Bound to Happen

Fire Joe Morgan is now defunct. Alas.

It was only a matter of time after ESPN announced a few weeks ago that it would likely move Morgan off the featured telecasts due to his, how shall we put this?, complete lack of understanding or even a willingness to learn of the rules, traditions, or facts of the game of baseball. It never stops being incredible: one of the greatest baseball players ever, played for 20 years, saw some of the greatest events in baseball history, and has no clue what he was doing and doesn't think about it even now.

The site will stay up, but the guys who created it apparently have real jobs to do and can't keep up the daily grind of forehead-slapping that is sports journalism criticism.

Of course, Joe Morgan still has a job as a baseball analyst. There is no God.
