.@BringerOfRain20 I'm going to miss you man. Before you go, NOW do I have the best hair on the team? (sorry I use bad jokes to mask my pain)

With an All-Star mullet in tow, @BringerOfRain20 needs 2 B introduced 2 the great Canadian people wearing a denim jacket/pant combo just cuz
— Dallas Braden (@DALLASBRADEN209) November 29, 2014Dear @Rogers_Centre I recommend adding a second layer to the roof W/ the @BringerOfRain20 coming to town. Could be a downpour in that lineup

One of the hardest things about our game, saying goodbye to a great person, amazing teammate and friend! You will be missed! @blawrie13
