Harold Reynolds
I just saw on ESPN insider (from a New York Post article) that Harold Reynolds was fired from Baseball Tonight and is no longer welcome in Bristol. No reason was given. Has anybody heard anything about him ruffling feathers with the big shots or any other reason he was fired? I thought he would have been a part of that team for the next 8 years as they re-newed their contract with MLB.

Yeah, weird
My impression is there was an incident (or incidents), though who knows what, not a matter of them being unhappy with his performance.
I understand that he was a little loose with the women, though that in itself would be neither suprising nor grounds for firing from what I understand about ESPN. Besides, they kept Irvin around after the pipe incident.
He must have done something pretty bad, I think.

While we don't know squat yet
If you're just unhappy with a guy's performance on the air, you let him go after the season.

Hm
We may not ever be told specifically, but it may be possible to read it from what (little) other ESPN guys say about it, aka, if they slip in little spots indicating they still are with Renyolds, or if they too no longer welcome him.
At any rate, I hae pretty much stopeed watching ESPN for anythign mroe than seing what has happened. their anchors arre the best in the biz bar none, but their in game commentators are terrible and their analysts are worse. Renyolds included.

ESPN's fall
As for BBTN, it's a joke. Reynolds was part of that, but since Peter Gammons is gone, about the only value it provides is highlights, which are scant for all small and midmarket teams. The editors gear the whole thing to market demographics and don't know a thing about relevance. And the commentary sucks. I would be surprised if they have much viewership anymore anyway.
Remember when ESPN was any good? Now there's SportsCenter, poker, darts and the WNBA. Whoo hoo?

That's actually just not true
I don't know what your beef with espn is exactly, but that's just not true. Try again.
Now there's SportsCenter, poker, darts and the WNBA.
You conveniently left off their MLB coverage, NBA coverage, and NFL coverage. There's also the College World Series, which I quite enjoy.
ESPN's not perfect, but come on, you don't need to bend the facts like this to make your point.

Poker
And it isn't like they can have baseball on all the time. htere are only so many games played...
I like ESPN's programming, just not the analysts. That's why I'd never pay for EPN insider. A few f those guys, like Neyer, write good stuff, but many of them put out tons of fluff that is often inaccurate.

Looks like we were right...
And ESPN.com is awesome CMath. Just get insider for the 7 bucks a month. You get like 5 free mags a month as part of the subscription.
BBT is still a good show DESPITE its analysts.

Sort of
Mixed in are hugely erroneous statements by all the so called analysts and a healhth dose of red sox and mets. I don't need to waste my time watching it for sixty minutes when i can get more accurate info from the official box scores. the only time I watch it is in the morning when I'm getting ready for the day, because there is a tv on the wall in the bathroom at my house.
