TBS Says Goodbye To Caray

I'm sure many of you will be happy about this news.... According to Richard Sandomir TBS has decided to part ways with announcer Chip Caray. Caray had been the lead announcer for the MLB playoffs, and called Braves games.
In a memo sent to company employees, David Levy, the president of Turner Sports, wrote on Monday: “Since the end of this year’s M.L.B. playoffs, we’ve had several discussions with Chip Caray regarding 2010 and beyond. Both sides have agreed that now is the right time for Turner Sports and Chip to move ahead on different paths.”.
The article also says that there was time left on Caray's contract, so when they say "Both sides have agreed", what they actually mean is Chip Caray was fired and we're just saying this to be nice.

Caray was also doing Braves games for TBS and the company said they were looking at a
“number of candidates” to replace Caray.
