that sucks, although over the last 5yrs or so he seems to put more BS out there than anything. all of his good sources are gone.

wish him the best.

Not surprised. I like MLB Network a lot, but some of the people on there just are flat out bad... Gammons instantly makes that channel a heck of a lot better. Good for him.

Love to see ESPN hit in the balls like this...

They have poor specific sports coverage, except for the NFL (even that's not that great), which they shove down our throats 365 days a year...

I'll take the sports specific channel any day of the week. There is only a couple of Sportscenter anchors I even care for now, and one would be SVP.

I too enjoy the MLB network over the Red Sox-Yankees coverage at ESPN.

I have disliked ESPN's baseball coverage since H. Reynolds was fired.
