f***, this really, really blows.
I'm going to try not to get hung up on the fact that my only encounter with him was of the negative variety, but I do feel bad because my only time really conversing with him was giving him a hard time on the old board for constantly nut-hugging the umps. In actuality, the guy was a solid poster and never really held a grudge.
I've been reading his posts for years and years. Even though they were somewhat laughable at times, I always really appreciated the entertainment value of his "inside sources" posts as well as his amazing ability to pick who would get called up next from the minors.
The board lost a good one, for sure.
RIP Kirksaw.
