It's one thing to be a hot head, but it's another thing to respond arrogantly and not allow a caller a rebuttal. I feel strongly about this one - good riddance.
He was a polarizing guy for sure, but I loved listening to him on the radio. I pretty much exclusively consume baseball via the radio, and I'm really disappointed he's gone. Listening to many other radio feeds, I can easily say I liked Wilner and Wagner the best. They kept things relatively light and were not "old white men" calling the game like many other teams have (and the Blue Jays used to have).
