If anyone is watching the USA v. Japan game

Do you think those commentators are better than Joe Morgan?

My point exactly.

I know he's not very popular...

but I actually like him…would anyone agree if I compared him to John Madden?

by mattman on Aug 22, 2008 8:50 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Morgan, too.

We’re definitely the minority here, though.

Wow.

Uh… thanks for the free baserunners?

A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.

I agree...

it seems like he’s working too quick but I haven’t seen him much

This never ends well.

Wow Gonzalez was way out…but I’ll take it

M's announcers just said he was safe.

I was looking away from the screen, so I didn’t see it, but if the M’s guys said so, they must really believe it.

I don't like Pennignton's chances on getting the ball out of the infield...

That sort of applies

to the rest of today’s lineup…just to be fair..

That was a great piece of hitting by Barton

Kendall-good, but still – I prefer to delude myself into thinking it was more Wade Boggs good.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Yep, he had to play it safe.

If he had run hard and then it did go foul, then he sure would have been in trouble.
