How many times has Joe made an ass of himself so far? I count three.

- Right before the first pitch, he said Wellemeyer doesn’t throw hard. Then Wellemeyer blew away Soriano on a 96 MPH fastball.

- Morgan discussed how Fukudome is like Ichiro because he drags his back foot, while ESPN showed footage of Fukudome not dragging his back foot.

- Morgan discussed OBP, saying that guys at the very top of the order need it because they have to have the big guys drive them in to score runs. As my roommate said, “What, the other guys don’t score runs, Joe?”

Am I missing anything?

I'm sure you are.

FJM has officially conditioned me to hate that man.

Hilarious article by HatGuy today. He actually cites Harry Potter as part of his argument. Gold.

99.9 percent of the stuff there is gold

if only they would post more often

There’s only so many brutal articles to go around.

With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch

between brutal articles and brutal broadcasts

I think they would have plenty to work with

Well

Apparently, Soriano’s “personality” is suited for lead off. Even if his OBP is atrocious. His “personality” says otherwise.

And

That tailing 2-seamer than Pujols just drilled down the line was “definitely not his fastball” and was, in fact, a slider.

as bad as

Joe Morgan is I like him more than Tim McCarver, and this team is better then Al and Dan. At least when these guys talk they are talkng about the game not the sandwich they had for lunch.

you been listening to this game?

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

by yer dog first on May 4, 2008 9:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

yes

joe is bad Al is worse

by nybirdfan on May 4, 2008 9:35 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

i disagree

but only because al is rooting for the cardinals. i might take joe over him if they are both “unbiased”

Are you listening to tonight?

Al is a homer, and is overly optimistic, but Joe is just plain stupid about baseball, not sure how he ever played.

by StLHugo on May 4, 2008 9:36 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

yeah

but I learn a lot when Al actually talks about pitching.

Forgot about that one. He had it all the way, nevermind that he overran it by two steps.

New one.

From the dugout, you can’t see in/out, but damnit you can see “heidth,” which is probably similar to height.

Soriano

Zito can only hurt you every five games… altho now that he’s in the bullpen, that old axiom might not hold true.

by bjork24 on May 4, 2008 9:27 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Oh come on

We’re a month into the season, and he missed a bunch of it with an injury. Sample size.

Does Howard suck now, too?

by mojowo11 on May 4, 2008 9:28 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

people rarely pay attention to sample size

not much annoys me more

Zito at 136

because that team is much, much worse off than SFO. At least the sCrUBS can put someone else out there.

So, according to the latest commentary

a player bats where HE wants to bat,
