    Of all the luck. Curt just needed to be on the show that's "In your face!" and he would've been fine.

    Steve Howe of analysis.

    The major difference, of course, is that Steve Howe provided value to the clubs for which he pitched.

    He will be on Fox or MLB Radio within weeks.
    And I agree he wanted to be canned.

    I think those of you lamenting "political correctness" are barking up the wrong tree. Even if you agree with the bill, there's a way to express that with respect, not like an insecure 13-year-old.

    I don't think there's a chance in hell that happens. He's an embarrassment.

    Cranberry-
    Harold Reynolds is a lead studio analyst for MLBN.
    Anyone paying attention knows what kind of trouble he's been in.
    Aside from being a terrible analyst.

    I dislike Schilling but he was not bad when he stuck to baseball.

    He once got busted trying to spot Donald Trump at a discotheque.

    But he's a controversial embarrassment. One who doesn't mind sharing his opinions. And this is why Fox, which is desperate for anything, will snap him up. His politics won't hurt him with that organization, but it won't really be the reason he's embraced.

    Could totally see him landing at Fox Sports. He'd fit right in. He is a pretty good analyst if he could just avoid being a jackass for a week.
