RIP smitty, wish your family the best and hope they know there is a weird group of internet pals you brought real joy to.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Very sad. He was a great poster.
Maybe we can rename the HOF in his honor?

My first reaction to that is, "What a lovely idea."
"I'm in a bar with the games sound turned off and that Cespedes home run still sounded like inevitability."

RIP, smitty. Way cooler arguing with you, or agreeing with you, than just about anyone.

GGSA you’ll be missed. You were the best of us.

A class act... RIP Smitty
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

I love everyone here, but Carl was a top notch classy guy. He left words of support for me when he knew I was struggling career wise. Excellent sense of humor. The world is not as bright without him.
Together we will win this game against the evil Space Yankees! Eat Fresh!
