I know I’m going to sound like the guy who stands on his front porch and yells at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn, but I’m sick and tired of watching the standards in every aspect of life disappear.

When I was growing up, every team in the major leagues had a four-man starting pitcher rotation, so every pitcher took the mound every fourth day. Today, teams go with five-man rotations, so every pitcher gets an extra day's rest.
