JOE MORGAN IS A PRETTY BAD ANNOUNCER

Besides getting just a boat load of facts wrong and adding little if no insight into the game, he has nothing of value to tell me.

Last night in the Met win, after the 8th inning Jose Reyes home run, we got this little jewel from Joe:

"You know what I like about that, he ran around the bases."

Not to point out the obvious, but um...what exactly were Jose's options there? Isn't that the rule?


How about this one from little Joe on the David Wright tag up from 3rd on a sack fly:

Alou flies out to right, Wright tags and scores, Joe suggests he might have left the base early, he says it a good 4 or 5 times then finally the replay shows that Wright did not leave early, and Joe gives us:

"His top half left quickly, but his foot stayed on the bag."

Is that possible?
