This is really sad.  I have met him a couple times and he is a kind and very fun guy...one of a kind.  I hope he is ok and wish his family well.

Thanks for posting that on a forum where my competing Ghoulpoolers live.  I was trying to keep that a secret.

Careful.  Someone might come along and accuse you of being a neanderthal for posting something like that.

Tedy's stroke must be worst than we initially suspected.  He forgot how to spell his own name.

I'm pulling for you my man. You're the reason I'm a millionaire. Thanks for having a strike zone as wide as an 18-wheeler in the '97 NLCS.
