I'll take the over (I heard Gary Thorne and Dave Campbell are doing the game).

But if you substitute Thorne for Morgan, I'll take the under.

I'll take the under. This will be the first baseball game I've ever watched in HD tonight. I hope it's great.

Nope Anon....it's for sure Miller and Morgan. Thorne and Campbell might be on the radio.

ifiok,

Don't be too disappointed if it isn't up to your expectations. ESPN's HD feed (unless something changes for MLB '08) isn't one of the better broadcasts currently available.

"Maybe they are setting up the fireworks in honor of us" -Joe Morgan

Joe Morgan's dumb comment started yesterday during the Civil Rights Game. That asswipe stated that baseball is not only losing interest in the African-American communities but all all communities in this country. Also, that baseball is staying afloat by importing players from Latin America and Asia.

6 Billion Dollars in revenue and American is losing interest in Baseball?

Oh God opera

Worst National Anthem Ever.

that lady scares me, she may eat me

Oh God, did anyone else hear those player intros? The music sounded like some cheesy old Western show.

of course. can phillips pick anyone but the mets? I used to think he was ok, but he is obviously rooting for them when he gives his analysis. get over it

"6 Billion Dollars in revenue and American is losing interest in Baseball?"

--and likely 80 million through the gates this year, yeah, the game is in trouble...

Ball, Mr President.

Dubya really god the crap booed out of him.

He certainly looked more comfortable than Cheney last year.

wait, Morgan told me yesterday Odalis Perez was going to be the fifth starter on the Mets, what's the deal?

morgan mispronounced Matt Diaz....hes in fine form this year. One pitch has not been thrown yet.

O/U on the word "first"

Im waiting for the obligatory "he's on pace to hit 162 home runs this year" when someone hits a home run tonight.

Great...they're talking about a tag.

I think Mayweather vs Big Show is coming up soon. Just alerting all you boxing fans.

And damn is that tag annoying on Perez.

Did Joe Morgan almost say "American player" instead of Nationals player?

i love when announcers say what morgan just said, "you don't want to get a player thrown out at the plate with no outs," -- so does that mean it's okay to get thrown out at the plate any other time?

K Zone Sucks, its never right

"I believe in K-Zone"-Joe Morgan

Anybody catch the Baseball Tonight reenactment commercial of the Bug Game in Cleveland last year? Karl Ravech is not Joba Chamberlain.

If there was a Pammy for baseball season it'd be named after Joe Morgan.

am i the only one that expected nick johnson to be out for the season after that slide into second?

No UW....that was sketchy, but all of his slides are sketchy.

Thank you, Jon Miller, for noting all of the firsts at Nationals Park, for the "congressional record"...wait, what?

that is the 4th time morgan has dropped "hustle" in one innings

Dubya really got the crap booed out of him. (Via Akiyama)

Curse my typos. 2-0 Nats so far. Where's the Braves winning the East? (Yes, I'm already jumping on them by the bottom of the first inning.)

YOU GUYS NEED TO GET A LIFE.... ENJOY THE GAME AND STFU!!!!!!YOU GUYS ARE LAME!!!!

There is definitely a Geico caveman sitting behind home plate. 5th row, on the aisle, in the red jacket.

God Bless America!

"There's nothing like going to a new house." Joe Morgan

I wonder what your house looks like Joe.

what the heck just happened to Gammons, there was no way i thought he was going to get through that update...

Good to see Joe is up to speed on his historical landmarks. The Washington Memorial??

Someone's in the wrong place...

I thought it was the Washington Monument.

Morgan was referring to the little known Claudell Washington Memorial, which is a shrine to players that suited up for at least seven teams.

Bush is coming up to be interviewed by Joe and John. Get ready to add a ton of quotes to the main post.

Ahh my good friend NDN....I love you. You hate the site but you read anyway. My favorite kind of people.

I'm pretty sure that is Joe Morgan stopping by to say hello.

Yes Anon! I'll get them up as fast as you type them.

W - "I was thrilled to be here."

Aren't you still there?

"Thank you very much uh..., it's a thrill to be here." George W. Bush.

boy, not an awkward conversation between the three at all

Have you ever seen a time where George W. Bush is the smartest man in the room? There is a first for everything.

Drinking Game!

Take a shot everytime you hear the words "presidential opener". You won't be alive after 1/2 an inning.

Having the President in the booth...These are the times I wish John Kruk was doing the game.

I just switched on the game, and what's the first image I see? Morgan, Miller, and President Bush sitting in the booth together... collectively knowing absolutely nothing about the sport they are watching. This hurts my brain. ::mutes tv::

"Thank goodness you didn't put that little strike zone up there you know" -Bush talking about his pitch

goody bush is in the booth

Joe Morgan as Astros GM? I don't think he would want to have Billy Beane write a book about his strategies. Call it a hunch.

"Is there any interest in your half to get back in. (silence)
-Morgan to Bush about buying the the nationals

"I watch you guys quite a bit...at least on Sunday nights" - Bush

Jon Miller really wants to piss of his San Francisco audience sucking up to W. it seems.

look at that grip bush has on the table

Bush is starting to sound bored. I think he just wants to shoot a breeze and watch a ballgame.

George W. knows a lot more about the Braves than the actual color commentator does....just sayin'.

i want to see them develop this "sophisticated stuff" for steroids to, george

Steve- If Chip Caray said it was a Sunday game, I'm checking my calendar.

joe morgan needs to be taken out of the booth before someone gets hurt

George W zings George Will, nice.

"First thing in the morning we're headed off to the Ukraine." - Bush
"All right." - Morgan

Tell me you guys caught the Baseball Tonight commercial with the flies and the Yankees...pretty good.

"Some of the best times of our lives was when we were with the Rangers"- George W.

Thanks for telling us that George W.

Did Bush just let it slip he was heading to The Ukraine? Isn't that suppose to be classified.

Over/Under on ow many words the FJM post will be tomorrow?

Bush+Morgan+Miller = Ken Tremendous' head exploding

joe morgan has not gone more than 30 seconds without a chuckle/giggle

No, that was in the papers a week ago, never fear, W will solve all of NATO's problems...

"manny acta will visit with us from the nationals dugout"
-Miller
you cant have it both ways, jon

You see Kanye West, George Bush and MLB do care about black people!

"congratulations on a great season you promoted here last year"
-Morgan to manny acta

ahhhhh there we go "Delmon young" PLAY BALL

Does anyone have a tally as to how many times Miller has said "President Bush threw out the first pitch"? I've only watched 3 innings so far and it has to be about a dozen times already.

What about a count on the word "first"? I'd say at least 15-20 times.

I don't know how many times he mentioned that, but I was upset they didn't ask W what he thought about "Lil Bush" on Comedy Central.

I am very happy I have tickets to a Sunday night sox/yanks game this year, so I wont be subjected to hearing these two AMAZING announcers.

Also the Presidential opening night/Bush first pitch count has got to be at at least 50

What is the tally on Morgan telling us about the parties he has been invited too? He must be pretty popular, but then again, it's kind of like inviting that dumbass cousin who lives in Japan to your wedding because you know he can't come. I am sure the Cubbies checked the broadcast schedule before extending Morgan the invite...

With all the damn times Sweet Caroline gets played in ballparks around America, Neil Diamond should do four or five more Storytellers episodes. I'm sure John Goodman is available.

;)

Chad Cordero and Jon Rauch...separated at birth?

LoDuca must have been trying to remember that 19-year olds name right there...Nats blow one, and it won't be the last...

Isn't 2 and 2 considered behind in the count? 1 strike and you're out. 1 ball and it's a full count.

Before the break: "That ball was in the air." - Joe x 2

After the break: "That ball was in the air - until it hit the ground there at the end." - Joe

I've missed you, Mr. Morgan.

"The Happy Ending for the Nationals..." - Jon Miller

So at least I'm not the only one who had to listen to Joe describe what a "passed ball" is three times on the same play!
