AP – In a bold and unexpected move the Mets have fired their HOF radio team of Howie Rose and Wayne Hagen and replaced them with Kyle Singh AKA “Sand-wedge Kid”.

In case you aren’t familiar,  “Sand-wedge Kid”  burst onto the NY baseball scene last week after winning a contest at his school.

Mets brass were quite impressed with the young Indian broadcaster after he called one inning of last weeks Mets/Marlins match up and decided that he had what it takes to finish out this season in the booth and stay on for next season.

“We like his style” Said Mets PR guy….

“His delivery is smooth and creamy, it reminds me of mayo” chimed in another

Other factions within the Mets were elated by the decision.  An unnamed source reported that Subway has extended their sponsorship with the team for another decade.  ”The kid knows his sandwiches” said Jared

Even Mets players seemed to be on board with the idea.

“I like the kid but you never know how long this baseball thing might last” Mike Pelfrey was overheard saying.  ”I could be making sandwiches for a living next season if I don’t get my game in check”

While recent call up Toby Stoner said he was “Always down for a sandwich”  Sounds like that Stoner has got the munchies.

When it came down to it, as with most deals in the game it was dollars and cents that tipped the scale.  Howie and Wayne.  Sure these guys do a decent job.  But they know they do a good job and made the Mets pay for it.  Luxury Transport, Hotel Suites, Fine Cognac and Cigars, Steak dinners.  The only thing this young whippersnapper asked for is bread and bologna.
