Fire Wayne Hagin Already! : July 29th: Cardinals vs. Mets

Once I tire of hearing Flush Flaherty saying things like…”Good job by (pick-a-Yank) in knowing how many outs there are!”. I flop over to this…

I must admit, I was slow to get on the Wayne Hagin crusade. But after today, my mind has changed, because Wayne was really on top of his game. Here’s how he massacred the seventh inning.

On my way back to work from my lunch break, I was listening to the game in the car. Wayne had the seventh inning and Albert Pujols came to the plate. Wayne was excited to state that Albert had done something in the 2000s decade that had only been done three times before: “Pujols led the majors for the decade in batting average, home runs AND RBIs—the CYCLE!”

Wayne corrected himself after putting major inflection on “cycle,” realizing he had just boned it and stumbled around the correction. “Of course, I said the cycle, but I mean, of course, the triple crown, being batting average, home runs and RBIs…”

...Once I got to my car, I was able to hear a bit of Wayne on the postgame show. He mentioned that the key defensive plays of the game were a pair of double plays that the Mets turned, “which were very important, because a man was on first.” Yes, Wayne, that’s often the case when a double play takes place. Why does this man have a job? Fire Wayne Hagin already!
