Hey Harold, Your Cell is Ringing

[On the set of MLB Tonight, Harold Reynolds' cell starts ringing. The tune is Hot N Cold. The caller is Bud Selig]


BUD: Harold. Bud Selig.


HAROLD: See, here's a guy that wants my autograph. Hey there Bud. What's good?


BUD: Harold, you work for the MLB Network right? The MLB NETWORK? Amirite? Uh huh. The reason I ask is because I'm not sure my ears heard me right. Can you repeat, a little louder, what you said about Nationals fans going to games?


HAROLD: I uh...Let's see here...What time...


BUD: You said, "Plus the game is on TV. Why go?" Yeah, great fuckin idea Harold. Let's all just fuck up our shit, shall we? Why stop there? Tell 'em to to pack bag lunches and share MLB.com password info on internet forums. Goddamn! I like you Harold, sexual harassment tendencies and all. Stick with what you know best. Go ahead. Give it a try. Tell me what you thought about Zimmerman tonight...


HAROLD: Well, here's a guy that started a major league baseball game, and he went out there and threw the innings.


BUD: PEEEERFECT. Time for my shower. I'm feelin better.

Couldn't have drawn it up any better

As if on cue, MLB Network just went live to the Orioles-Rangers feed. Ian Kinsler needed a triple to get the cycle and whaddyaknow, he got it by hitting it into the right-center gap. Makes me wonder - was he trying to get the triple? Or just doing what he could with a belt high heater?

Regardless, first O-Dog, now Kinsler. Season's off to a good start...

MLB Network

How kickass is MLB Network? Live lookins, replays of out of market games, no Steve Phillips, no Joe Morgan, no John Kruk, no Peter Gammons...

How did I watch baseball highlights before this?
