St.LouieGail.......Thought this might interest you........
Back in the early 1930's I was a young boy sport enthusiasm...There were only 8 baseball teams in each league.........I knew the batting and pitching records of every player in both league.....This was not unusual as every young lad could do the same.....We also search the radio trying to reach far away stations...
I found that fiddling with dial, and turning the antenna I could bring in several cities stations...One of which I could listen to the now defunct St. Louis Browns....Boy they were terrible barely winning 40 games a year...At that time 154 games was the season totals...Sportsman Park was where they played...
However a little later I had the pleasure of listening to the ''Gas House games''...I remember well Dizzy and Daffey Dean, Stan the Man Musial...Now there was a team...They played every game to the hilt...Their uniforms were filthy from slides, and seldom washed...Whenever they came to New York, my Dad and I made sure to make the Polo grounds trip....I have a vivid memory of a Sundaydouble header

oops......Right hand hit send key by uncontrollable error........CONT...
a Sunday double header...Carl Hubbell and Hal Shumaker faced the Dean brothers...The double header was played in a little over 4 hours with both games ending 1-0.....
Hope its of interest and shows that we do have something in common.
I'll bet this the 1st post that had to be continued on another page...

Never thought you are a fear monger OT. Only that you'd been listening to some. Which again is why I felt you deserve better.[/quote] Ctbill...I have been around long enough to not let T.V. policies form my opinions...Frequently listen to Al Sharpton and Rachel to study different points of view as I wish you do with Bill O'Riley...I was surprised you thought that 90 years experience could be swayed by unanalyzed propaganda.....I also am from the Old school of ''You deserve little, but with hard work you can earn a lot''

Mr. Left and Mr. Right agreed that positions should be based upon facts, logic, and principles.
They further agreed that the other guy's facts, logic and principles were wrong.
Stalemate.

America has awaken...
May it now shake off the malaise of liberalism and all its guilt leanings...Our country can now pick up its destructive remains and strive forward to be become once again the 'Greatest Country' on earth...It will take time until its values will be restored, but the roadblock of unrealistic promise and its deceitful ways has been removed..........
God bless America....

[/quote] "Your retort posting reveals a very UNCOMPLICATED juvenile mind set..." [See prior page.] In fact, I am surprised at how revealing these last two posts are of one who has so much experience, but has learned .... Could you please explain your choice of the three smiley faces in your above post. However, your point is well made! You have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us!

[/quote] So tough to keep quiet through all this. I respect the hell out of you OT, but Super and St Louis have had the balls to stand up and be heard. You give zero credit to the current administration after being left with a pile of crap. Just curious if you are a Ted Cruz backer or more moderate Republican. I know if the Gaels do not live up to expectations, you will somehow blame Obama.

St Louie....Your question ''Could you please explain your choice of the three smiley faces in you above post''...Well experienced with such leading questions I suspect you have assumed some thing dubious in them and are looking for someway to impugn me....
In my years on this board I have never seen them questioned before...and I see no reason to explain their use...But I am more then ready to defend any suspected false assumptions.....

There goes that thin skin again. This entire thread is based upon an assumption - yours. Now that you are flush with the success of the G&S coalition, you can bring some facts to the table. Absent that, consider yourself self-impugned.

Goodbye St. Louie........With a scrimmage game this Saturday and the seasons lst game next Friday, my mind will be concentrated on Iona Basketball...I am sure you know I have figured out your what intent was in asking the Smiley Face question, and your failure to answer my inquiry confirms my suspicions...
Now that the Nation has soundly rejected its destructive Liberal ways and is on the RIGHT road, I can now bow out of this controversy with great satisfaction and much hope........and I am also sure many boarders will give a loud ''Its about time''...............

OT--you totally ignored reference to previous president and his glorious era. This country is in much better shape now than when Dick Cheney was running (ruining) it through 2008. Your dismissive " sour grapes" comment has become typical for your narrow-minded focus. " Destructive" liberal--huh!!! "President Cheney" and his cronies did more destruction to the economy and to the reputation of this great country than you are prepared to acknowledge. The boys are back in town. You ended with the euphemistic: God Bless America. I say God Help America. I too will turn to basketball and ignore the inane unsubstantiated views herein.
