I think he got a raw deal....I was listening to the game and it didnt appear that Lou was upset! Lyons is an entertaining(although Talky) guy and I don't think he meant any disrespect to Piniella. But that crack about the blind guy was the bananna so it was bound to happen. He's going to talk to big boss, so maybe they'll keep him on! Anyway...Lou's gonna have his hands full with the Cubbies next year!

Timm,you and I hear this guy more than most on here(cuz he and Steiner do Dodger road games that Scully doesn't want to travel to do.) The guy does say a lot of stuff that is borderline appropriate for T.V. This certainly isn't the sharpest guy.I think this firing is a cumulative thing.I am sure he has been warned repeatedly.He doesn't really say anything that's that bad,but the guy just is routinely saying stuff he probably is better off not touching on.

Agreed! Too bad though, it's tough to lose a plum like that...just ask Harold Reynolds!

Scuds,
If it was a cumulative thing, i agree with you. If the firing was just based on this, he got jobbed. I'm sure Lyons will get a settlement out of this regardless. He'll argue that hi didn't get a warning bla bla bla and Fox will settle

This oh so politically correct society bull**** makes me wanna puke.
Ethnic jokes have been around since the beginning of time, and he obviously was kidding.
What a crock of ****.
