    It is. He was a good leader at BBB.Net days is baseball. I talked to him a lot. We drifted apart when the forum was sold. I saw him here a few times.

    Sad, sad news indeed.

    Sad. Condolences to everyone who lost a friend. I only knew him as a poster and Blazer fan, but even so it was obvious he was a kind man.

    Holy shit. I thought I walked by him at the Philly game and went to go introduce myself. However, by that time there was too much of a crowd between us and I couldn't follow him with my six year old in tow and him in a wheelchair.

    I will now always wonder whether or not it was him.

    RIP Blaine. The Blazer fan base is a little less rabid.

    I think I saw Gambitnut once, from a distance. Ask Maris.

    I used to read his posts on BBB, but never posted to him. I saved board meeting pictures with him in them. Reading his old threads now, I see he was highly intelligent. Like my mother Jlprk, and like MGB, he and his helpers fought for his life every day. If his relatives are like mine, their burden is only beginning. I hope not.

    That's a shame. I met him at the Blazer party at GC Bowl last year. Very nice guy who will be missed.

    Blaine and a few other Blazers Chat-Room Posters at a Bash back in 2007. He is 2nd from left in photo.
    He'll be missed.

    It's me.

    I remember everyone in that pic except the guy in the far left in the back with glasses and dark hair.

    Yes. You said you couldn't go because the bus wouldn't run that late to get you home.

    True enough.

    I still take the bus to and from work; save me $1500 a year.

    There should be a photo from that meet and greet somewhere. Sly do you have it?

    Somewhere, I'll look for it later. Where you the one dressed as the Filipino lady boy or was that El Prez?
