Cubs on TV
Got a chance to see the game yesterday, the very first one on WGN this year with the new broadcasters, Len Kasper and Bob Brenly. The game itself was anticlimactic. After all, it's spring training. But it was cool to see Maddux pitch, along with Nomar (who went 3-3 with a 2B and a HR). As for the announcers: it's weird. After listening to Steve Stone my whole life wither with Harry or Chip, this is very weird. Bob Brenly is the worst. He is the classis example of a guy who probably doesn't do as much reading of what's going on as the hardcore fans and so he seems ignorant at times. Much the way Fox broadcasters do about the teams they are covering in a Nationally broadcasted game. Which is OK, those aren't "their" teams, but this was pretty bad. Kasper, who I had never heard before, was pretty good. At least he was trying and he did his homework. But Brenly is awful, I don't like him at all.

One of the weirdest things was to hear them referring to the Cubs as "they," which is good because if they started to say "we" right away I would be even more upset. I guess that will come with time. And it's good that Kasper made some jokes a couple times about them being "the new guys," so he's not just trying to ignore the whole thing.

So Kasper good, Brenly bad. Cubs look good.

DuBois didn't start but hit a homerun in the ninth - he leads the team with three...
