Newsday: Best: Tim McCarver has no plans to return to local TV

And there was much joy in the streets!

On whether he enjoys the lifestyle of only doing national games: “That’s fair to say. I think my days of doing local broadcasting are over and have been for the last six years.”

On whether having Joe Buck do baseball only sporadically has been difficult: “It has not been a problem at all. I thought it might be when we started out and Joe was doing football in the middle of August. I thought there would be more of a problem, but I think this is further evidence that Joe Buck is as good as there is in the business and as good as there ever has been in the business.”

On whether he has thought about how much longer he will work: “The thought has passed through my mind, but one of the real rewarding things of my life is my work. The travel always is a problem. But it’s very rewarding to continue to do a good job and stay contemporary.”

I must be going soft, or I'm just so desparate for baseball talk I don't care. Mike & the Mad Dog put their interviews up as podcasts and their interview with McCarver wasn't bad. I suppose it's the lowered expectations you put on for M&MD;and simply hope to be entertained but..it wasn't bad. McCarver didn't say anything I thought was completely illogical (not something I would agree with, but nothing where I simply didn't understand his point).

Mike & the Mad Dog are pretty good interviewers though, and I will argue this with anyone. With call-ins, unlistenable. But Francessa knows just enough about the game to ask decent questions and they do an OK job of letting the interviewer go.
