Deadspin
Well, it only took almost a freaking year, but you're never gonna believe who finally has a new job, folks.
That's right: Your friend and ours, Mr. Harold Reynolds, out of a job since being fired by ESPN for now "official" reason in July, has been hired by MLB.com to work as a broadcaster. Here's the official press release.
After the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Reynolds will appear five days per week at 2 p.m. (ET) to bring his unique viewpoint of the game directly to fans around the globe. Reynolds will also interact with fans via weekly online chats and through his blog, giving MLB.com users unprecedented, round-the-clock access to one of baseball's most knowledgeable and popular personalities.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the Major League Baseball family," said Reynolds. "I look forward to being a part of the MLB.com team and taking full advantage of this chance to service baseball fans worldwide across Major League Baseball's array of multimedia platforms."
Wow, that's all Harold, all the time: Five days a week! We would ask ESPN their view on this ... but, as we all know, they refuse to admit Harold ever existed. Well, other than to respond to his lawsuits.
Welcome back, Harold. We're glad to have you. Just to be safe, though ... we think you know which restaurant chains to avoid.

No. His show must be sponsored by Boston Market.
Harold Reynolds wishes to not partake in your "Free Hugs" Campaign, though he is somewhat interested in your newsletter.
We should all give mlb.com a collective hug
I still think his firing was bullshit. How was he supposed to know the Charmin Doctrine applies to interns?
Eh, color me unimpressed. I'm glad he's back in the fold, but MLB.com is my last destination when it comes to shows/articles. I go there for MLB.tv and MLB.tv alone. Even their stats pages are unwieldy.
But welcome back, Harold. My how we've missed you.
Wonder how quickly the "No trips to Boston Market" memo traveled around the MLB.com office today.
If you don't think he can grab your ass through the web cam . . . then you severely underestimate the power of Harold Reynolds.
MLB Exec: "Um, Harold, great to have you here. Can, uh, we talk really quick about this 'servicing' our fans?"
I for one, welcome our new hugging overlord.
Looks like HR got Sylar's powers somehow
KFC for everyone!!!
You're with me, MLB.com
I wish Eric Young was an inappropriate hugger.
@Summer-of-George: I also wish E.Y could speak in coherent sentences. To each his own.
This saddens me. I hate Harold.
I thought that Harold Reynolds giving "unprecedented, round-the-clock access" to himself to certain people was the whole problem in the first place.
Salisbury sent him a congratulatory picture of his penis.
@Athletic Supporter: To quote Holly, "I would go over the bar"
They should have HR tal
They should just have HR talk during commercials on MLB.tv, anthing is better than watching PacMan or that pong game over and over.
@Jake Fratelli: +1 for subtlety
Also, go fuck yourself nibbles.
Bitch set him up.
@Blackaces: Wait, so is there a second hugger on the grassy knoll?
To celebrate, Harold took Erin Andrews to Dunkin' Donuts for some "hot coffee."
@Athletic Supporter: The "magic hugger" theory just doesn't hold up if you watch the film closely.
...and taking full advantage of this chance to service baseball fans worldwide...
Is this code for something?
@ASox: I think they swore in John Kruk on the plane back to Bristol.
@PQ Crash:
To be fair, Erin Andrews does like her coffee like she likes her men.
Interact with the fans via weekly online chats and through his blog, eh? Sounds like a real hands-on approach.
@Kip Wells Has a Posse (Me): She likes coffee from Indiana named Seabass? Weird.
he better take Alyssa Milano to Boston Market to celebrate. she's the kind of girl who sees "sexual harrassment" for what it is: harmless flirting.
"...we think you know which restaurant chains to avoid."
Gropey's?
Whenever we bring up Harold, it reminds me that there are no Boston Markets in Utah, and that makes me sad. I love their mashed potatos.
@Kip Wells Has a Posse (Me): ground up and in the freezer?

@Jen P: Spiced apples are the work of the devil, right?
And for Lt. Winslow re: last night, yes it was Taverna Opa and the ouzo made it even better. Hooray for dancing on tables with strangers!
@metroville: Tickle'n'Slappy's BBQ Emporium and Gift Shop?
does this mean that sean salsibury gets a lifetime deal?
@metroville: Since he spent a large amount of time in Seattle, I think the best restaraunt for him to avoid is Dicks.
This is awesome. HR was the only thing saving BBTN from the depths of depravity and suckitude. Now the show is a wallowing morass of degenerates where every comment is stupider than the last. Wherever HR will go, he will be successful.
Welcome back to TV HR. I missed you buddy!
@Jen P: Their Mac and Cheese is very underrated as a high starch comfort food when you're too lazy to make it yourself. Like me. A lot.
I'd let him grope me for some Boston market mac and cheese.
@RashaanEnis: meanwhile I like my coffee like I like my women: cold and bitter.
Amen. Handsome guy, well spoken, good baseball IQ, never should have been fired in the first place.
@brocklanders79: A ringing endorsement from the man that said "feast on this" and then removed his pants.
@Lizalicious: Mental note: Bring mac and cheese.
@Lizalicious: My price would be mashed potatos and a piece of cornbread. Well, two pieces of cornbread.
@Lizalicious: Is this an ass grab or a boobie grab and for how long? I need specifics when negotiating.
@PeteJäyhawk: There's a Boston Market in Westport, Pete... A little out of your way, but still..
@klemmer35: Nah, besides, Biggs BBQ in Lawrence has the best.macandcheese.ever.
@PeteJäyhawk: Rock, chalk Mr. Jayhawk. How are you this evening?
@Jen P: Is this a general pricelist, or HR specific.
[Goodness, I feel awful in even asking that. I do apologize.]
@Snitches Get Stitches: I'll be a lot happier when I leave the office in an hour or so.
