Thoughts on Chip Caray, Dave O'Brien
Wednesday, June 2, 2004
The Cubs lost another game today. Roger Clemens pitched pretty well, and Matt Clement faded late. The Cubs lost 1-5, as the offense continues its early summer sabatical.
Because I live out of the Chicago market, but not far enough away to watch the games live on the internet, I watched the game on ESPN. (About half the country is in the official black out zone, but can't get Fox Sports Net games on cable.) I have finally figured out the solution to the Cubs TV broadcasting issues. Chip Caray, whose contract runs through this year, should be replaced (I had been waffling on this point because I didn't have a replacement in mind.) Your new broadcaster should be... Dave O'Brien. Watching the game today, I just wanted to have he and Rick Sutcliffe call all the games. WGN could do it too, pull a three man booth with O'Brien calling games and Stoney and Sutcliffe doing color.
My friend, Chris, has advocated a Stoney and Sutcliffe booth, beliving Steve Stone could manage the limited needs for a play by play man on TV, and the two could talk baseball. I wouldn't mind that either.
