Thanks, FJM.

If you like baseball, and hate assholes, but are also sort of an asshole, today is a sad day for you: Fire Joe Morgan has closed up shop. It's hard to blame them -- these are people with jobs, and lives, and if I decided I wanted to try to be that funny, it would probably eat up most of my day and i'd probably fail anyway.
Still, it's sad, and it's a major event if you're a certain type of person. FJM was funny, and fucking obnoxious, and attracted a bad element, and was also really smart and said things that no one at the time was saying. They brought shitty commentary into the light, and that's a public service, whether you liked the food tag or not.
The defining moment of FJM, if you ask me, is when they opened comments. It lasted like, a minute before it got out of hand and was shut down, and they never opened it again. That's a baseball community I want to be a part of.
I'm going to miss them. I hated Joe Morgan before I started reading FJM a couple years back, but I didn't know quite how much, or exactly why. Thanks, guys. It's sort of a bummer that JM has yet to be fired, but at least he knows he's a fucking idiot. Something something Manny Acta.
