I guess I had a different impression than the rest of you guys. He seemed like a cocky smart-ass, but that's not how he was when he started the show. At that time he was insightful and respectful, then as he went along he decided to get more arrogant and dig at whoever he wanted whenever he wanted.
But of course that wouldn't be a reason to be fired.Everybody dies, but not everyone lives.Comment

Reynolds was as smart as they come, baseball wise. He started lately to try to sound bigger than he is., baseball slang, catchy words., Say what you want about John Kruk, but he calls it like he sees it and doesn't get caught up in the lingo crap that some other ESPN guys do. Must be some hush hush stuff.,"Live strong baby"Comment

He Was A Joy To Watch And Listen To At The Little League World Series, Always Seemed Sincere In His InterestComment

Something fishy was going on with him and Kruk on Sunday while they were fightin bout that whole Arod trade thing. You could tell there was a rift between them as I was shocked they actually did this.
Ravech was tryin to take it to break and Reynolds just wouldnt keep quiet as he kept jabbin at Kruk. Analysts always do this on set but you could always tell it was playful jabbing. This time to me it didnt seem they were being playful......im sure it stems from some sort of a rift like this....anyone else see baseball tonight on Sunday?
PEACEComment

Could this have anything to do with it? Could the ESPN brass have received a little pressure from the Bronx?
From the Farifield, Conn. daily newspaper:
Reynolds offers A-new perspective
Yesterday, even after his two-homer night, the hot topic for the members of Club Misery (aka sports talk radio) was still Alex Rodriguez. Unfortunately, most of the stuff was repetitive - hardly compelling.
But on Sunday night, during the Mets-Yankees rain delay on ESPN, studio analyst Harold Reynolds broke new ground while discussing the "issue" of A-Booing and Rodriguez's reaction to it.
Since Reynolds works for ESPN, and not Al Yankzeera, where the suits encouraged - more likely ordered - David Justice to put a verbal hit on A-Rod, his words were from the heart and not scripted.
Reynolds was doing his own bidding.
He believes any perceived problems the Stadium boo birds are causing Rodriguez can be attributed to what the Yankees' third baseman says once he is off the field.
"I think Alex's biggest problem is he talks too much. He shares too much of his heart with the people and people get tired of hearing about it," Reynolds said during the rain delay. "It all sounds like an excuse. He needs to shut up and go play baseball."
One of Reynolds' colleagues said Rodriguez is known for offering vanilla postgame soundbites. Those words did not stop Reynolds from further advancing his point.
"He (Rodriguez) says fluff stuff. But to sit there and say, 'I'm letting my offense affect my defense,' well, you don't need to say that in New York City. That's fuel for guys in the upper deck to yell at you.
"... Alex's problem always has been he likes to be liked, but he needs to leave it alone," Reynolds said.
Credit Reynolds for taking the scholarly discourse on Rodriguez in a different direction. It was refreshing not hearing a regurgitation of Rodriguez's offensive stats in the clutch, or the line about how the booing will stop when he "has a big moment in October," or how this whole thing is just a reaction to A-Rod's huge contract.
On Sunday, Reynolds, who never pulls his verbal punches, seemed to be painting a picture of a head case.
It's something to think about.Comment

harold is a good guy and the BASEBALL TONITE show will miss him as i dont think i can take much more of tino martinez and that other spanish guy they dug up. Steve Phillips is great and is the only one too save hat show. John Kruk played with Little BIG MAN lynn dykstra and doesnt know anyone who ever took them LOLComment
