... nightmare is over. Chip Caray will part ways with Turner Sports. He will no longer call the Atlanta Braves for Peachtree TV and it also means he won't be calling MLB games on TBS including the postseason.

A new broadcaster could be handling the Atlanta Braves games in 2010, after Turner Sports decided to fire Chip Caray , according to the AJC . In kind terms, Turner Sports said the decision was mutual, but AJC makes reference to the numerous mistakes and media criticism Caray received during the playoffs. Caray was just the Braves announcer until the network decided to spread him across games and throw him into the playoffs. Well, they found out rather quick that he did not have the talents of his father, Skip, or his grandfather, the great Cubs announcer Harry. Caray told ...

The guy plans to retire from ESPN when his contract expires next April and some Big 12 school would be wise to pony up to get him in the booth. 7. David Levy, Turner Sports president: Sure, you can tweak Levy for hiring Chip Caray in the first place, but I come to praise the executive for making the decision to part ways with the baseball broadcaster. No one likes to see anyone lose a gig but ...
