Mushnick to Morgan: Do you know what you are talking about?

I don't know what a false story is but I know what a mistake is. I'm willing to bet that Joe made an honest mistake. And the young yahoos who know every damn thing around here except how to piss without wetting themselves are jumping for joy because its feeding time and they've got something to rally around.

 

Morgan can't get facts about the teams that are playing correct, so why wouldn't he be just as careless about his own career?

This is more than an 'honest mistake.' It's somebody trying to make everything about him, as he always does.

That said, it's a lot tougher to lie about this stuff, at least in baseball, now that there's retrosheet and sabermetricians out there.

 

Exactly.
That "story" was about as well thought-out and researched as the rest of the crap Morgan spews on air.

Talk about coasting on your playing career. He comes on air like he hasn't seen either team play all year, nor has he even glanced at the multitude of research a big outfit like the WWL has no doubt painstakingly gathered for him.

I believe it's called "envoyer par la poste"

 

Because Joe doesn't believe any of the fiddle-faddle numbers some research geek or pantywaist sabremetrician wants to throw at him, he knows how baseball ought to be played, and he knows how it was played, goddamn it. He's got the 15 World Series rings to prove it.

 

The skip on this phonograph record is getting really, really irritating to every listener in the vicinity.

 

There are ridiculous arguments made on this board every day, but I am completely baffled that anyone could possibly defend Morgan in this instance. Yes, I have messed up some details of stories before, including ones I was involved with. I have never told someone else's story as my own. Those are two different scenarios all together.

If Morgan's mind is that scrambled that he made this error, ESPN should take him off the air. When he places himself into someone else's story this blatantly, how can you not question his credibility when he tells stories about people?

 

Big deal he made a mistake. Did anyone die? Did it affect your life? If Joe Morgan's mistake did either of those things, then you have a reason to be upset. If it didn't, move on. There are other things more important.

 

Like fictional stories of ass sex and sexual harassment claims?

 

Zeke, this thread is about Joe Morgan. Not me and not my life. There were other threads about that.
Do you know what the weather is outside? Do you have any friends? Do you exercise? I'm willing to bet, judging from the time that you spend on here the answer to all three is no.
Do something positive with your life today. If trying to tear people down on an anonymous board constitutes a major portion of your day, I truly feel sorry for you.

 

Do I have any friends?

Well, I have this neighbor...
