Afternoon Baseball

We start and end here with ESPN today.

First, Harold Reynolds fired for sexual harassment, according to the NY Post. Hopefully, it's just a misunderstanding (or a vendetta that gets exposed), because Harold is a great asset. Besides, who's going to broadcast the Little League World Series?
Of course, you won't find this info anywhere on ESPN.com. They have a 4-paragraph item buried on the MLB homepage. They also won't address why the antics of other on-air talent that involved criminal action (Michael Irvin) or on-air embarassment (Rick Sutcliffe drunk) don't result in firing.
Besides, if he's gone, that means more Sutcliffe, Kruk, and Steve Phillips. More on Phillips later. I think it's safe to say that the greater wrong is forcing 90 million households to listen to those three guys.

Cancer researchers wonder about the "Lance Armstrong" effect with testicular cancer.
Also, check out who's playing Lance in a movie. He's also playing Captain Kirk and in two monster threequels.

I'm not making fun of this. I'm just saying that it's not news, news being something that tells us something we don't know.

Lastly, Steve Phillips, the biased hater of A-Rod who's still trying to get back at him. Both the Reynolds and Phillips stuff I first saw at The Griddle, by the way.
