It actually doesn't make any sense for the Cubs to NOT give someone #21 unless they plan on retiring it. And we know how stingy they are on retiring numbers....

[David]

I like Murph. Just like listening to my uncle. Just a crazy Cubs fan on the radio. Atleast he ain't like booers and dumbstein who when getting in an arguement calls his callers dumb and morons and thinks he is RIGHT no matter how many times he is wrong, and cuts off his callers so he can call them MORONS.

 

Boers and Bernstein are awesome. The only redeeming quality of that station is that show. Really, it's just Bernsie, Boers just sits there and laughs like a hyena at his own dumb jokes. The rest is all garbage...

 

Although, I will say, that it disappoints me that Bernstein, who is a very smart guy, is unfortunately caught up in baseball conventional wisdom like seemingly everyone in the media. I expect more out of him.

No matter how stingy they are, the best hitter in franchise history (and that's saying something) deserves to have his number retired.

 

With the organization's disposition toward Sammy, I doubt they will, and that's an absolute disgrace.

For the record, #21 should be retired.

 

There's really no reason not to do it.

 

It definitely should be retired before #31 is.

In about 5 years they will think about it and in 10 years they will do it. Time heals wounds.

We need a poll of who is worse, Murph or North.

 

I am going to say North is worse because he is a Sox fan :)

Has there been anyone since Sosa that previously wore or requested #21? And just to keep this on topic, Murph's a moron.

That's sadly debatable. North is actually a much better interviewer. Both have idiotic opinions, and both go on nonsensical rants, but Murphy interviewing someone is a waste of time.

I can listen to Murph, I can't listen to North. North has the worst show I've ever heard. He doesn't talk sports, its ALL commercials. North actually makes me made when I hear his voice. Why he gets so much credit in the radio industry I'll just never understand.

North actually has a "rants" bits...can you believe that? Let's have a bit where he just talks fast about anything....like WE CARE! God I hate Mike North.

Agreed, I used to listen to WSCR in the morning on the ride to work. Not anymore. North is a jerk while Murph is just an idiot. Murph wins.
