ESPN fires Harold Reynolds

That man annoys the crap outta me.

Good call Vision on the sex harrisment call! :up:

 

Join the club.

:lol: Does anybody else remember when Buck called Tim McCarver a "delicate little flower" during the 2003 World Series?

 

He is biased against the Cubbies?

Cool.

Now I like him even more.

 

I'm convinced that Harry Caray touched you as a child or Ron Santo ran off with your mother or something, because I have never seen such complete hatred for a baseball team.

 

People talk more shit about the Yankees, it's just weird to see such strong feelings about a non-rival, loser of a franchise.

 

I'm kind of suprised that so many people think Reynolds was a good analyst.
A brick would look smart next to Kruk and Phillips, but Harold was still an idiot.

 

that's lovable loser sir.

 

Are you from St. Louis or something? I am used to hearing these kind of comments from Cardinal fans, not mets.

 

I thought Reynolds was just okay. Morgan and Gammons and Kurkjian are the true baseball talkin' experts at ESPN and Destrada is showing promise, but it's too early to rank him just yet.


The Cubs beat out the Mets for the division in 1989.
Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs off Dwight Gooden on Opening Day in 1994.
The only Cubs-Mets game I attended was a Cubs 13-5 victory.
The Cubs beat out the Mets for the postseason in 1998.
Cubs fans hate the Mets.
The Cubs and Mets used to be division rivals.

That's why I don't like the Cubs.

 

good call .,m

 

Cardinals fans are rarely so hateful as to make those kind of comments.

 

That's right, when a Cards fan is born they have a halo over their head. Also, they're the most knowledgable fans in baseball, and do a mean golf clap.

I hate Cards fans.

 

Time to pull out the high boots, so I can walk through the BS.

 

tim mccarver is a goof, but joe buck is o.k

 

Tim McCarver has some of the biggest ears I have ever seen. There is only one other pair of ears that comes close and that is Mitch Albom.

 

Many of those examples of Reynolds' "idiocy" weren't that bad at all. Not compared to most other ESPN analysts.

BTW mem_reddog, meet Jorge Posada.

 

im not buyin the sexual harrasment just yet...remember, Steve Phillips has been all over baseball tonite since gammons went down. And Phillips had that sexual harrasment thing with a chick in St. lucie....

 

A guy on JI said Brently was fired for being drunk right after Harold was.

 

Yeah i read that too, im not sure if theres any credibility to that. I saw Harold Reynolds on 1st and Ten a couple of days ago, and cant believe he got fired
I wonder how Baseball Tonight will go....

 

JN has this:

(UPDATE: Another reader, with "contacts on the inside," refutes the sexual harassment whispers: "Anyone who is saying sexual harassment either has been given bad third-hand info or is lying. Harold has had a couple of rather heated arguments with the producers at "Baseball Tonight," and some of the suits at ESPN over the program's coverage of Alex Rodriguez. At the last production meeting, when it was made clear they were going to really play up the A-Rod angle during coverage of the Yankees-Texas series, Harold had a colossal meltdown, which led to his dismissal. The sexual harassment allegations are even more laughable when you consider that he is being replaced by Steve Phillips -- a man who has never met a skirt he wouldn't chase and who was caught in one of the more embarrassing front office sexual harassment scandals in MLB history."
True? Not true? This, like the rest of it, just reinforces our point: We don't know. And the longer ESPN pretends like nothing happened, like they're a corner shop with three employees, believing this stuff can possibly remain private, the more talk there will be. Still, this is the lone "it's not sexual harassment email" we've received.)
