Joe Morgan - Still Dumb

They just showed a split screen with Tex and ARod. Morgan babbled about weight shifting and front feet while showing why ARod hit one out and Tex popped up. First, it's one AB out of 600. Next, ARod is built like a NYG LB. Holy hell that boy is big.

Matsui just turned Beckett into Trachsel. Awful.

I agree that Joe Morgan is dumb, but he knows his mechanics. I hate having to defend Morgan, but you're putting me in this awkward position. That split screen actually made a perfect point to show the differences in their swing mechanics. Steroids aside, Mark Teixeira is a big boy in his own respects. When I played, I was taught to swing from my back leg like Teixeira, but I think I would have hit for a lot more power personally if I had shifted my back leg off the ground and came forward like A-Rod. I hadn't even thought about it until I had a discussion with a hitting coach a few years back about Hank Aaron's swing. Pretty interesting stuff.

Now to make myself feel better, Joe Morgan values RBI over OPS. *whew* Much better...

And as good as Josh Beckett can be, the Yanks sure had him last night. I guess when you see a guy enough times you're bound to have one of those nights.

Don't forget that Joe Morgan said CC Sabathia and Josh Beckett weren't pitching against the Red Sox and the Yankees respectively...but they are pitching against each other.

The difference? I am not 100% sure.

I half heartedly watched the Mets game today and saw them lose as expected.

Now I'm watching manuels post game and he just scratched Santana for Tuesdays game due to injury.

Why does'nt this team admit that they have mailed it in and put the single A team in for the rest of the season???

Did anyone just hear Mike talking to Joe and Evan about how they complain about doing the afternoon shifts?

I missed it but wished I had heard it. Can you recap, Loki?

Well I jumped in my car at 12:05 and they were already in the midst of the argument. Mike was claiming that Eddie and Sal have consistently told Mike that Joe and Evan complain about doing the afternoon shift. Joe stayed mum for most of the argument, but Evan was going nuts. He was saying how he loves waking up later and actually prefers doing Mike's shift. Mike asked Eddie and Sal on air if they had heard J & E complain before, and they confirmed it. It wasn't in a serious tone, but the whole thing just sounded out of place and ridiculous.

What is out of place and ridiculous is a guy like Mike making all that money and still taking more time off than Santa Claus.

Than instead of showing some appreciation for the guys that cover for him he constantly mocks them over it.

When was the last time we saw mike change his normal schedule to accomodate someone else?

That audio Loki was talking about is up on wfan.com under the audio links for Joe and Evan's show. kinda funny, kinda awkward haha. Sounds like teenagers arguing. So pathetic hearing Mike adding up how many hours he works per week and weekends in a year

Its not pathetic. Mike is the reason everyone blogs on here, the other Francesa sites, tapes the show and will tape NFLNOW. Fatty ass Francesa is the best ever.
