Dear lord, can you imagine if the Cubs are a .500 team this year!??!!? The only thing keeping the ratings from an all out collapse are the Cubs. Without them this station is in trouble! Warning! Turn the Drudge siren on!

Not long ago it was the first place I'd go to when I wanted an opinion on Chicago sports, now it's the last. They have a staff full of sports lightweights who have been led to believe they are engaging in some form of high-brow sports talk when the reality is they have their jobs because they work cheap. Very cheap. |

The entire first inning of every Cubs radio broadcast is almost entirely live reads by Pat Hughes, I'm sure they'll ride the hype of the World Series trophy to a profit. |

Does he take off two innings a game now to compensate? First he has the grueling task of talking in a conversational tone for three hours 162 days out of the year, and now this? Very unfair! |

Don't know why I just thought of this pet peeve, but why does WSCR have that separate announcer who introduces the sponsors right before and after Cubs' games? It seems unnecessary to have him do it when you've got many others who could do the same thing, and personally, every time I hear him it subconsciously makes me think there is a Sox game coming on, as he was the voice doing it when the Sox were on WSCR (Gene Honda?). |

The announcer they use now is pretty ubiquitous among CBS Radio properties, at least in this area. He does EVERYTHING, and even has some spots on CSN. Honda only did a few things for Sox radio broadcasts. |

Adding the Cubs to 670 increased revenue by $2MM against rights costs of $10MM per year. |

Are you thinking of Wayne Messmer? I think it's a nice touch to use him. |

Do you really think the Cubs tepid start is having any impact currently on ad revenue? |

Ron Coomer's "Seventh Inning Social Justice Stretch" sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center must be killing the ratings. |

I have a friend that looked at me like I had three heads when I said Messmer blew Cornelison away back in the day. Especially his O, Canada. He lost a bit after the shooting and with age obviously but nostalgia wins for me there. He also had the better building to sing in however. |

It's a morgue in there when they get down. Building acoustics don't help but neither do fans that are unenthused. |

I get all the shit for being doom-and-gloom but a second-period 1-0 Oilers lead in 2015 was enough to make 22,000 people think their homes burned down. |
