A New Scourge For Joe Morgan

Chris Lynch chats up the basbeall color man every serious sabermetrician loves to hate about the latest Harry Potter novel:

ALR: Thanks for the interview Joe. First off, have you read the new Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince?

JM: I read an excerpt in the NY Times. It's typical if you write a book, you want to be the hero. That is apparently what Harry Potter has done. According to what I read in the Times, Potter is smarter and braver than anyone else. I don't think it will make him popular with the other wizards out there.

Hilarity ensues. For some, I'm sure that seeing Morgan get bashed continually over his Moneyball comments is akin to piling on, but he keeps asking for it as far as I'm concerned. And besides, if he actually bothered reading the book, he might actually change his tune.
