At his blog for Newsday, media-watchdog Neil Best lists Andy Freed, the voice of the Devil Rays, as the leading candidate to replace Tom McCarthy as play-by-play broadcaster for Mets games on WFAN next season.
Also, Best writes that SNY will likely show road games in HD format next season.

I’m sure if he’s not up to snuff, Rick Peterson can fix him in 15 minutes.
Since when did we start allowing Peterson an extra 5 minutes?
absolutely hilarious… well done
im surprised we didnt ship pelfrey to TB in this deal.
I am glad it’s not Ed Coleman. I think he does an excellent job in the role he’s in – but whenever he fills in and does play by play, I feel it sounds awkward and he just can’t stay with fast moving plays – he stumbles over his own words…….
just my 2cents
agreed .. I like Eddie’s role as Mets guy, but even his work with Joe B this week has been awkward; he talks over people, gets too tangential, and creates awkward moments.
What about Kevin Burkhart? He and Howie would be great
i agree
The HD would be awesome!!
Scott Graham, who grew up a Mets fan, is also a leading candidate…and I have it on inside source that he wants the job, and made a point to tell the FAN that he was a Mets fan growing up, which apparently peaked their interest
Heard a lot of Scott Graham from the old Atlantic 10 TV package. Not terrible.
I could not (respectfully) disagree more. Living in the Phillies local market, I hear Scott Graham a lot. He could be the corniest broadcaster in history and when he is paired up in the booth with Larry Andersen, I actually contemplate cutting off my own ears. Unlistenable. When you add Chris Wheeler to the mix, the Phillies could have the worst broadcast team ever. Only Harry Kalas saves that crew from being a total disaster and even Harry has lost a little on his fastball.
How bad do you think Freed wants this job? One minute you’re the radio voice of the Devil Rays, the next minute you are the voice of the Mets?
Under the category of keeping up with the Jones, they better broadcast away games in HD format since their crosstown rivals have already beaten them to the punch. Last year all Yankee games were broadcast in HD on Yes. There is no excuse for a New York team, regardless of sport, home or away, to not be broadcasting games in HD.
Knicks aren’t in HD on FIOS
Experience the Knicks losing in heartbreak fashion in HD! Call your cable providers!
That’s when they aren’t losing by 50 points.
“Last year all Yankee games were broadcast in HD on Yes.”
I do not think that this is at all accurate. I know I saw many Yankee away games on YES last that were not in HD.
GET GARY THORN BACK!!!!!
only if Tom agrees to take the mound every 5 days and do the games on the other 4. AND do NOT pair him up with Darling. Those two would discuss the finer points of finger pressure on a backup slider all game long. Sheesh.
Big Boy…………..
hahahaha
Glad McCarthy is gone. If I heard him say “He went down swinging on strikes” one more time I was going to become a Phillies fan.
How about…back to the wallllllllllllll, iitss goooooone!!! As his voice cracks.
What about “heeeeeeeeeeeee is gonna score eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasily!”
It’s the Rays- not the Devil Rays!
and im fine as long as they keep the talent on sny the same
this devils ray guy will tell us how bad kazmir is
this passage from a Newsday column today speaks volumes about what’s wrong with the mets and their disinformation campaign. the mets are the laughingstock of baseball, trading away a top prospect for spare parts because he’s too scary for them and willie doesn’t know how to teach winning players. what a sad and feeble organization…
“As for the doubt, the Mets like their trade of Lastings Milledge to Washington for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider. Officials from other teams don’t. And word is that the Milledge trade further hurt the Mets’ chances of landing Haren, as Oakland general manager Billy Beane still likes Milledge.
Said one competing official: “It’s been a bad two weeks for the Mets.” That seems like a generous understatement.”
More like bad 3 months. Is there anyone else who thinks Omar’s future is now directly tied to the success of Jose Reyes?
I don’t see how you can draw that concusion.
If Reyes’ 2008 season more closely mirrors the second half of 2007 than the first half, and this team struggles without a front line starter to a second place finish there will be plenty that will blame Omar for not including Reyes in a deal.
Let me guess….Wallcae Matthews wrote this.
Sometimes I listen to the FAN, sometimes I don’t [during Mets games.] I like to listen in online to Mike and Mad Dog, just to hear about my New York sports. (I really dispise Philly teams and refuse to listen to Sports Talk 950.
Anywoo, I still can’t get over Tampa Bay RAYS. haha. Devil Rays sound better, but who’s counting.
Your MySpace page says you live on an uninhabited island. How the hell do you get WFAN?
WFAN streams through the internets now.
They have internet access on uninhabited islands?
The Professor from Gilligan’s island set up a FIOS there. Nice truck, too.
