[bsucubsfan]

While it's probably true, trusting a source at Cubs.com could be a bit sketchy.

Yeah, like the injury report. It's usually sketchy. ;) :D

Man, just reading that thred on the site which shall remain nameless gave me a cold chill. Thanks to NSBB!

 

Here's to The Shooter, RIP.

not to add fuel to the fire, but i know shooter lives here (phoenix) and it would make sense about the two kids. he has two daughters that live here with him as well. i met him at the phoenix airport. i was sitting next to his ex-nanny on a flight back from sacramento and she introduced me to him and we huffed down a couple of heaters while waiting for our luggage.

 

i loved the shooter

[BigbadB]

It's apparently official now. Hawk just announced it during the Cub game.

[Cubfanintheknow]

I'm going to hoist a couple in his honor tonight after work.

 

Here's a link to my all-time favorite article about The Shooter. SUmmed up the guy perfectly.

In his next save opportunity Dempster must wear a mullet wig in tribute to the Shooter.

[Slugger_16]

He was just 38? Man, I thought he was in his mid-30s in 1998. He looked old then.

he appeared to have lots of mileage.

It's always sad to see someone so young pass away. R.I.P. Shooter.

[Post Count Padder]

Oh man, I always liked Rod Beck
