Was never a fan of Jack's , so this doesn't bother me like when Dirk or Ashby left town.

Hallelujah.

It's so awful that we can't keep anyone tho? We must be paying them peanuts

"And Blue Jay fans rejoiced!"

Why are you guys all hating on him? He wasn't as good as Ashby but he wasn't that bad..

Thank god

he got better as the season went on, but his analysis was quite expendable and he trailed off in far too many of his sentences for this to be a noteworthy loss to the broadcast team

It means more Wilner, which is a bad thing, but Jack was pretty terrible overall.

Didn't he jump ship from Minny last year? man that was fast. I also don't understand the
Jack Morris hate although I haven't listened to a radio broadcast in 20 years. When he
filled in on TV I didn't mind him though.

Looks like Dirk Hayhurst is gone from the radio crew.

He's gone from SN in general - Wont be back working for Rogers/ Blue Jays

Yeah that must be it, and FYI the Blue Jays don't employ Jack Morris or any other broadcasters

I still can't forgive him for that blowout loss in the 92 series (for which some people - not me! - paid $1,000 for a pair of tix). So no tears.

Technically, yes, but I mean it's all the same company really. They're fairly intertwined...

I thought he fell asleep at times during broadcasts. He also would sound like a hard ass much of the time and didn't have much personality.

Now that's some good news

his voice was not meant for radio.
he sounded like a drunk old man rambling on his porch.
on occasion, he'd share some excellent nuggets about the locker room, etc. But a guy like Ashby had a much greater ability to tell a tale, be funny and be relevant.

not going to miss Old Man Morris.

better question, though: broadcasting a game on the radio (not just baseball). how great are the ratings, how much of a need is there anymore?

please dont give jamie campbell more air time what ever they do. Jack wasnt to bad i think he just band wagon jumped when he thought we were going to the world series

I am guessing Wilner will replace Morris on the radio with perhaps Jose Cruz Jr filling in the Dirk Hayhurst role on TV
