Damn, ripped BBTN apart.

Indeed ripped them apart.

I agree with every single point the guy made. The show has turned into a complete joke and is really unwatchable.

Neyer would be a nice add. And PLEASE get Kruk out of there.

Declination? I don't think that word means what you think it does.

That blogger sure ripped them to shreds. They're probably still smarting over the sting!

Yeah, it has become worse. It just seems so watered down.

RIP Harold Reynolds. Loved that guy on the show. Kruk is an idiot

100% correct. Baseball Tonight used to be my favorite show as well, and I always looked forward to watching it, especially when I was younger(back in the early 90's).

I can't stand watching it anymore, and honestly I feel that way about ESPN as a whole these days. Get rid of Kruk, Stu Scott, Steven A. Smith, Phillips, and whoever the one is that says "winner winner chicken dinner" deserves to be executed.

About the only show I remotely "enjoy" watching anymore is Mike and Mike, and that's only because nothing else worth watching is on that early.

Damn this guy nailed it...

I can't watch it anymore either... Harold Reynolds was great on that show... Kruk and Phillips really do make it awful.

John Kruk is so stupid that he tries to decline verbs.

I disagree...sorry guys. The show is still great. I think I'd rather watch former major leaguers and Gm's talk baseball than anyone else.

If I posted what I feel about you and your comments, I may get banned.

That started the decline.
The best people on there are/(were) Gammons, Kurkchin, and Reynolds.

IMO...the show is a great idea they just need the right people to run it. Bring back Harold Reynolds!

Haven't watched it since Reynolds left, but I used to like Kruk back then. Dunno if he's somehow become dumber or something between now and then, but he used to be pretty funny with the old crew.

BBTN needs more Rob Dibble.

On the subject, yes, I agree, it sucks. I rarely watch it anymore unless I'm flipping past and they're showing Cubs highlights. Otherwise, ESPN News does me just fine.
