1.5 innings of pure, unfiltered babble

The worst fears of many of us have come true.
For a full 1 1/2 innings Sunday night, alleged analysts Joe Morgan and Steve Phillips were debating about whether a New York Mets player was or wasn't a team leader. (Riveting stuff, I'm here to tell you)
Never mind the game was in progress. Never mind they missed two or three plays. Never mind the two of them will always be infatuated with the sounds of their own voices.
Even though Morgan has spent 19 years mastering the art of repeating the same point ad infinitum, there was always a limit, namely the next play, the next inning. Now that Phillips is part of the show, discussions like that are likely to be repeated.
We said it before, but it bears repeating. Two in the booth is a crowd. Three is stupid.
