Pat Jordan Responds to My Email... With a Dick Joke

kyle, a story. i was once smoking a cigar in a bar. a woman came up to me and said, "Oh, is that cigar supposed to mean you have a big dick?" I said, "Honey, what you think my cigar means has more to do with what's going on in your head, than in mine."

p.s. someone told me conlin wrote a column about my story, so i went on line, since i live in abbeville, s.c., not nyc, and have no access to city papers, and punched in the first thing i saw mentioning my story and conlin, whom i never met, or read, which happened to be your blog. what a treat!

PJ, My point was that sort of out-of-touch writing is one (of many) reasons why more people are turning to blogs and websites for their news. While I thought your observations about the game changing were fantastic, you used those four guys to get your point across. It's clear that you went there with an agenda, and used their brush-offs and perceived lack of personality to take them down a few pegs. How can you write an in-depth piece about those guys and not mention Halladay's two no-hitters last year, or Cliff Lee's tremendous playoff performances over the last two seasons? Instead, you pointed out each of their flaws, Lee's only two less-than-stellar playoff starts, and every other fault you could find with them. Heck, you put-down Lee for having a temper and throwing at Sammy Sosa, yet champion the fact that hitters were afraid of Nolan Ryan. That's hypocrisy, my friend. Conlin, a notorious curmudgeon, agreed with you, showing just how out-of-touch he is with his readers.

You made it clear in this – and other writings – that you have a chip on your shoulder against today's "big time" stars. And your portrait of the Four Aces recklessly depicts that.

Thanks for reading our blog.
