    The Subway Series rivalry might be carrying over to the broadcast booth.

    During his Tuesday afternoon edition of “The Michael Kay Show,” which airs on ESPN Radio and is simulcast on YES Network, host and Yankees television broadcaster Michael Kay took issue with an advertisement by neighboring TV station SNY.

    “What I’m going to say right now might get me into some trouble,” Kay began, as captured by Awful Announcing.

    “We appreciate every single one of the people that spend their money to advertise on the show. SNY is one of those people. … But their ad, which ran during the last break — ‘Enjoy the Subway Series with the best booth in baseball.’ I mean, do you just expect me to take that lying down? I think our booth is the best booth in baseball.”

    “I’ll take [Paul] O’Neill, [David] Cone and me over Gar [Gary Cohen], Ron [Darling] and Keith [Hernandez]. I would,” Kay retorted. “I mean, they’re great. But so is our booth.”

    YES uses a rotating group of analysts, but typically reserves the Kay/Cone/O’Neill trio for its biggest matchups.

    SNY regularly implements its three-headed cast which has earned praise throughout the media world.

    Although Prime Video will carry Wednesday night’s Subway Series finale instead of YES, Kay, Cone and O’Neill will still have the call.

    The Yankees will send out rookie phenom Luis Gil in Queens against Sean Manaea and the resurgent Mets as they look to get back on track and avoid losing four series in a row.
