I was shocked to read that cable station TBS has decided not to use Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren as part of their broadcast team. Skip and Pete will still do broadcasts with Turner South which is seen in fewer homes than TBS, but Don Sutton and Joe Simpson will be doing the broadcasts on TBS. Pete and Skip will also be doing broadcasts on the radio.

This actually doesn't affect me very much. I live in Atlanta and can tune in WSB to get the Braves broadcast any time. However, Skip and Pete have more than a half century of Braves broadcasting experience between them, and it just seems like a slap in the face to them.

I hope that TBS and the Braves get a boatload of complaints so that these beloved broadcasters can continue to be heard across the country and around the world.
