Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today.
I have seen many blogs regarding my Uncle Doug but not that have been so distateful. This is a man with a family and this is a horrible time for them. Please remember that all of the players are just human and deal with life struggles just like we all do. Sometimes the struggles feel like more than we can handle. Hopefully no one will choose the same way out of their troubles Doug did but please be thoughtful of those of us left behind to deal with the outcome.

Tracey, I've been a Blue Jays fan for as long as I can remember and every Blue Jays fan is a fan of Doug Ault. His two homers on opening day made him a legend around here. When I read of his passing, I wrote this entry. I was extremely complimentary and respectful and I meant every word of it.
Yesterday, I posted a Guest Blog submitted by an anonymous person via this form. I'll post just about anything, including this entry in which the author cracked a joke about your uncle's suicide being the result of the Blue Jays' poor performance of late. I personally don't think there's anything funny about suicide and would never have written such an entry myself. Remember, any text that's blocked off with the blue background is not written by me. I'm sorry if it offended your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
