Who other than Wilbur Wood - a knucklballer - has started both games of a doubleheader since 1960? <br /><br />The name of the game is money and with the amount invested in these guys, management has dictated that they have a pitch count, days of rest, etc. <br /><br />You going off on the players as soft is the most illogical piece of crap I have seen in a long time. If this is typical of your blog, you won't be doing it long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134378665307917746.post-3931537282172260422011-10-01T23:26:26.527-07:002011-10-01T23:26:26.527-07:00Hate?

Other than that, I just call em like I see em. Am I an idiot? Probably, but don't believe me. Contact sports editor Jeff Kuehn. He'll confirm it.

But why all the hate for a good message, geisha girls, and grape time. Like you, I do miss the good old days. Specially when pitchers had to bat ! Double-Headers rocked ! and you could get into Tiger stadium after the start of the seventh inning for free. I guess back in the day when smoking, drinking, and whatever was going on cortisone was the pitchers main drug of choice. Maybe Leyland will remember the good old days and let Verlander pitch on short rest. Maybe that would change your thoughts on how valuable pitchers are. Maybe they have some cortisone in the club-house. Maybe KISS will get into the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Maybe I will just sit back and think of the good old days with good old NO 7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
