So in order for you to be happy, you're going to need to sign some good pitchers from free agency. Right now, my 4th starter is rated 73, but he's 11-7 so far this season, so he makes me happy. If he was 7-11, I would be unhappy and would likely be asking myself the meaning of life just like you. So get some good players and you should be happy.

Last week during a game broadcast, I was talking about the importance of scoring more runs than the other team and he interrupted me with something about OPS or DICE or some statistic I've never heard of. It really got me a little upset and I let him know this during the commercial break.

I was saying before that some stories are a little too inappropriate and I couldn't tell those, simply because there are children on these boards, like HoustonGM and those two Rockies fans, but I have a couple I can share.
A few years ago, I was talking with Johnny Bench at an autograph show. We were discussing the great Reds teams that we were both a part of and I was trying to explain to him that the reason we were so consistently good was the fact that we scored more runs than the other team. Long story short, we got into an escalated argument, stepped outside, and we got into a fist fight. I know some tai chi or kung fu or something like that, so I gave him a left, and a right, and another left. We were rolling around on the ground in our suits. He landed a couple of cheap shots, but nothing too bad. We finally got over it, shook hands like gentlemen and went our separate ways, but little did he know that I snatched his wallet. I charged up a bunch of porn sites and phone sex lines on it. Well, I had an assistant that knows how to do that sort of thing do it for me. I didn't do it myself. He still thinks it was Pete Rose to this day.
Another story, well not really a funny story about a teammate, but I think ESPN has pulled a couple of fast ones on me. Twice now I was supposed to meet a woman named Emmy, but I never have. They've given me an award in her place instead, but I would still like to meet her. Is she a fan? Or is that another joke? Probably George Foster trying to get revenge on me from the time we put a laxative in his drink at a team luncheon.

Finally, I've read that male and female goats have beards, and I have met male and female fans that have beards.

The hard part about playing in New York is the intensity of the fans. Billy Wagner is an intense player himself, often calling out teammates if he feels they aren't doing their part to help the team win, and he's right. The key to the Mets turning their season around is to have the offense start scoring more runs and to have their pitching staff stop giving up so many runs. This is what Willie Randolph has to tell his team, and they need people like Billy Wagner, David Wright, and others to get the message across. Aaron Heilman needs to start pitching better as well. Is he still on the Mets? I heard he's pretty good.

Y'know, at first Joe Morgan was annoying me...but I just about bust a gut laughing at every single one of his posts on this page. Keep it up, man, it keeps getting better. :D
Oh, and Joe, how, as a world, can we cross our various ethnic, tribal and economic bounds and truly become one people? Or, are we doomed to an existence of living separate lives spent watching each other's moves from afar?
This made me burst into laughter.Quote:

Joe, back in your day players to used to have to room together for road games. Do you think this helped team chemistry?

Joe,
What do you think about New York Yankees pitcher, Chein-Ming-Wang being hurt? Will they find a replacement you think?
Why do the Mariners suck?
I'll take that one Joe; it's because they have too many lemons.Quote:

Joe,
If you were the GM of the Red Sox, would you trade John Lackey straight up for Jason Bay?

What the Red Sox need is more good hitting, because if the pitchers can prevent the other team from scoring runs but your offense can't score any themselves, well, that's going to be a really long game.
Looking at the numbers you gotta go with a guy like Jason Bay over Lackey. Lackey is only 1 for 30 in his career as a hitter, but he only has 9 strikeouts, so he makes good contact at least.
As for Jason Bay, using advanced sabermatronics, we see that he has a lifetime .280 batting average with 185 home runs and 610 RBI. These are the main offensive numbers. You really have to go with what you see on the field, and although I've never seen him play in person, I believe he used to play for the Red Sox, so this could be an advantage.
Bottom line, the Red Sox need more hitting, so I say pull the trigger on the trade for Jason Bay.
Dear joe,
do you think bonds will past hank aaron, also how do you like nick punto's chances for 3000 hits and 500 homers
Ewing6, a lot of people assume Barry Bonds did steroids, which I'm not sure if he did, but if he did, let's assume that it added 200 home runs to his total. I'm just choosing a random number here. So he will need five more seasons of 40 home runs to make up those home runs again, but looking out on the free agent market, if a guy like Jermaine Dye can't get a job, then I don't see a team giving Barry Bonds a chance. He hasn't played in a few years, so he would probably need an extra couple of weeks or so to get ready. Maybe the Red Sox, who I mentioned above, if David Ortiz doesn't start hitting soon.Quote:

These things don't always translate onto the baseball field, but it might make a team like the Twins give him another contract after he's a free agent. Then he'll get a little closer to those magic numbers.
Mr. Joe Morgan, who have you recently seen play in real life for the MLB (past year)? Also, if you've seen Brian Fuentes play, can you tell me how much he sucks?
Joe,
what are you thoughts on the bizket overlord's knowledge of baseball
Hi John, I've seen quite a few teams over the past year, but they all blend together. What I do know is that fundamentally, the best teams I saw generally scored more runs than their opponents, and in the end, those are the teams that are going to make it in the playoffs. As for Brian Fuentes, I haven't seen him pitch, but supposedly he's actually right-handed and lost a bet at the beginning of his career and was forced to pitch left-handed. You don't want to know what would have happened if he won the bet.Quote:

It's difficult to keep up with this nonsense, because every year they come up with 3 or 4 new formulas to try to leave the best of us out of the game. Don't get caught up into this trap, ewing6. Your eyes will tell you everything you need to know! Unless you start losing your sight or go blind. I don't know what to tell you in that case. I suppose you could ask somebody else what's going on.Quote:
