Sunday Night baseball is becoming quite the treat for me lately, in a terribly disgusting, disturbing, what the fuck is this guy doing with a job, sort of way.

I'm just going to start going one by one. *Note* I stopped watching this game in the 4th inning, so just imagine what kind of damage could have been done had I continued. Have at it, Joe...

(On David Wells) "That's always been his forte, throwing strikes with his fastball, curveball and change up."

DING! DING! DING! Joe's hit another one on the head. You're absolutely right, Joe. The key to the success of EVERY MOTHER HUMPING (when you guys think of a better substitution for Mother F******, let me know) BIG LEAGUE PITCHER! Being able to throw 3 pitches for strikes! That's Emmy award winning analysis. I give up.

"Fundamentals are always in play in baseball."

Any takers on this one? I'm stumped...

Lastings Milledge gets caught in rundown between 3rd and home: "He probably would have been better off stopping at 3rd."

Why yes, Joe. Yes he would have. You are on fire tonight. And even when you state the obvious, you still manage to bewilder me. He not probably would have been better off. He would have been better off, because the clear alternative: he's out.

"Shawn Hillenbrand...(Joe stumbles for words)...Shawn Hillenbrand (makes a comment about something)... Shawn Hillenbrand..."

(man taps Joe on shoulder)... Joe continueS: "Excuse me... Shea Hillenbrand."

Ok so this really happened... Joe said "Shawn" instead of "Shea" a good 4-5 times in a matter of about two minutes before he was notified that his name was in fact, Shea. Sheepishly, he clears his throat and says "Shea", as to somehow play it off like a simple bug in his throat created the "awn" at the end of his name. By the way, Shea's been in the league since 2001, and I think Joe just now heard of him.

"I really hope Ricky stays retired, because if he plays that will put his HOF induction off another 5 years. Right now he's eligible in 2009 but if he plays at the end of this year it will start over."

Ok, for once in all the times I've attacked your stupidity, this is going to be the first shot I take at your character. Joe, for some guys, its not about bragging about being in the HOF or pretending they know shit (cough insert Joe Morgan's face here cough). Some guys just really love to play the game, and want to play it as long as possible. If 74 year old Ricky Henderson wants to go out and try to steal a few more bases, more power to him. You really are an ignorant arrogant ass son of a bitch.

Also, thanks to BoSox34 who wrote in with this taste of heaven:

"Pierre and Furcal have had no trouble getting on base, its the Dodger's driving them in thats been the problem."

Granted, the Dodgers aren't the best hitting team in the league but...

Juan Pierre-.323 OBP
Rafeal Furcal-.345 OBP

I'd say they're having at least a little trouble getting on base.

Keep the Morganomics coming guys. Together, we can change the... errr... survive this shit together.
