1. Hang down your head, Tom Foley Posted: February 07, 2007 at 02:33 PM (#2293367)Silly, he meant George Marshall's Law. Not to be confused with Murphy's Law (no relation), McLain's Law, L.A. Law, Law and Order, Above the Law, and "I am the law!"
:-)
One has to assume that he hated Mel Harder, since his name is usually tossed around as a worthy by Vets' Committee types and Feller still didn't mention him. He would be a lot better than Riggs Stephenson, that's for sure. Yikes!
Bob, there's this hip new thing going around now...it's called death.
"We don't have the leaders we had 60 years ago. That George Bush, now he could run a war."
Nuculaar weapons too! No messin' around... D*** kids, GET OFF MY LAWN!
b) Bob Feller wants Riggs Stephenson and his four seasons with 350+ at-bats in the Hall of Fame.
c) Bob Feller takes steroids.
Debunk this logic, if you dare. Can't be done!
"If your fastball isn't moving, it doesn't matter how hard you throw," he said. "But I had a good curveball, too."
What? I don't even know where to begin with all the questionable statements here.
1. Could he really throw 105 mph?
2. Wouldn't his fastball alone make him great if this were true?
3. Doesn't the concept of it not mattering how hard you throw cease to apply at this level?
4. How does his ability to throw a curveball in any way relate to the topic of whether his fastball was straight or had movement?
Nuke 'em till they glow! FWIW the guy that conducted this interview with Feller is a world-class doofus who believes that nothing good has happened in the world since about 1965; the perfect person to write this. He is virtually unreadable; I'm not sure why the paper continues to employ him.
I think that is somewhat true. It's not that they are around, it's that more of the top of the line leaders prefer the private sector where they can get paid. The "leaders" of this country generally speaking aren't as concerned with money as most of them were born into.
I'm much more confident about the first two sentences than the third though.
Apparently.
People have been saying things like this since the 1840s. Heck, Lincoln gave a speech along these lines at a Young Men's Lyceeum in Springfield. The notion that they go into the private sector for the money has been common sense at least the Gilded Age.
Curses!
I think they should make "Grumpy Old Men 3" starring Feller and Bunning. The humor potential is boundless.
Actually, he ended up predicting very well -- the late 1840s through the 50s run of presidents was pretty awful:
Taylor, Filmore (sp?), Pierce and Buchanan.
Moral: Never vote for a Pennsylvanian.
Would we think as highly of the pitcher-of-the-year award if it was known as the "Cy Slapnicka"?
Only after we nuked them.
I thought that was called Stalinism?
Oh God. Please don't give them ideas.
Only after we nuked them.
The US had over a million in Germany to initially hold down the fort as a show of force, I think.
