Title: Pitcher Darryl Kile found dead
Post by: shockwaves on June 22, 2002, 02:03:39 PM: This is just a shock to me. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room today. The causes of his death are still unknown, but it is believed that he died of natural causes.

This comes just days after St. Louis also lost Jack Buck. This is just a horrible event for baseball, and the city of St. Louis.

:( :( :(

Post by: shockwaves on June 22, 2002, 02:25:18 PM: Actually, he was supposed to start tomorrow. Todays game was obviously called, and tomorrows may be too. This is really sad.

They say he died in his sleep. He was found in bed. The autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

How old was Buck?

And regarding Kile\'s age. I dont really see how he could have died from natural causes. Possibly just an early diagnosis without an autopsy.... Im not gonna comment on what kind of a life he led becuase I knew nothing about him. But is it possible at all that drugs were involved?

Meh, you just posted a little before me...

I actually picked the Cards at the start of the season to win the series this year. It looks like this will give them a reason to play. Win it for Darryl.

I actually just heard that his father had died of a brain anurism at age 44. Perhaps this is what killed Darryl too.

Post by: ROL Jamas on June 22, 2002, 03:30:55 PM: Well, this is another sad turn of events for the St. Louis Cardinals and the MLB, and as a die hard Cubs fan, my deepest consolences to the Cardinals Ballclub and all of it\'s fans. The Cubs and Cardinals may be a rivalry, but what\'s happened to the Cardinals Organization over the past week has nothing to do with wins or losses, and I, along with all Cubs fans, are deeply saddened by it.

It\'s hard to find the words when something like this happens...just thought i\'d say something about it, as I usually don\'t have the opportunity to say something at my mom\'s house with her WebTV...ugh.

And yes, the Cardinals have something to play for now, but Kile was a huge leader on that team, and the Cardinals will miss him dearly.

See Yuz.
