SAY YES, KEN

YES NETWORK president of production and programming John Filippelli is trying to convince Yankees analyst Ken Singleton to unretire, sources told The Post.

Singleton, 71, has been involved in Major League Baseball for nearly a halfcentury since he broke in with the Mets in 1970. Prior to the season, he announced his retirement from broadcasting effective at the end of this year.

Filippelli is trying to entice Singleton back with a lighter schedule that would cut his games from his current 50 to 25, sources said. It would be potentially heavy on broadcasts of games at Baltimore and Tampa Bay, where Singleton has homes.

“It’s flattering that he wants me to come back,” Singleton said when reached Tuesday and asked about the possibility.

Singleton would not say which way he’s leaning — though he is expected to inform Filippelli of his decision shortly — but he said he really loves watching his grandchildren, ages 8, 5 and 4, play baseball and soccer.

“It is like nothing I have ever felt before,” Singleton said. “Even with my own kids, it was fun watching them play, but even more so now. Maybe because I’m getting older I appreciate it even more. When my own kids were playing, I had a job to do. I had to get on planes and trains and that sort of thing. I missed a lot. Now, I’m to the point where I don’t have to miss them if I don’t want to.”

In theory, Singleton still could make the majority of his grandchildren’s games, while coming back for another year at a reduced schedule.

“It is not like they don’t have plenty of guys to replace me, and they are all good,” Singleton said. “If it were a different story and it were just Michael [Kay] and me, I might think about it a little bit more. Paul [O’Neill], David [Cone], Flash [John Flaherty] and Al [Leiter] are all very good. Ryan Ruocco, they are all excellent. I found out as a player, nobody is irreplaceable. The game keeps going on.”

Clicker Cup: Some thoughts on the World Cup coverage. So far, John

Strong is up to the task as the lead play-by-play voice. Fox had a bent to go with an American voice after the

Gus Johnson experiment failed, which led to Strong. At the end of Iceland’s tie of Argentina, Strong put a signature on the call by saying, “Iceland beats Argentina, 1-1,” playing off the famous “Harvard beats Yale, 29-29” headline in 1968. Strong could have played it conservatively, but instead showed a little zeal. … Fox Sports’ late-night show, “World Cup Tonight,” is not good. The show, hosted by Fernando

Fiore, does not appeal to big soccer fans, which should be its target audience. Who else is tuning in at 10 p.m. to watch? Fiore is the dominant figure on the show, and we really don’t see the appeal. He is all over the place and tries to clown too much. Meanwhile former U.S. goalkeeper Tony

Meola has been pretty good on games and in studio — though he needs to pick up his energy — while Kelly

Smith should get a lot more airtime. Smith, arguably the best women’s player in England’s history, makes clever points, which is appealing to diehards, who would figure to tune in to the late-night show. She sticks out in Fox’s coverage because her commentary doesn’t feature a lot of nonsense.

Scary number: ESPN’s “Get Up!” only had 196,000 viewers on Friday, which is an awful number. An ESPN morning show needs to have 300,000 or more viewers.

“Get Up!” will have changes by the fall, maybe sooner. Everything is on the table so nothing is definitive, but it is clear that by

football season it will need to add a panelist who can talk NFL and college at an expert level. With Mike Greenberg, Michelle Bea

dle and Jalen Rose, the show currently don’t have anyone who can do it.

We would try to make the setting more casual because three people sitting behind a desk does not allow for a relaxed feel. They also should probably cut the show down to two hours because three is too many.

There is a lot to be done because, if the show doesn’t find its footing, ESPN will have a ratings drain leading off each day, which is no way to set the table. As Yogi

Berra might have said, it is getting late early.

With the World Cup and U.S. Open, FS1 beat ESPN for total audience watched last week. It is the first time FS1 has had more viewers than ESPN. More than 30 million viewers watched FS1 for at least six minutes compared to 28 million for ESPN.
