Oh, that's rich

sporting goods

OK, so this is old news, but I saw on an ad on ESPN.com that Joe Morgan's brilliant commentary was moved to "Insider" status. Quick, where's my wallet?

Surely this will cause the price of the Insider subscription to go up, because I can barely fathom how one could set a price on such gems as

"If a pitcher has a low ERA and consistently loses low-scoring games, like 2-1 or 3-2, it means the opposing pitchers are outpitching him."
and "On-base percentage has always been an important stat, but RBI and runs scored are the truest tests of what a player does to help his team win,"
and "That moneyball theory is overrated. No one has ever won with it."
and "until he can manufacture runs in the post season by playing some small ball and bunt and steal and hit and run -- produce and score runs -- I am not going to agree with his philosophy. Look at the history. There's only one way to win."
and "If not for the injuries, Griffey might still be the best player in the game."

and on and on...
