[Powderguy]

Awful taste OP

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Shit, I heard people talking about Flanagan this morning. Figured that maybe he had come down w/ Cancer. **** me, RIP Mike.

[InTheDrink]

Read the article you dickbags. The subtitle says "flanagan was despondent over the orioles failures"

[AlwaysDrawing]

You will be missed, Mike. You'll always be an Orioles great. RIP.

[Thunder Gulch]

Do we have an "ignore" button. You crossed the line jackass

[neverstoppers23]

He was the former GM wouldn't surprise me if it at least factored into his thinking.

[alling]

no the people that bash the orioles drove him to suicide. in other words assholes like the OP.

[Bluehorseshoe]

I was ready to rip into Inthedrink until I read the article and saw "what he meant".

Still probably should have been worded differently in the OP.

Because there's a difference.

Fans in most cities love their losers right? Right? Right.

[tanner40]

He will be missed.

[ebbearsfb1]

I did read the article you piece of trash.. everyone in here can tell you are clearly making a joke of the mans death.. and don't Pm me

[stevek173]

RIP Mike

Gentleman, Legend.

[The Bet Master]

Never heard of the guy. But seriously anyone who takes their own life deserves the jokes that come their way. And in the OP's defense the article basicly said perception he caused the Orioles failure made him commit suicide. RIP

[I/O]

Guy was working for prolly one of the top 5 worst owners in baseball. That's hard to overcome.

[Brock Landers]

police did not immediately identify the cause of death, but sources confirmed that Flanagan took his own life "despondent over what he considered a false perception from a community he loved of his role in the team's prolonged failure," Sandusky said.

He shot himself in the face. How the hell do you do that to yourself?

Sad day in Birdland. Nobody here blamed Mike. It's all about the greedy little troll called Angelos.

Your post is poor taste also, never judge a person especially if you havent walked in their shoes.

I will judge anyone who is so selfish as to kill themselves.

[BernardMadoff]

Typical response, hopefully you dont ever have a debilitating pain that lasts for years.

[urge2kill]

I will judge anyone who is so selfish as to kill themselves.

It's also selfish to expect others to continue living despite their suffering.

Flanagan was a Legend in Baltimore, one of our most beloved players, Won a World Series, Won a Cy Young.

He was involved in everything Baltimore, and had been around professional baseball for 40 years, He was most recently one our broadcasters and he had wonderful stories and anecdotes about his time around the majors.

Growing up in Baltimore this was a guy we always respected and loved as apart of our community. The kind of player your father told you stories about since you were a child. I met the man a few times and he was always full of life, it's a shame he was suppressing so much while seeming so happy. RIP Flanny

[pacocn]

Don't forget Flanny's humor, he may have had the best sense of
humor in all of baseball. Rip Flanny
