Am I just really tired, or was that one of the most poorly written stories ever? Sure the message was nice, but I found myself lost a few times.

len rulez.

[Electron Blue]

haven't read the article yet, but . . . I love Len!

[javy knows my name]

I had forgotten he was an MU grad. Makes him that much more awesome.

[rocket]

len is indeed awesome. chip and stone leaving was the best thing to happen to the cubs

That picture looks like Len is about to be initiated by Harry's microphone.

In response to Bob, yeah, it was an average article. Dragged on a little and while describing a scene and painting a pitcure for the reader is nice, who cares what color shirt he was wearing? Sorry, journalist critique.

 

I did like the overall point of the article, though. And I love that picture.

"He's the most prepared broadcaster I've ever seen. He works the clubhouse just like the beat writers do, if not more so," said Carrie Muskat,

oh, I could probably go a few places with this, but I'll take the high road.... :D

There's a link to a sweet gallery of old school pics of Wrigley in that story.

so what are the 5 albums len picked out?!?!?

[ConstableRabbit]

I don't really understand the Len love. He's alright I guess... I find his voice to be really annoying -- especially when he's excited.

 

I guess it's hard to not compare him to Pat.

It seems a lot harder to actually attempt to compare them, since they're completely different.

Other than the fact that they're both play by play guys for the Chicago Cubs.

That's about the only thing.

Well, apparently, his "comparison" is that Len Kasper sucks and Pat Hughes is awesome. Isn't that good enough?

 

(Note - Len is awesome)

It's not a mutually exclusive proposition. They both can be, and in fact are, awesome.

 

(that's not directed at you David)

I just wanted to say that I agree completely with you guys

Thanks. Pat Hughes is a hall-of-fame broadcaster and in my opinion, one of the best in the game. Len is just okay, especially when compared to the Cubs' play-by-play man (HUGHES).
