There's a War Brewing
There's a War Brewing
in Cincinnati. On one side: the Dustyites. On the other side: common sense. Articles are being written every day celebrating the folksy wisdom of a man who thinks bases are only good when there's no one standing on them. This is exactly what happened ...

This Is Why This Site Exists
I would guess that something like ninety percent of people still get consume all of their sportswriting in the form of newspapers. (I mean, factor in old people and casual fans, right?) They wake up in the morning, pour themselves some orange juice,...

Era of Anonymity Comes to an End
So, after a few conversations with various other bloggers and like 28 minutes of low-grade soul searching, the editors of this site have decided to reveal our identities. The reasons for this are: 1. We figured whoever reads this site has a right to ...

I Just Made A Man Invent The Derogatory Term "VORPies."
It's a historic day. For years, man has waited for just the right term to use when insulting other men who love baseball numbers just a little too much. (What are they, gay for numbers? Probably.) And now, just like the wait for Shrek 3 , that wait is ...

At some point in probably like 1974 or so, comedians everywhere, in a sort of collective unconscious kind of way, all started talking about how hard bags of airline peanuts were to open. This led jokes about that subject to become something people in ...

I Have Good News and Bad News
The Good News is: JoeChats are back !!!!! The Bad News is: not really. Something has happened, you guys. Someone, I think, finally stepped in and gathered all the ESPN interns together and said: "Attention, dummies. One of you, every week, is going ...

Most Stuff Sucks
I want to point something out in the quickly-becoming-tiresome Old Media vs. Bloggers debate: most stuff sucks. All stuff. In all forms. Most books suck. Most movies suck. Most magazines suck. Most trees likely suck if you get to know them. Fish, ...

Let's Hit Rewind on Buzz Bissinger's Play Article
"Maybe you've heard -- Buzz Bissinger is in the bloggy sports news ether today. Several people sent us Buzz's piece on Kerry Wood in the New York Times magazine Play from about a year ago. I read the article from start to finish. It's artfully written, evocative, unPlaschkely poetic -- and deliberately, wrongheadedly misleading. Buzz Bissinger, such a gifted wordsmith and storyteller, weaves a..."

This is Amazing
Dan points us to this Q and A with new Pirates GM Neal Huntington. This made my brain explode. The Pirates upper management has widely ignored OBP (on base percentage) in the past. How important will OBP be in player evaluation under your leadership? ...

Welcome to the 955th post here at Fire Joe Morgan, Inc. You know, people always ask me, "Ken, why is it called 'Fire Joe Morgan?' Why not 'Fire Tim McCarver,' or 'Fire Bruce Jenkins,' or 'Help Us Save "Jericho!"'?" Well, it's simple. Yes, there are a ...

You Just Don't Say Things Like That About The Woonsocket Rocket
I was actually kinda shocked by this one. Kevin Hench has decided to take some shots at Rocco Baldelli on his " Hit List ." Baldelli has appeared in 127 of a possible 486 games the last three seasons. And — surprise! — he will begin this season ...

Zero > One
Several of you sent in this bizarro-world pearl of wisdom from my close friend Tim McCarver during today's Fox broadcast: "We had our friends at Stats, Inc. check and see whether more multi-run innings came with a lead off homer or a lead off walk. ...

The most vexing and confusing aspect of modern baseball analysis -- and the primary reason we created this site -- is the sniveling distaste for the book Moneyball . As you are all aware, Moneyball is a mathematics textbook designed to prove how ...
