EDIT: Hey, same post for me and Snayke! I will say that I think you missed one there.

How did you understand what he meant when asked what the Astros should do about Brad Lidge and his response was: "the closer is very important...Roy Oswalt is a good pitcher"?skmsw wrote:No one is harder on Joe Morgan than I am. It's always been beyond me that a player who is such a textbook case of the value of certain skills, can be so oblivious to the value of those very skills.
that said, I didn't disagree with any of his remarks in this chat. I even understood what he meant about "not losing games you've won" and not being able to rank the ten best outfielders ever.
Haltz, which one did I miss?

A free chitlin and mayonnaise sandwich to whoever gets that reference.
You can keep the sandwich though -- ig.

That sentence did throw me for a loop. I wonder if old Joe suffers from Alzheimer's. Just kinda forgets where he is and what he's doing from time to time.GatewaySnayke wrote:How did you understand what he meant when asked what the Astros should do about Brad Lidge and his response was: "the closer is very important...Roy Oswalt is a good pitcher"?skmsw wrote:No one is harder on Joe Morgan than I am.

I thought it was amazing that he chose the same question again, then refused to answer it, um ... again.GatewaySnayke wrote:Haltz, which one did I miss?
With Lidge being removed as closer...do you think the Astros trade him, keep him in a setup role, or does he earn his spot as closer with the Astros?
Joe Morgan
It's difficult because he's tried to get back on track ever since Pujols hit that home run in the playoffs. It has to be a mental thing and he says he's tougher than anyone else out there.
