Woah.

Does anyone have the lowdown on this? To me, he was the best baseball guy they had.

Best guy besides Peter Gammons?

Don't know why though.

Peter Gammons is a Red Sox fan first, baseball fan second.

Harold Reynolds was unbiased, fresh and didn't care to upset people. He was real. He was the best analyst they had, period.

As per Bad Idea Blue Jeans:

"The company line is still simply stating that he was let go for 'violoations of company policy.' Details are still coming in, and the full truth probably will not come out for some time. Several of our most reliable sources allege that sexual haraassment is the cause of his demise. Nobody can say this for sure, and we cannot state that we're 100% sure but this is the overwhelming opinion, and usually where there's smoke there's fire."

This blog site is probably pretty reliable since two of the guys at the site were supposed to have worked for the Worldwide Leader in Sports.

Yeah, I did think Reynolds was good, and was funny in his interaction with "krukie", but Gammons at times added the certain "extra" element, which transcended just baseball between the lines, so to speak.

In the booth, I think Jon Miller (the guy who often times works with Joe Morgan) has a really nice quality as a baseball announcer.

Guff, that was flat out awesome.

I heard on the radio that it had something to do with an e mail and sexual harrassment, but those were unconfirmed reports. Who knows.

Steve Phillips and John Kruk are idiots. I like Gammons, but he's like everyone else on ESPN in that he has a boner for the Yankees and or Red Sox.

I liked Reynolds and I hope that this goes over quickly for him. Hopefully whatever it was isn't that serious.
