All the discussion about whether Schilling should start game 4 was
quite amusing to this "old-timer". There was a time, children, when 4
man rotations were the norm & pitchers regularly pitched on 3 days
rest for the whole season, not just once or twice. It was last
century, of course, back when only women wore earrings & tatoos were
for sailors.

Speaking of "men", Tom Chaney died today. Holder of the major-league
strikeout record, striking out 21 batters in a 16-inning game in 1962 while
pitching for the Senators. Threw 228 pitches in that game - more than
Schilling has thrown so far in the Series!

I saw a quote by Bob Gibson, he said something to the effect of " hey man, this
is the World Series, if you can't pitch on 3 days rest, then go home.

Now, now...

Tatoos were fairly common amongst *servicemen* (Army, Air Farce[1],
Jarheads *and* Navy), especially the ones who went to Japan and got
drunk somewhere near a tatoo parlor.

[1] Dad was in the Air Farce[2] and got a big old Bald Eagle tattooed
on his arm while stationed in Japan.

[2] I was born in an Air Force hospital, so I get to call it the Air
Farce (even though *I* went into the Navy like my dear old Grandpa).

And the sports journalists were also men.

Not raspy-voiced stacatto-speaking penis envious female impersonators
like FOX's Jeannie Velasco or ESPN's Linda Cohn. And CNN has their
own female impersonator doing sports, whose name escapes me.

Do they all come out of an assembly line someplace? Has anyone
actually ever seen the three of them together?

When men were *real* men, and women were *real* women, and small fluffy

Bonnie Bernstein. Suzy Kolber. Jill Arrington.

And what's wrong with Jeannie? She's no Playboy Bunny, but she does a
better job hosting Fox's MLB show than Keith Annoyingman, and that's
what's important.

Jeannie Velasco wants to be a man. They ALL want to be men! They ALL
have that raspy-voiced stacatto-speaking delivery that intuits "I want
to be a man".

Not at all. She should find another line of work. All of them
should. The title of this thread is "When Men Were Men". I was
waxing nostalgic for an era when only men were engaged in THIS line of
work.
