O Happy Day!

Shulman would be perfect, so I assume ESPN'll overlook him in favor of somebody less perfect.

Fun treatment from Bronx Banter's Emma Span here: Joe Morgan as Hans Gruber.

... after that Joe Morgan wasn�t just another announcer I ignored or rolled my eyes at; he was the face of the enemy. Not in a personal sense; of course I have nothing against Joe Morgan, as a person, and wish him a long and happy life. But he had taken a stand against learning, or reading, or even having a conversation about new ideas, and he had done it in a particularly boneheaded way. He came to symbolize a way of thinking that drives me, and � judging by the comments here all season, every season � many of you right up the wall. But now that Morgan�s gotten the hook, who embodies what I want to argue against? Surely no one with as broad and loud a platform, so much money and influence, no one who will make it so much fun to play the righteous underdog. So yes, I think in a perverse way, I�m really going to miss Joe Morgan.

That's a good booth. Surprised that ESPN didn't muck it up.

Nomo.

Really.

Think we get any on-air '99 Mets war stories out of the color guys?
