How Joe Morgan Gets To Do W.Series on ESPN

We should all expect Morgan to have naturally sub par diction
but,putting technical limitations aside and more importantly,he
offers no wit,little humor,no depth of analysis nor any anecdotal
"color".

He just seems to repeat the same old stock cliches and mere banalities;
e.g.,"the second time through the lineup the hitters get to know all
of the pitches...";"the pitcher has to make the adjustment when he
doesn't have his best pitches..."
He either falls back on what he's used for ten years or simply fades
from the mike out of complacency.

It is a guy like Dave Campbell,a brighter and more articulate ex-pitcher
who should be in Morgan's place but it's obvious that ESPN like so many
other social institutions has to lower standards to accomodate a black.
That's right!A mediocrity like Joe Morgan is still on the air because
he's black.Morgan knows this and that's why we're stuck with his
increasing incompetence.

Chalk up another strikeout for "affirmative action"

N.B. Ditto on that sterling home plate umpire in G.4?

Or, it could be the "fame" thing. Like, famous people get favoritism.

No need for the race card here, Adolf.

Sometimes life is just inertia. He is already there. Ratings are okay. A
change would require someone with the courage to make a decision. That
decision maker would get blamed if ratings dropped a bit during the
transition and would be gone. Sad but true in the corporate world.

Bakerras are you of Greek Decent sir?

LOL so it's the nazi thing again?
Typically inane response from an ignoramus or one in denial of the
reality that race is a dominant factor in the employment of
minorities,
especially those in public positions.
Has he ever heard of affirmative action,diversity programs,job
quotas,
tokenism et al.?
They are all forms of institutionalized discrimination existing for
the sole
benefit of blacks regardless of merit and qualification.
If we ever had a color blind and unsexist dreamworld,guys like Joe
Morgan would lose to the competition;in this case,white male or female
