Thanks, yea i got to say, although i like to watch most sports, baseball is my favorite, and the best to me. I played it and the yankees are my team and just to have baseball 24/7 365 on one channel will be awesome, plus they have some really good hosts like harold reynolds and al leiter, and then they also have my favorite insiders in Jon Heyman and Verducci, if everyone remembers correctly Heyman was the one who announced the yanks and tex so he knows his stuff, he was the first guy to know and everyone doubted him.

Yeah they do have some very good hosts. I think Baseball Tonight has gotten a lot worse since Harold Reynolds left/was removed.

And you're right, Heyman has been on top of everything this off-season.

yea harold reynolds was the man .. wasnt he accused of sexual harrasment though from an intern at ESPN .. and then sued them?

Yeah. He was ready to take them to court but they settled the case. Glad to see him back.

I'm just glad that it looks like none of the ESPN baseball clan is going to be on the network.

Reynolds is cool!

All I recall about those chumps at ESPN is how they were crowing about how no one should rush to judge Bonds as we must assume a man's innocent until proven guilty, and then they quickly dismissed Reynolds solely the basis of an accusation. Looks like in this case it was fine to presume someone guilty! As some of you might recall, I dislike those weenies at ESPN.

I look forward to watching the new network and to hearing what Reynolds has to say!
