Joe Morgan criticism

[boots]

sure thing, dude. By the way, how's the stinky co-worker?

Don't know. I'm off for a few days and am enjoying a nice day barbecueing. Got a nice flame going, a tall long island iced T, the Shawshank Redemption on TV and just enjoying myself waiting on a few friends to celebrate Friday.

sorry to interrupt the lovefest going on here, but damn does that sound good right about now.

Not to rub it in, but it's even better than it sounds.
I have been told that I put too much tequilla in my LI iced T's. I think they might be right.

Extreme arrogance coupled with limited knowledge and intelligence is not a pretty sight.

Ding ding ding.

I swear Joe Morgan does not "believe" in statistical analysis for one specific reason: Bringing stats into his analyzing would require more work. He would prefer to just tell stories about Tony Perez and Johnny Bench, half of which probably aren't even accurate.

The grill should be supervised at all times, boots. Don't worry, the board will still be here when you get back.

The hard part was the ribs but luckily, someone was kind enough to come over earlier this morning to get that out of the way. Nothing really on now except a couple of burgers. But damn, a long island iced T on a 90-plus day is awesome.
I rented a copy of it and this is really my second time seeing it. It thought it was pretty good, especially the ending. You can't beat sticking it to the man and walking away on a nice sandy beach to live out your life in happiness. Stephen King is out****ingstanding.

So you got the pain-in-the-ass part out of the way first?

And are you sure you want to talk about "sticking it to the man"

From the last Joe Morgan thread, I knew Boots would be here soon telling us how miserable we are.

No, not everyone along here is miserable. But there are many who take this posting crap too far.

Cut him some slack... it took Fens twice as many posts to master photos.

Mushnick, today . . . I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

This is what I get for watching pro sports on mute . . .I miss gems like this:

"Joe Morgan remains relentless in providing expertly stated nonsense. Last night, during Mets-Cubs on ESPN, Luis Castillo stuck with a windblown popup, making a nice catch. But Morgan explained the play as the result of Castillo being unfamiliar with the winds in Wrigley Field because, “Castillo has played his entire career in the American League.”

But Castillo played 10 years in the NL, all with the Marlins. In fact, it was Castillo who hit the infamous fly that spectator Steve Bartman caught - before Moises Alou could - in the 2003 NLCS at Wrigley. Last season, with the Twins, was his first in the AL.

In the top of the fifth, Morgan’s partner, Jon Miller, noted that Castillo has played before in Wrigley. Morgan said nothing."

Maybe lil Joe was too busy.. umm, doing something else to listen.

If this isn't proof that Joe Morgan spends 90 percent of the telecast just talking out of his ****ing ass, I don't know what is.

I'm beginning to think that Joe Morgan is a bigger embarassment to ESPN than Michael Irvin was.

That's brutal. When Joe broadcasts a game, is there anything on the table in front of him? Notes, a media guide, past performances of players, anything?

You know what I've learned?

I've learned any thread with stoob or zeke in it is going to be pretty good. If I need a laugh, I come to SportsJournalists.com to find a thread in which stoob or zeke have posted, sit back and let the laughs roll. It's almost like a who's-on-first bit, except stoob doesn't realize what's going on.

We appreciate your good words, and have happy anal exploration day.

Just this, in case he gets hungry, or someone wants to learn more about the Reds:

Pretty presumptious that Zeke does... ;D

Another Joe chat.

He can't really be this dumb, can he?

Apparently, MLB is going to test Barry Bonds' DNA. They are taking a sample from Joe Morgan's chin.
