Jon Arguello died

[imb]

Dunno what mass opinion of him is/was but kinda came outta nowhere.

 

edit: OK he had brain cancer, damn.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I think he got it into remission and then it came back recently. Cancer sucks.

[UMFan83]

Yeah i remember reading that his cancer was back about a month ago. That sucks he seemed like a good guy and good writer. RIP

[SouthSideRyan]

I just found out he was sick when Len shouted him out last night. Yikes.

Damn. He'd talk prospects forever, with anyone. Just a good dude. RIP. Was the best Cubs prospect writer by far.

Damn, horsefeathers cancer. Hate to hear that. He was def good at covering the minors and I liked reading his stuff when the big league team was awful.

 

Feel like a jerk for making fun of him with the payroll increase thing.

His last tweet was 6 hours ago?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I don’t know who that guy is

[Sammys Boombox]

His last tweet was 6 hours ago?

 

I'm pretty sure those are auto tweets or somebody else running the account for the blog..

DiCaro mentioned Theo told him he was one of the few bloggers that got the plan. I know that had to make John happy.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Many of the writers did a big tribute today on the site and I can only hope that some day that many people will have such nice things to say after I pass. He impacted a lot of people deeply. This was a big loss for the Cubby community.
