FIRE JOE MORGAN

Where Bad Sports Journalism Came To Die

FJM has gone dark for the foreseeable future. Sorry folks. We may post once in a while, but it's pretty much over. You can still e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach.

The Essence of What Is Wrong with the Way That Awards are Given Out In Major League Baseball; and Also, the Essence of What is Wrong-Headed About Joe

When asked by Karl R. if he thought that John Lackey should be considered the frontrunner for the Cy Young this year, Joe said yes, because, "his team is playing well, and he's 'the man.'"

Emphasis mine. Irrelevancy his.

Can someone explain why the team's performance on the 80% of days Lackey does not pitch should affect whether he gets the award for best pitcher?

Also, please read Junior's attack on Eric Wilbur below. It's way better than this piddling little post. I'm just in a bad mood because it turns out Yakov had no Labor Day Weekend shows scheduled. I was all set to see the 9:30 and the 3:00, and instead I get nothing. What a country.
