Bob Brenly leaves Cubs broadcast booth; replaced by Astros' Jim DeShaies

[DewsSox79]

Dewy, you watch Hawk all season, what's worse than that...

I'm actually happy Stone is staying with the WS, I wouldn't want him back. I would rather have a new guy...

Also, another name could be Dan Plesac... but that's on the low-end.

we all know hawk sucks and is a homer. after 30 years of listening to him you simply block him out.


you wouldnt want stone? let me guess....cuszz he went to thezz soxzzz and stuffz and issszzzz a traderrz

Maybe the Cubs go after....I dunno.....a non-former Cub?

Do we really need to be reminded that Hawk is a homer???

Think we've known that for quite some time.

Speculation about Sutcliffe:

I'd welcome Stone back w/ open arms. I <3'd Harry, but Stone carried him the last several years.

Brenly will definitely be missed. His insight and knowledge of the game along with his occasional anecdotes made the Cubs' broadcasts worth tuning in to this year despite the poor play.

Bob ---> D'Backs

Maybe if he can keep his ass out of white collar resort prison.

Kerry Wood told CSNChicago’s David Kaplan that he has no interest in the job. Kaplan mentions Todd Hollandsworth, Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Lyons, Eric Karros and Dan Plesac as some possibilities to join WGN. He also brings up Doug Glanville, who would be a terrific choice, in my opinion. Grace doesn’t appear to be a candidate.

 

[Uman85]

Karros, Glanville, Hollandsworth, Lyons or Sutcliffe.

Mike Quade.

D-Backs hired ESPN host Steve Berthiaume as the play-by-play man.

Why not do what the Sox did and promote a player that thinks they will be at ST as a player?

karros rambles too much.

karros rambles too much.

Maybe he was born a rambling man.

Karros would be okay. I could think of many worse options.

Karros would be okay. I could think of many worse options.

I agree . He still talks fondly of his time w the Cubs , he recorded alot of the 03 season on vids he has saved , and he's been a pretty good analyst for a while now .
