News: Carlin and Ojeda on SNY’s Pre-Game
SNY will replace Matt Yalloff with Chris Carlin as host of the Mets Pre– and Post-Game Show,
reports Neil Best of Newsday, who adds that Bobby Ojeda will likely replace Lee Mazzilli, who the network has already decided not to re-sign.
…ojeda…really…i actually know nothing about him, in terms of on-air skills, but am interested to see what he’s all about…
…as for yalloff and mazz, i wish them well…they were always supportive of me and MetsBlog.com, and did their best to make me look more competent on air…
Speaking of television…
Best also reports that SI.com’s Jon Heyman will join the MLB Network as a ‘baseball insider.’
…i hope this doesn’t impact his role on SNY and WFAN, since i enjoy hearing his take locally on the Mets, as opposed to only news about the entire league…
So far, Barry Larkin, Dan Plesac, Al Leiter, and Harold Reynolds, among other former players, have already been announced as part of the MLB Network team.
…it’s funny, every time i put the MLB Network on, it’s some in-depth retrospect about the 2004 Red Sox, which inevitably makes my Yankee-fan wife sigh, shake her head and walk out of the room…
