What they really lament is the invention--by Al Gore--of the Internet in the first place. Their flagging fortunes are a direct result of the Internet's arrival. But that's a different story for a different day. Today, Schilling is seen as despised for two things mostly: One, for blogging Dan Shaughnessy into irrelevance and short-circuiting his reason for being. Two, because Schilling is a George Bush guy...which The Globe certainly did not let go unmentioned.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy to see The Boston Globe mired in misery. Pink slips for the Pink Ship. Plummeting revenues and readership; lost lustre and reputation. A laughingstock is what they are now.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775107449004277179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-588225319077077412007-04-10T18:04:00.000-04:002007-04-10T18:04:00.000-04:00This could have been a big day for Shank.

When we don't ask for a Clive Rush reference, he gives it to us. When the opportunity arises to pummel us about the head with Ned Martin on the radio stories he doesn't. Very odd.<BR/><BR/>(Note: I wiki-ed Clive Rush and I found out that the man coached the Pats waaaay back in 1969! Both my father and mother were 14 years old when Mr. Rush was shocked by an ungrounded mike. Next time, Shank, why don't you make a Rod Rust reference? Let's try to stay current.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-81238127233220966062007-04-10T11:13:00.000-04:002007-04-10T11:13:00.000-04:00In the olden days, Tris Speaker played for spare c...In the olden days, Tris Speaker played for spare change and a used pair of cleats. Today, Manny makes 8 zillion dollars. <BR/><BR/>Here's something I bet Dan's readers didn't know. In 1967, players didn't make a lot of money. Today, they do.
