I know everything and anything you have to say is wrong.

OK what did the fool say on SNB this week?

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

Not trolling, just venting. Every time I turn on SNB he's correcting, or setting somebody straight about how something is.

Keep in mind that this was after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004.

Heath (Dyersville, IA): Mr. Morgan, Any thoughts on this weekend's historical matchup between the Red Sox and Cubs?

<!-- displayed mode -->Joe Morgan: I don't believe in all that historical stuff. I wasn't around when it first started ; ) but I do think it will be great for baseball fans and great to see the teams. I'm not so sure about the history. I hate to be that way.. but 1918 has no bearing for me. But I'm sure it does for the two cities.

Mitch Cumstein (Chicago, IL): Fred Mcgriffs career numbers destroy Tony Perez's numbers, yet Mcgriff is not considered to be a viable HOF candidate. Mcgriff played a majority of his career in a pitcher's era. Why is Tony Perez in the HOF and Mcgriff is not even considered?

Joe Morgan: Well, first of all I don't like to compare across eras. I'm trying to figure out where the pitchers era is for McGriff. Perez played in a pitchers ear. But it's not just about numbers, it's about consistency and championships. I'm a big McGriff fan and think he's a great player. But if I had to choose between the two, obviously for selfish reasons, I would pick Perez. It's a difficult question because it's just so hard to compare numbers across eras. A great example .. Mays is the best player I saw. I think his average was around 25-30 HRs and over 100 RBI .. a couple years ago there were 30 OFs with better numbers than Mays. None of them were a better player than Mays.

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

Sometimes I wonder if Morgan even makes notes before his chat sessions. It's like he just makes stuff up as he goes along.

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

Here's a couple more gems.

"And all I'm telling you," Morgan says to me as we approach the broadcast booth, sounding very much like an assembly worker arguing against his own obsolescence, "is that a computer can't tell you what I know about The Game."

"Anytime you're trying to make statistics tell you who's gonna win the game, that's a bunch of geeks trying to play video games."

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

I don't think this is trolling at all. I think the op is right on the money. I hate Joe Morgan. He is a pompous ***.

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

You know who i'd like to see as the color man on SNB?

Steve Philips.

Ok, he's not that much better but at least he's more plugged into the game right now and he doesn't seem to be such a stubborn mule about things.

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

I would be on board with that move, he's a lot more professional than most of the espn ***hats at least.

I know a lot of people don't like Jon Miller either, but I really do. Joe just seems to drag him down though.

Re: Hi, I'm Joe Morgan...

One of the best things to happen on Baseball Tonight was earlier in the year when they were having fans send in emails as to who they thought was the best closer in the league.

Some red sox fan sent in his opinion saying he thought Papelbon was the best, because his peripherals were the best in baseball etc.

Jon Kreuk's head exploded. Not understanding what the guy meant buy peripherals, and concluding why he thought X player was better "He's got great stuff".

Ladies and gentlemen, Jon Kreuk.
