I'd love to have Jim Kaat come back -- Singleton as PBP and Kaat doing color would be perfect, but I'd pick Singleton & Cone over any other current combination. Flaherty is a little too serious/boring, and Leiter is just a little off.

He'll actually show some excitement (however faked it may be) for opposing team HRs, etc., and does from time to time question close calls that go the Yankees' way.

But they don't give you an unbiased broadcast. If a Red Sox player does something wrong/stupid, they have no problem pointing it out. If they get a call that maybe they shouldn't have, they will admit that they mightve got a break. Unlike the YES network where they NEVER admit a Yankee player mistake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-79782191641619495132008-07-23T17:59:00.000-04:002008-07-23T17:59:00.000-04:00G and anon 1,Have you guys ever heard them on the ...G and anon 1,<BR/>Have you guys ever heard them on the broadcasts?
