Like many of you, my heart sank last week when I learned that Fire Joe Morgan announced they were hanging up their purple spikes after, as they put it, "21 years, and almost 40 million posts." Fire...

... the way we think and talk about the sports they cover. Included in this esteemed group is Fire Joe Morgan . Driven by a love for baseball and a hatred of insipid sportswriting, FJM pioneered the brazen disrespect for God awful commentary that is now so popular online. But as many of you may have heard, FJM is closing up shop . I don’t take the time to criticize print journalists very often,...

We gather here today to mourn the end of a snarky era, as Ken Tremendous, dak, and Junior have decided to call it a blog, and have closed up shop on their peerless mainstream media-evisceration site, Fire Joe Morgan. For over three years, FJM was the number one leader in pointing out much of [...]

On the heels of the previous post, a sadder baseball post: the guys at Fire Joe Morgan have decided to hang it up . In a world full of internet snark and well-reasoned thinking confronting bad journalism, the guys at FJM were a beacon of reason and snark. In what is probably a testament to the shallowness and emptiness of my life and/or my efforts to not write the dissertation, I often looked...

End of an Era: Moment of silence for the end of Fire Joe Morgan. Here’s hoping they return at some point - they’re good bloggers, and in our limited e-mail dealings with them, good people.

The authors of Fire Joe Morgan (who also are script writers for television) announced yesterday that they are calling it quits on their highly successful blog. Over the past few years Ken Tremendous, Dak, and Junior have done a fantastic job of exposing and criticizing bad sports journalism in a highly entertaining fashion. Some of the Joe chats were hysterical and I'll never forget the legendary...

Today is a sad day indeed: Fire Joe Morgan calls it quits Being a statistically minded baseball fan and a lover of trouncing idiocy in others, FJM was my favorite site to read. I really and truly have never laughed as hard as I did at their witty and intelligent barbs aimed at the idiocy that permeates the majority of baseball analysis. It's a shame to see them go, but I want to enshrine their...

They're really hanging it up : After 21 years, and almost 40 million posts (we'll have to check those numbers, but it's something like that), we have decided to bring FJM to an end. Although we have not lost our borderline-sociopathic joy for meticulously criticizing bad sports journalism, the realities of our professional and personal lives make FJM a time/work luxury we can no longer afford. We started...

Rumors are going around that Rick Sutcliffe might be replacing Joe Morgan for the Sunday Night Baseball gig. We're obviously big fans of Rick Sutcliffe , and pairing the Red Baron with Jon Miller would make for good times Sunday Night. At the same time though, I personally enjoy Joe Morgan rambling on and on crazily about how he could kick Billy Beane's ass and how Pete Rose is the best...
