Thanks Ogie for breaking this news. Not like there aren’t any other threads about it here.

my threads are more fun though.

The idea of Chris Meyers doing Cubs games on TV is insulting. I would hope that it would be a more open competition. Even Andy Mazur would be better.

Fortunately, the MLB feed on Roku lets me watch the away TV feed or either radio feed synced up.

who cares. they'll just bring in another bland announcer. a dime a dozen to choose from.

Uh, Kasper sucks. This isn’t much of a troll to Cubs fans.

The current reaction on Cub Twitter says otherwise

Oh, Twitter. Well that just proves he sucks.

cubs twitter and cubs reddit are a bunch of fucking morons.

you should have seen /chicubs on reddit yesterday with the Schwarber news. You'd think they cut Babe Ruth.

Ogie please tell me you don’t actually like Kasper. I like you but that would make me like you less. He’s as worthless of an announcer as I can possibly think of.

I know we don't want to speak ill of the dead, but Farmer was pretty terrible and Masur was meh.

I'll say, I like Len as an interview. Seems like a cool dude.

Let me guess, you loved Hawk?

There is nobody under 60 broadcasting radio who has the meatball personality you want.

Good point. It's a shame that the White Sox either didn't try to convince him or couldn't have convinced him to come back. I think that Dave and Andy are the best radio duo going right now, since Josh Levin left the Mets as Howie Rose's sidekick.

If Keith Olbermann doesn't like me, I would feel better about myself

He had an affair with one of his assistants, who threatened to go public with it, so he called her bluff and went public with it himself right on the Late Show.

I don't care much for Kasper, but Farmer was...not...good.

Farmer was a universally loved human being who should never have had to do PBP when John Rooney left. He had a lot of weird-ass speaking quirks, did Farmer.

Lots of times driving home from my parents' home at night, I'd put on Ed and DJ just to hear them bitch at each other for 20 minutes. But I usually had no idea what was going on with the game.

Farmer was only good if you wanted to know about golf, Notre Dame, or St Rita's during a baseball broadcast

Why was Reinsdorf obsessed with former players doing play-by-play, and why was Jason Benetti the one who made him stop?
