WOW WORDS OF WISDOM BY TORRE aka JOE INTERVIEWS JOE

[GENO]

WATCHING SN MLB Joe Morgan interview of Joe Torre.

I loved what Torre said about players in the old days :

" We were more concerned with how we played than how we looked.

My point exactly when I speak with disdain about:


GOLD CHAINS & BLOWN SAVES

CROOKED CAP & C.C. IN CLV

DIAMOND STUDED EAR STUDS

LIP SMACKING, CHEST WACKING, V FINGER SIGNS & THE HOP.


Geno says:

Just play the damn game and perform like you been there before.

... could'nt have said it any better ...

you da man!

 

[Spock]

I dont care if they pitch naked ..

Just get the damn outs . .. .. then again even if they dont get the outs mebbe they get a job for the ads for Nike .. .

 

[GENO]

Spock that is exactly the point, you summed it all up,

GET THE RESULTS!!!!,,,,,,,,, instead they worry about Nike ads and how they look.

 

[GENO]

Thanks 49er, you obviously understand what I am talking about.

 

[PUHD]

Yes, but when these athletes are told what to do and not to do, when pissed , threaten to go into operation shutdown as did Derek Bell last spring.

Look at the pants that Manny Ramirez, and CC wear, they ought to say FUBU on the back of them they're so damn long. Dontrelle WIllis also wears his cap a little askew. I thought the whole pretense of the word UNIFORM was to be just that-Uniform.

Old school is just that....old school. Those days are gone and will probably never return. Long gone are the days that a player, like Ty cobb can jump into the stands and beat the living shit outta a fan for saying that he must have some "monkey" in his blood.

No old school ethics and true love of the game. While it's a game, it is a business, and while these fockers are being paid to play a childs game, at the end of the season, and during for that matter, you will not find them stocking shelves or flipping burgers like athletes used to have to. They make big bucks, and just like many people who don't have to work for what they have, things are taken for granted. I prefer to go to minor league games everyday of the week.
