The next RBI'er to die will be...cast your vote

[Mr. Blubbo]

Based upon Shooty's idea:

The rules are simple- pick the next RBI'er to die. 

If you win, you will get a hearty congrats from the Dee-Nee community and be labeled as the "Dee-Nee Oracle". 

EDIT: Please select cause of death as well so that way people can pick the same person, but perhaps a different cause of death. Edit2 - At this point one RBI'er to one person.  If you disagree, do a followup post...

[Mr. Blubbo]

My vote is for Darryl Strawberry

EDIT:  Cause of death= drug overdose (specifically cocaine)

[fknmclane]

Don Sutton will die in an accident with Napolean Dynamite.

[Gantry]

Kevin Mitchell will die, and die soon...

I guess we'll use this thread for fresh votes instead of the old RBI Dead Pool one...

There was an old one?  Whoops.

[BeefMaster]

I disallowed Darryl in my other thread, because his history of cancer and drug use makes him too easy a choice.  I think I picked hJose Canseco, as I can imagine him and his brother being found in a ditch after a bar fight someday.  Don Baylor recently had cancer, I think, which would make him a good choice.

We may as well use this thread - it'll be a little more up-to-date, since the other one is mostly from 2003.

[TβG]

all-cancer team:  galrga, edavis, strwby, baylor?, dykstr?, ??

[OctoFranco]

Kruk had nut cancer, and is also fat.  Not a bad bet.

I shall morbidly take Doc Gooden (drug/alcohol-related car accident).

[Attezz]

I'm gonna take Al Pedriq, he'll be murdered while managing in Mexico and since it's Al Pedriq, nobody will care.

RBI Cancer Roster
Galarraga - Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, diagnosed 1999
Strawberry - Colon (spread to lymph nodes), diagnosed 1998
Baylor - Multiple myeloma (bone marrow), diagnosed 2003
Davis - Colon, diagnosed 1997
Kruk - Testicular, diagnosed 1994

I searched on Dykstra, and it doesn't appear that he had cancer, although he and Molitor were spokesmen for the National Spit Tobacco Education Program, which was trying to combat mouth cancer.

I'd do a drug use list, but it'd be easier to just link to the Mets' page and also mention Raines and Canseco (they're the first ones who come to mind offhand).

[Nacho]

Doc Gooden - heart attack (drugs)

[Shooty]

McGwire - heart attack (casued by steroid abuse)

[BDawk]

I voted for Pedro Guerrero in the other thread. I'm sticking with that.

Edit: reason: falling out of a tree

[Gerlost]

Bob Boone will be struck down by God for his terrible play with the Hip Young Popes.

[ultimate7]

I wonder how many more times we'll have this thread.

I'll go with Baylor

[ericdavisfan]

Kevin Mitchell will die, and die soon...

I guess we'll use this thread for fresh votes instead of the old RBI Dead Pool one...

I think Gantry meant to cast this vote in the "Next RBI'er to kill something" puhl

[Gantry]

If there's an RBI'ers cat Dead Pool, I also vote for Mitchell...

I think that everyone gets to vote for one player and one player only.  I don't like picking cause of death because the odds are nobody will be right then.  It's a total crapshoot since nobody is on the virge of death, so everyone gets one player.  Thoughts?

I didn't search on any players I didn't know (basically, all the ones already mentioned)... there could be others, too.

[RedBarron]

I'm going with Wally Backman.

After losing the D'Backs job, he's resorted to giving Hand Jobs / blow jobs on the streets of Phoenix.

After an encounter with a drunken Mike D., backman catches syphylis and dies 3 days later.  . . .on October 9, 2006.
