Miller and Morgan OUT!

ESPN will have a new Sunday night broadcasting crew next season, replacing Hall of Fame announcer Jon Miller and Hall of Fame player Joe Morgan.
I'm not happy that Miller won't be on Sunday night baseball, although he may move to the radio side. I like Miller a lot. I remember when I first heard him calling Baltimore Orioles games on the radio and thinking, "Wow, who is that guy? He's good." I was a fan immediately. Unfortunately for Baltimore fans, owner Peter Angelos is an idiot and got rid of Miller because he was either a) too popular with fans, b) too critical of the team or c) both of the above.
While I'll miss Miller, I won't miss Joe Morgan. For someone who has been in the game as long as he has, he has the baseball knowledge of a 12-year old. The guy would just say things that made no sense or he would throw out inaccurate "facts" with conviction. He obviously did no homework and lived off the fact that he's Joe Morgan. Bottom line is Morgan was a moron in the booth and I'm glad he's gone.
