I’m currently in the library (not avoiding Joe Morgan, but because it’s 100 degrees outside and my apartment isn’t air conditioned). There are a number of hard-working college students around, as well as some older ladies intently reading trashy magazines between naps. As it’s a highlight of my week (in addition to illegally downloading Deadwood, thrashing my brother at tennis, and withstanding verbal assaults from ex-students), I’m reading through firejoemorgan.blogspot.com’s analysis of today’s JoeChat. The following lines would have made milk come out my nose if I was drinking milk. As it was, the industrious students and napping ladies now have a new library-nemesis.

Barry ((Providence,RI)): How does Abreu’s aquisition effect Sheffield’s chance of getting the option picked up?

KT: Excellent question. So good, in fact, that I would like to ask Joe to answer it by spontaneously writing a free-verse slam poem, entitled, “It Doesn’t Look Good.”

Joe Morgan: It doesn’t look good. Obviously, I don’t know what’s in their minds, but it doesn’t look good for Sheffield. Matsui’s already signed to a long deal and so is Damon. It doesn’t look good for Sheffield.

Addendum: Do you think Barry put his own parantheses around “Providence, RI”, not realizing ESPN’s brilliant chat software would do it for him?

Second addendum: I was once featured prominently on a friend’s slam-poetry album in college. On two tracks you can clearly hear me in the background making fanboy noises. And in my moment of glory, I had a solo belch. I can’t remember why the belch was needed, but it was clutch, believe me.
