I'm going to blog all of the dumb quotes on MLB's Opening Night from Joe Morgan. Followed by a comment from me:
5:15: "Ortiz had a good season. He just didn't have the walkoffs and late-inning heroics that he had become known for." -Really? What about hitting below the Mendoza line for the first two months of the season. Isn't that what the issue was?
5:20: "I don't know if people realize... this is Koufax and Marichal. These are two of the best pitchers of their era." -Close, but no cigar. Sabathia might be, but Beckett isn't a surefire hall of famer.
5:29: "What is it 280 down the line?" -Come on. Jon just said 302 feet. Do you need him to correct you again? Apparently.
5:30: "Do they call it Pesky's pole?" -Joh says "They do, that's why I called it that."
5:55: Jon: "Curtis Granderson hitting that first home run in his first at bat of the season."
Joe: "That's better than starting 0 for ten before you get your first hit."
-No Comment
Just so you know, 551 consecutive sellouts. Last non-sellout was May 1 2003.
7:20: Jon: "What was your preferred nickname?"
Joe: "The Sweet pea."
-What I like about this, is that it's THE sweet pea
7:22: Orel: "One of the worst things you can tell a pitcher is to 'stay back.' Well, 'stay back' is fine, but stay back with rhythm and motion."
I think it's worth mentioning that this is a great game.
8:47: Orel: "A-Rod, leading off the next inning, would have loved to have had the chance to tie it up. but now that they've allowed that run, he'll just have to get on base." -That's right Orel, he'd rather it be a one-run than a two-run game.
