? And what is with the helicopter image? It looks like comments are closed on the article.

Actually
To me its sounds a bit suicidal or defeated. I have absolutely no info on this and no apparent reason to say this, but it sounds to me like a sudden fall from grace (ie, something will be exposed)
I miss 1989. I miss 1996. Please make me miss another season in 2008.

Thanks for clearing this up Jamey...
…hopefully all the speculation will die down now.
We couldn't have known it at the time but we definitely killed the wrong Belushi brother.

Gee...
Had I been in T.R.‘s shoes, I would have just come out with the news rather than be mysterious about it. But then, that’s why he’s great and I’m a school bus driver.
