 Why wasn't Joe Morgan at the All-Star Game last night?
Why wasn't Joe Morgan at the All-Star Game last night?
Two words. Ryne Sandberg. Once again, Morgan's Ryne-itis kicked in and Joe wouldn't share the stage with Sandberg during the All-Star pre-game festivities.

 A Few Notes an Hour Into the HR Derby
A Few Notes an Hour Into the HR Derby
Just got a text from Iceman Eddie camped out in the right field awning at the Stadium: "Chutley hit the ball harder than anyone so far bit unlucky, just jacked over my head". And if I am leading with that, you can imagine I find the first 4 hitters rather unremarkable. However, it does appear that Laverne swallowed Shirley... And Ariel was not impressed with Joe Morgan's choice of duds.

Joe Morgan Wrestles With Logic, Facts
Joe Morgan thinks the Cubs have too many All Stars. He's right, but his logic - as always - is deeply flawed.

Morgan: All-Star game has changed for the worse
Joe Morgan looks at what's happened to the All-Star game, and he doesn't like what he sees. The Hall of Fame second baseman remembers when the top stars played all nine innings, when the All-Stars drew huge ratings. Not anymore.

In Which I Agree With Joe Morgan
Joe Morgan takes more flack than most broadcasters. My opinion is that most of it is well-earned. But I couldn’t agree more with what he said about the All-Star Game.

 THT Live:Joe covers Joe
THT Live:Joe covers Joe
Joe Posnanski talks about Joe Morgan and the latest sabermetric outrage against him (not to mention Jon Miller's weird pronunciation of OPS). Joe Morgan has never annoyed me the way he annoys a lot of other baseball analytic types, and Joe P. seems to agree with me. What's more, he explains why in a way I never could. This is why his blog, and book, are must reading.
