Another view of Opening Day


TO HELL WITH OPENING DAY, I WANT BASEBALL BACK THE WAY IT USED TO BE

By Mean Old Man

I’m angrier than Mark McGwire at a Maris family reunion over the way the American pastime of baseball has been prissied up by the commie liberals!!!
.
In my day we had real baseball players; guys like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig, and later on the ol’ Mick. These were red blooded American players who knew how to play the game, not like today’s sissy players. The Babe would be out all night drinking and carousing and would wake up in the late morning with a hangover the size of Texas but he didn’t complain;—he went out to home plate and whacked a few out of the ballpark for some sick little tyke. And Ol’ Joltin’ Joe, there was a man; not only did he have Marilyn Monroe (the real American sex symbol—take that commie Britney!), but after dealing with her beauty and her whining all night long he could come to ol’ Yankee stadium and play the game of his life!! I’d like to see goofy Derek Cheater do the same. Damn!!!!
.
Kids today have it too easy and they don’t know what the game is about. In my day we played baseball after school and we would get our head bashed in by a few of the better players. The blood would be dripping from our noses and our foreheads and our hands would be swollen along with our knees. Sometimes we couldn’t even cry the pain was so bad---and we loved it!!! Not like the little twerps of today with their subversive video games. Hell, they wouldn’t even know a baseball if you threw it in their wimpy little face!! What happened to my country!!!!
And the pros are such little babies; they can’t even play a real game unless their all shot up with steroids. And still they get their butts kissed by the owners except for the last “real” player, good ol’ Pete Rose. There was a MAN for ya; and don’t talk to me about his gambling—every guy needs a little distraction from life and he didn’t ever bet against his own team either!!! If the Hall of Fame is good enough for the likes of Ty Cobb then ol’ Pete should be in there too-- pronto!!!
.
So all you prissy baseball fans enjoy the day. I’m sure you’ll be sitting in front of the ol’ TV’er today with your bottle of Zima rooting for your favorite drugged out team. As for me, I’ll be sitting in my trusty wooden chair, watching an ol’ VCR tape of the great Gary Cooper portraying Lou Gehrig in Pride of the Yankees, popping open a Steg and smoking a Lucky. That’s my opening day, that’s’ my America!!!
.
To hell with modern day baseball and to hell with all the people who read this site!! I hate you all!!! Happy Opening Day.

When Joltin Joe was wed to Marilyn, his playing days were over.

The Mean Old Man has never let the facts get in the way of a good opinion.

Mean Old Man pick on anybody but Derek Jeter. There's a guy that isn't in the spotlight except for the fact that he plays for the Yankees. He busts his ass and keeps his mouth shut unless it is absolutley necessary. I think he is one of the best in the game today.
