Well, here's what he wrote in a June 19 column:
On offense, the Mariners are getting hits in clutch situations while featuring the hit-and-run, the sacrifice bunt and the sacrifice fly. This is in contrast to the Toronto Blue Jays, who rely mainly on home runs.
Now, this was debatable, and probably wrong, since Toronto is only third in the league in home runs. So in a June 20 chat on ESPN.com, a reader called him on it:
Stevie Ridzik (D.C.): Dig your work Joe...But one bone to pick, how can you say "the Blue Jays rely mainly on home runs." when they lead the league in BA-SLG-OBP-OPS-RUNS-RBI and are only 3rd in taters?
Joe Morgan: Listen to what I say and do not put somebody else's words in my mouth. I said they have a chance of winning because they have a great offense. I'm not sure where you got that. It seems that people want to put words in my mouth.
You mean, like the guy who ghostwrites his columns, which Morgan himself isn't reading?
