Joe Morgan: Voice of Reason

While Morgan made his usual amount of completely asinine statements during last night’s Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, I was almost floored by how absolutely correct this one was in regards to (as Juney calls it) "HAHGate," Alex Rodriguez’s comments rounding second in Toronto (slight paraphrase): "I think there’s too much forcus on what Alex Rodriguez does. Too much negativity. He’s treated differently. If this were someone else (pause) - say a David Eckstein - everyone would be talking about what a smart play that was."
I held my breath before he mentioned Eckstein, thinking that is only for once Morgan would utter the name I hoped, all would be forgiven. Well, some. Ok none, he’s still a moron.

lupe I am pretty sure Joe forgot his pills. His eyes weren't even glassy!
