Hideaway Lights Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) I want to personally take my hat off to Joe Morgan, prognosticator of prognosticator, who said kicking off the season that he felt that Detroit and Cleveland had the talent to make it a tough three-way race with Minnesota all season. Sure enough, Cleveland proved tonight that they definitely belong in the picture. They hung right with the twins and then beat them in the ninth. W L GB Minnesota 15 11 - Detroit 12 14 3 Cleveland 11 15 4 Mr. Morgan didn't go as far to mention what place the three teams would be fighting it out for, but because he was so prescient I'm going to go ahead and just assume he meant second place. Of course he didn't bother mentioning the White Sox in that particular broadcast, despite the fact that very team was facing Minnesota that very night....although I'm sure that was just a mental slip. Lord knows he had too much to think about that night, such as why Craig Biggio or any other second baseman doesn't belong in the hall of fame, and what the Giants and Padres were up to while he was being bothered to be in the midwest for a couple of hours. Anyway, kudos to Joe for the sharp analysis. Look for this race to heat up as the season moves along!

CWSGuy406 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Same guy who said the Athletics lost in the playoffs because they didn't bunt enough. I can stand Jon Miller, but Morgan -- yuck. IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for this race to heat up as the season moves along! if you assholes would actually pay attention and quit criticizing EVERYONE who either 1.) critcizes the white sox or 2.) fails to mention the white sox, then you would know that joe morgan has gone on record a few times since saying he didnt think the white sox would be a factor, but after seeing them he thinks tehy are for real noting how they play the game the right way and are playing with great defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
