Guess who's been a crappy blogger since he got to college? Time to do better. I think I'll do better once playoffs start.
So here's some quick thoughts on baseball's happenings of late.
First, with Bobby Valentine returning to the USA, I'm going to rehash one of my favorite opinions: Bobby Valentine should be the manager of the Mets. He's a white Ozzie Guillen. He fits perfectly for them. He gives a team without any character some character. He should have never been fired for Steve Phillips' mistakes. The Wilpons love him, his players loved him, and he was a winner. Fire Jerry Manuel if, and only if, Bobby Valentine returns.
Second, it's about time Eric Wedge got fired. Seriously, that team's underachieved for the last 5 years.
Third, the awards this year are easy. Pujols and Mauer should be MVP, Lincecum and Greinke are the Cy Youngs. Apologies to Felix Hernandez, Justin Verlander, and Prince Fielder.
Fourth, I'm not making playoff predictions right now. I want to see the matchups, I don't see clear-cut favorites that will beat whomever they play.

Thoughts on how dumb Joe Morgan is
I'm currently watching the Mets play the Braves in Atlanta on ESPN.
It's the first inning, there's a runner on 3rd, one out, and Danny Murphy is at the plate.
He hits a sharp, hard liner, but it's right back at Javier Vazquez and he makes a nice grab for an out.
Joe Morgan then chastises him for not hitting a grounder to the right side, and that "the only way that run doesn't score is if you hit it back to the pitcher."
This is stupid for two reasons:
1.) There's lot's of ways he doesn't score -- pop up, strikeout, grounder to third, hard grounder to short, soft liner, shallow pop fly or a line-out to anyone.
2.) He just suggested not hitting the ball square, and not to go with the pitch.
Joe Morgan's an idiot, in the booth he makes Steve Phillips look smart. And we know for a fact Steve Phillips is dumb because of the 2nd Mets team he assembled post- Robin Ventura/Todd Zeile/Jay Payton etc.
