I also read somewhere that the recent flare up in the Middle East was linked to arguements regarding whether or not A-Rod should be moved down in the lineup or not.

Anything else we can pin on him?

I heard it was because Harold Reynolds voted for more than one choice in the recent "whats your strike three mechanic" on this board. I heard he chose both the chainsaw and ripping the phone book.

I thought he picked bow & arrow, starting the lawn mower, and punch out...

Well, in any case...

I think he was one of the best Commentators on Sports TV.

We can not judge, nor will we ever really know what happened.

It's just too bad.

My money is on FOX Network picking him up. If they do, I'll spend a little more time on channel 37 (in my area).

Whatever the reason for Reynolds' firing, I don't want to take any easy cheap shots at him. I hate to see anyone lose their livelyhood to which they worked hard to attain. He was never my favorite, and I often joked about his rule interpretations, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's a shame to lose a job over some skirt, or remarks about A-Rod, or any other lame reason ESPN could come up with to justify their change in direction.

I wish Harold Reynolds all the best, and hope that he gets another good gig soon.

OK, let's start a pool as to just when the unRev. Jesse Jackson will get involved in this firing.

I'm surprised he hasn't called a press conference already. Must be because he found out Reynolds voted for Bush or something.
