Jon Heyman of SI/SNY/WFAN to join MLB Network

(Heyman) well he’s a total mlb-mlb.

WatchDog has learned that former Newsday scribe Jon Heyman of SI, SNY and WFAN will be joining the MLB Network as an “insider.”

Heyman is expected to keep the SI gig, but at this early stage of this news development I am not clear on what it means for his roles as a contributor to SNY and WFAN.

No wonder the unemployment rate is rising. Heyman is taking all the jobs!

I suppose they were bound to make an unambiguously bad hire sooner or later.

So Harold Reynolds won't be a part of it? Whew!

Oh just awesome...the "insider" who suggested that Teixeira had a "handshake agreement with Arte Moreno" when so many of us knew that he was going back to the East Coast?

Good luck with that one...

I've been watching the MLB promo show with Huggin' Harold and the huggable Hazel Mae.

Can you be any more boring...can you show me the same friggin' clips I've been watching for 40-plus years (Gehrig made a speech?....they made a ####### movie based on it!)...can I see Mays' catch ONE MORE ####### TIME?...Harold yapping about the "deep analysis" not found anywhere else...laughable. Bob Youpay's tongue wagging like undies on a clothes line.

If this is what most of it will be about...it'll be a disaster for hardcore baseball fans (outside of the live games etc)...

Wow, that Repoz post seems almost completely straight-forward.

I must be missing something. ; -)
