Len could post his W-2...


With Hawk GONE after this year, and Scully last year, chatting with or about some of the old school baseball broadcasters could be cool in small doses.

That's actually very cool. Welcome aboard, Len. Maybe this will encourage others to hop on... Jason Benetti?

I'm glad it's really you, Len.
I couldn't help sending hate mail to Chip. He's... terrible.
My only question is what strings you use on your bass. This is critical information. Also have you ever played your bass behind your head like Frank does?

Hi All,

Len Kasper here (yes, it's really me). If there is a moderator who can confirm it's me via my registration information, that would be great. I used to occasionally do Cubs.com message board Q&As but that doesn't exist any longer and I've checked this board occasionally just to see what fans are saying outside of the Twitter world. I kinda like the "old school" nature of message boards sometimes. Anyway, if you have any questions or SUGGESTIONS (yes!), let me have 'em. Hope you're all doing well, thanks. Len


Who is your go to dinner companion(s) on the road?

You typically do dinner before the broadcast, or keep everything clear and eat after the broadcast?

I love Pat Hughes and think he’s great...but as a broadcaster, what are your thoughts on his WS call? He’s had decades to get something ready and he goes with ‘jumping around like a bunch of delirious 10 year olds”.

Amen Hank. The moment was 100 plus years in the making and that was a completely underwhelming call. I don't think youre going to get a critique of the call from Len however even if he feels it wasn't the best.

Pat's been with WCUB for a while. I'm actually surprised we didn't hear a performance similar to the color guy in Major League.

• grow a moostache



question: how hard is it to not break out laughing when coomdawg smokes out the booth with a giant ass rip in the middle of a broadcast?



A perfect example was maybe10 days ago.. Addy runs way too far out in left field and ducks up a routine catch by Almora or Schwarber.. 2 runs score and him and JD say nothing.

It was Hawk Harrelson's birthday....

Yeah. I know Len is too classy to bus toss a colleague but that call grinds my gears. Mostly because the alternative is Joe Buck’s puberty voice cracking shit.

you've capitalized the R in real, so is it the Real Len Kasper like the Real in Real Madrid, aka the royal Len Kasper? =P

hey len, have you ever fucked with the football-proper/soccer? if so, what team does a worldly man like yourself go for? are there any arsenal fans on/around the cubs?

Len,

What’s your musical opinion of Hazardous Youth?

Is Hawk Harrelson the best announcer of all time or is he second to Vin Scully?

Thanks for your time amigo.

I have little reason to doubt JORR.

This is a momentous occasion. Thanks for stopping in, Len.

Poor Len must be bored out of his skull. :lol:

Len... have you sent hate mail to Chip Caray?
If not I highly recommend it. Its existential. I can help you get started if you'd like.

The hell with the baseball bullshit, Len. Cubs got this division and the playoffs are a crapshoot. We all know that. So we just gotta wait a couple months to see how it plays out. Nothing to talk about on that front.

What did you think about the recent moves at the SCORE, Len? Firing Goff and Spiegel for Mac and McDoink. Who do you hate most amongst those four? Did you think Goff talked too much social justice on a sports station? Do you and JD ever consider talking Social justice on Cubs games?

Also, what's the best road baseball city for strip clubs?

To be fair, it would help Len’s cause if he could create a moniker that doesn’t look like it came from 1997.

:lol: I wasn't being snotty, although I see how my "whatever" may have come off that way. I'm just telling the board that someone e-mailed me from Len's account confirming this was him as he requested. I suppose it could have been his wife or a well-trained dog, but I'm gonna say it was probably him.
