Joe Morgan, in Sunday night's Mets-Cards opener, seemed eager to remind us that calmly stated, avuncular nonsense is still nonsense. Of Joe Smith, the Mets' 23-year-old reliever who was born and raised in Cincinnati, Morgan said, "He told me he grew up watching The Big Red Machine." If that was the case, Morgan should have straightened the kid out. The Big Red Machine, teams on which Morgan starred, played from 1972 through 1976. Smith was born in 1984.
At least credit Mushnick if you're going to directly quote him. I love that guy.

That might be even better than my idea, which was to say only one word: fuck.
Or maybe a better solution would be to suggest that a Denial of Service attack on ESPN for a few days could maybe send a message.
I'm sure that those leather fiends at Deadspin will handle it. Â They are the ones that called Cowherd out. Â Well, I also remember a FJM entry about Cowherd. Â
EDIT: And they think they'll handle it, too.
QuoteCowherd didn't know what he got himself into...you do not mess with Deadspin/sports blogs in general. If Deadspin's community can take down a giant like Paypal, then taking down a giant douchenozzlelike Cowherd is clearly attainable.

Brent S. (fjm): what are your thoughts on josh hamiltons comeback story?
Joe Morgan: I think it's great that a guy can straighten his life out and try to move forward. I'm not sure baseball is the right place for that. My first thought is that he's been out of the game for three years, due to substance abuse and I worry because there were so many other players in the minor leagues at the time trying to make the big leagues and doing all the right things and he has jumped over them. No matter what we say, he's taken someone's place who was trying to get to the big leagues. I always pull for guys trying to get their lives straight, but playing in the big leagues is a privilege, not a right. As happy as I am for him, I feel bad for some player that is in the minors and doing all the right things and not get a chance in the big leagues.
Joe Morgan: All that said, let's hope that he can keep his life together this time.
Joe Morgan: Baseball has had some disappointments from players in the past that its given several chances to and it hasn't panned. Maybe he should have started in AAA to prove he deserved to be in the big leagues.
"Darius(Minneapolis): Joe, Wondering if there is a player of today who reminds you of yourself as a ballplayer
Joe Morgan: As I just pointed out, the game is different now. We're more about statistics now than anything else. Instead of saying someone reminds me of myself, I'll choose someone that I like to watch. Among the players that I love to watch at second base is Robinson Cano. But there are a lot of really good players out there in the game. "
Jon (RI): What do you think was the greatest team of all time?
Joe Morgan: I put a lot of thought into it. But I'm prejudiced. I think the 76 Reds were the best team ever. It's hard because I didn't see the 27 Yankees. But the Reds are the greatest team I ever saw. Not just because I was on the team, but they did everything right. People will say that our pitchers weren't that good, but if you look at our ERA, it is better than when the Yankees were winning their championships.

"Hey, Jon. Let's just forget the fact that the 27 Yankees won 110 games to the '76 Reds' 102 games. I didn't see them so I don't know if they were good...but our ERA was better so I think it's safe to say that the Reds were the best team ever."
It's safe to say that Miller Huggins' 22 games each vs. the Philadelphia A's, Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians were nothing next to Sparky Anderson's 18 games each versus the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants, not to mention the 12 games each against stalwarts like the Mets, Cubs, and Expos.
But those Reds teams did **everything right**. This is a trait that can't be compensated for or misunderstimated. And when you get everybody doing everything right all the time, you're more deserving of things, you see. If the '27 Yanks were so pristine at what they were doing, they'd have hired somebody to find a way to video record definitely a few more games so we could see if they were doing everything right or not.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a glass of milk and pray before I fold my clothes.

It's not surprising that Morgan doesn't understand that Hamilton can't play in the minors for the Reds this year since he was picked in the rule V draft. Clean living advocate, Joe Morgan.

Do you think Joe has a similar stance on Neifi Perez keeping a more deserving player from making the bigs?
Interesting that the guy shouldn't get a chance because he's had brushes with the law but Pete Rose, who bet on games, is fine. Truth is talent (and big boobs) always, always, always gets more leeway than no talent (or small boobs). As Bart Simpson would say, "good ole' rock".

Or maybe a better solution would be to suggest that a Denial of Service attack on ESPN for a few days could maybe send a message.
TJ, the more I'm thinking about this, the more pissed I'm getting. I'm encouraging HJE readers to completely boycott all things ESPN. If Cowherd doesn't want to take blogs seriously and thinks he can just f@#$ around with them, I think bloggers should show him what a powerful community we can be. We can be powerful, right?
In what way?
Together as one, the HJE readers could probably lift a compact car their fat asses out from in front of their computers.
IRL'd.
So, what are you saying? That I'm fat?
You read HJE? I look forward to the day when meet on the shoutbox, my friend. 'Til that day...
And I'm not fat, either. I am very sincere, though. Or mad. It depends on how you look at it, I guess.

Does anyone else find it hypocritical that they're up in arms about this douchebag blatantly ripping off a blog's material, so they create a blog and blatantly rip off the American Airlines logo to be their own. Or was that ironical use--as opposed to fair use, I guess--intended to be hypocritical, thereby not making it hypocritical at all?

how soon until he's talking about pudding?
So now we have to listen to Joe Morgan and Steve Phillips argue the whole game? I'm not sure what I liked better - but I know that I hate all of it. What kind of a weak sister is Phillips to get owned by Joe Fucking Morgan in every argument?
This is a sad state of affairs.

DPD. I muted Jon'n'Joe 3 innings ago, thanks to freebaseballradio.com (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=5778.msg174195#msg174195).
Gay-thright joe calls him.
The showstopper was when Joe announced that the greatest thing about Prince's long, loud out was the fact that all the runners tagged up. Really? I thought I saw a dude track a ball to the fence, find the barrier and then time his leap to perfection to make a catch we'll be seeing on highlight reels until kingdom come. But those runners tagging up, that was incredible.
Suppan can't find the strike zone, is walking in runs and Joe can't figure out why Fuku taking all the way on a 3-1 count.
One of he only reasons I watched the game last night on ESPN was that I wanted to see if Pinella was going to go off on Phillips for the idiotic comments he made about the handling of Fukudome last year. Hell, I was a little surprised that Pinella even did the dugout interview and didn't offer up Trammel or Rothschild to do it. http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/03/02/lou-piniella-does-not-like-steve-phillips/ (http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2009/03/02/lou-piniella-does-not-like-steve-phillips/)
What a letdown. I figured Pinella was going to be so amped up from the bullpen shitting the bed the entire weekend, he would have told Phillips on the air to suck a mile of cock and balls.
Was I the only one who was mystified by Jon Miller, Steve Phillips and Joe Morgan trying to explain OPS? None were really sold on the stat. Morgan thinks the stat could be misleading because you could have "unbalanced" OPS's (i.e., guys who get on base all the time, but really suck because they don't have that kind of power or guys who hit a lot of extra base hits but suck because they don't have the world's best OBA).
But I think the final analysis from Joe Morgan was that it was a good stat because the best player in the NL led the league in OPS, so therefore it "validates" the stat. I can't wait until he gets to wrap his head around GRIT one day.
You guys pay waaayyy too much attention to the announcers.

ESPN was my only HD feed last night. I don't really mind Phillips as I kind of drown him out, but Morgan's pompousness is just so damn ridiculous that you just want to jump through your TV box machine and strangle him until his brain matter oozes from his ears. Good Gord, he really is worthless.

And that the only thing Fielder cared about following that catch was making sure the baserunners tagged up.. awesome.

Not only that - but how many times did he mention 100 RBI like it was the real hallmark of a great player? After Reed's catch he said something like if Prince gets stuck on 96 RBI to end the season he won't be so happy.
Huh?

Morgan actually has a point, since OBP is more valuable than SLG, although if a guy has a 1.000 OPS, it doesn't matter how it's divided out, he's good. Of course, this problem has already been addressed with better stats like EQA, which Morgan would know if he ever did any research for his job. Even better, EQA is weighted exactly like batting average, so it makes sense to any baseball fan. Even ones as dumb as Joe Morgan.

Morgan thinks the stat could be misleading because you could have "unbalanced" OPS's (i.e., guys who get on base all the time, but really suck because they don't have that kind of power or guys who hit a lot of extra base hits but suck because they don't have the world's best OBA).
Morgan actually has a point, since OBP is more valuable than SLG, although if a guy has a 1.000 OPS, it doesn't matter how it's divided out, he's good. Of course, this problem has already been addressed with better stats like EQA, which Morgan would know if he ever did any research for his job. Even better, EQA is weighted exactly like batting average, so it makes sense to any baseball fan. Even ones as dumb as Joe Morgan.
But Morgan's problem was mainly with singles hitters (and guys who walk a lot) getting inflated OPS.

Gotcha. I tried to give Joe a little credit and even that was wrong. Never again.
I am sure the reason ESPN added Steve Phillips to the booth was to bring in someone who sounded dumber than Morgan. How that guy had a job as GM is amazing to me.
I had the TV muted and listened to Bub Uecker on teh internets.

But I think the final analysis from Joe Morgan was that it was a good stat because the best player in the NL led the league in OPS, so therefore it "validates" the stat. I can't wait until he gets to wrap his head around GRIT one day.
Not only that - but how many times did he mention 100 RBI like it was the real hallmark of a great player? After Reed's catch he said something like if Prince gets stuck on 96 RBI to end the season he won't be so happy.
Huh?
RBI's for Prince if Johnson doesn't make the catch = 4
RBI's for Prince since Johnson made a sploogetastic catch = 1
So apparently Joe thinks he'd be happy with 99 RBI then. Math is not your friend Joe. God I fucking hate him with the white hot fire of a thousand suns.
Quote from: ~Apex on April 12, 2009, 11:53:39 PM
The showstopper was when Joe announced that the greatest thing about Prince's long, loud out was the fact that all the runners tagged up. Really? I thought I saw a dude track a ball to the fence, find the barrier and then time his leap to perfection to make a catch we'll be seeing on highlight reels until kingdom come. But those runners tagging up, that was incredible.
Johnson's catch was only the THIRD most amazing part of that play.
1. The runners tagging up.
2. Prince Fielder tipping his helmet to Reed Johnson.
3. Johnson's catch.

Tagging up is one of the highlights of any baseball game. That's why I go to the ballpark. Got to see those runners tagging up. Can't get enough of that. Hoo boy. Did you see that guy tag up? Amazing. Can I see the replay?
Arguably the GREATEST photo in history.

The first comment on that article:
QuoteThe Sac Fly...The most unselfish play in baseball, To me it is one of the most underated stats in all of sports...In any other sports is there one single play in which you get a positive credit on your stats by giving yourself up? Its one of the main reasons I have Sac Flys worth more than homeruns in most of my leagues

At least her story checks out - from an earlier interview:

When I was with the Reds Sparky Anderson used to drink a root beer after every win. And we won so many games that he said he wouldn't have enough root beer at the end of the season to carry us through the playoffs. So I went out after the game one night and got a keg of root beer from a bar down the street from Cinergy Field. At that time they called it Riverfront because it's right next to the Ohio River. Or it used to be. It's been torn down now and the have the Great American Ball Park there. Anyway, I got a whole keg of rootbeer and brought it into Sparky's office and he said it would be better if he had some ice cream to go with it. Well, I couldn't get that ice cream to stay cold in there because that was in the days before refridgeration. So we had one of the clubhouse boys go and get some ice cream for Sparky after wins and he liked that. One day I walked into his office and he was spraying whip cream all over some young gal and I asked him if he needed any rootbeer with that. He told me to get the hell out of there and that's exactly what I did. Sparky and I had a lot of good times like that in those days. We were always spraying some young gal with something white and creamy. It was a pastime of ours and I never forgot it. Steve knows what I'm talking about. I'm sure.

Not that Orel's great but when he's talking, neither Morgan or Miller are and those gaps are priceless for the sake of my eardrums. Hersheiser even asked Morgan to clarify a few things last night, something Miller is either afraid or too oblvious to do whenever Joe starts on his incoherent rants.
Is Hersheiser staying with that group full time or was this a one-time deal? That broadcast went from F-minus to D-minus in my opinion. Not completely unlistenable but woefullly unentertaining. It's a start.

Having heard Orel without Morgan and Miller says more about how awful those two are than how inept Orel is. I mean Orel is just braindead. It's like he'd never seen baseball before he became an announcer. I don't know what my point is - but Dan Schulman could probably get away with murder if he really wanted to.
I really doubt if Schulman could get away with an actual murder. But if he offed two of the three chuggers in last night's booth, it would be worth losing him to a lengthy prison sentance with regard to improving ESPN's baseball coverage.

I really doubt if Schulman could get away with an actual murder. But if he offed two of the three chuggers in last night's booth, it would be worth losing him to a lengthy prison sentance with regard to improving ESPN's baseball coverage.
In the last 15 years, ESPN has never failed when given the opportunity to make something worse.

50% better than it is now....

QuoteJon Miller and Joe Morgan's 21-year run on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" is over.
Morgan's contract is expiring and he will not be renewed. Miller's contract is also expiring though he may remain at ESPN working the "Sunday Night Baseball" series and postseason baseball for ESPN Radio.
"Jon and Joe have contributed greatly to the success of 'Sunday Night Baseball' for the past 21 seasons," ESPN executive vice president Norby Williamson said in a statement Monday. "Over the last two decades, Joe went from Hall of Fame player to one of his sport's top analysts and Jon's Hall of Fame voice and tremendous knowledge of the game have connected with baseball fans everywhere. We owe them our deepest thanks for an outstanding body of work."
Miller, the play-by-play voice, received the Baseball Hall of Fame's 2010 Ford C. Frick Award. Morgan, the color commentator, was a two-time National League MVP with the Cincinnati Reds. The second baseman was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1990.
