Wow, now if we can get Rick Sutcliff and the other two idiots from Fox (Joe Buck and Tim McCarver) off of TV, baseball might just be able to be watched with the sound turned up.
"We've decided to make a change and introduce new voices and new perspective," said Norby Williamson, an executive vice president of ESPN. He added: "Twenty one years is an eternity in this business. And today is about acknowledging the contributions they made to the franchise."
Sandomir speculates that Miller's replacement will be ESPN vet Dan Shulman, a move that Big League Stew heartily endorses. Shulman's style is among the best in the business and it's enjoyable to hear him call a game. He'll be a reason to tune in on Sunday nights.
Shulman will likely be joined by former pitcher Orel Hershiser, who joined the Sunday Night booth last season, and perhaps Bobby Valentine, if teams keep passing him over for managing gigs. Three-man booths just aren't for baseball, so hopefully they'll let the game breathe a bit (a valuable skill that's already in Shulman's arsenal).

Now the first replacement sounds great because i've never heard of him, which is usually a good sign of a good broadcaster and a good umpire!
Hopefully if it is Orel or Bobby they will shut the hell up for most of the broadcast.
