Beergate Continues To Reverberate
Thanks to Joe Morgan and several of our readers, there isn't a person on the planet who doesn't know by now that consuming alcohol during prohibition was very much legal. Repeat after us: It was only the mass production, distribution and sales of booze that was illegal. Morgan, of course, raised the issue during ESPN's broadcast of the Phillies-Giants game on Sunday, in which a banner was unfurled in left field that read: "Ruth did it with hot dogs and beer. Aaron did it with class. How did you do it?" The banner was aimed of course at Barry Bonds. Morgan, in trying to defend Bonds, remarked: "The funny thing about that is that, wasn't beer illegal in Babe Ruth's day?" Morgan's gaffe even got play on MSNBC Countdown on Monday, as Keith Olbermann reminded us that, no, beer was not illegal to drink then. (Best part: Olbermann did not mention Morgan by name). More »

• 10 a.m. MLB With Joe Morgan: Hey, so, in your all your years of playing baseball, did you learn anything that you'd feel comfortable sharing with the casual fan?
• 1 p.m. Page 2's Scoop Jackson: For some reason, every time we see you on television, even though it's only a two-dimensional medium, you seem unusually short. Is that true, or do we need to adjust our set?

We Hope You Like Joe Morgan
Bad news for those who are driven to murderous rage by the voice of ESPN analyst Joe Morgan: ESPN and Major League Baseball have extended their broacast agreement through 2013. Sunday Night Baseball with Morgan and Jon "Hey, Don't Look At Me, I Don't Know What The Hell He's Talking About Either" Miller continues, and a Monday Night Baseball franchise will include a "live, on-location batting practice special," which hopefully John Kruk will not be invited to. (Oh, just tell him Darren Daulton's somewhere other than the stadium; they'll be too busy making out to notice.) More »
