I bet the Sox and the Score were all smiles when Hub thought it would be a great idea for 670 to land the Cubs. Might be hard to find open air time with 162 Sox games a year already.

I think Kerry will get it.

I think Kerry will get it.

 

Is it something he has talked about in the past, I could see him not wanting to go back on the baseball travel schedule with the young kids at home.

If Wood is not interested, I'd like to see them go after Steve Sparks (color guy for Astros radio).

[Wilson A2000]

That's right take everything good that the Astros have left and bring it to Chicago

I've paid extremely little to this, but really? Theriot is a candidate?

LOL, god no. Any of Wood, DeRosa or Glanville are all solid choices imo. DeRosa was always a good interview when he was on the team, iirc. Letting Hughes do a Scully type thing where he's the only, or even the only guy most of the time with maybe having color guys stop in every few innings or games, would be fine by me too.

The possibility of Andy Masur coming aboard means Judd Sirott is probably out.

 

Hollandsworth would be an interesting choice.

Not to steal TT's bit, but ugh, no Vin Scully.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

DeRosa, please.

[Sammy Sofa]

Come on, that Theriot thing has to be completely made up, right? Talk about kicking someone when they're down...

[treebird]

theriot went out of his way to talk about how he loved the cardinals and the cubs sucked, there's no way we're giving him a new paying job unless it's kissing an elephant's ass

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Where the hell are we going to find an elephant on such short notice? I'd listen to the radio broadcasts every day if they hire DeRosa.

Agreed about Hollandsworth. Why does Masur mean that Sirott is not being considered?

[Guest]

Is interesting the word filter for shitty (rhymes with kitty).

[Guest]

Seriously, why hasn't Hollandsworth been completely [expletive] on yet?

 

You guys also Kaplan fans?

As bad as Hollandsworth is, the Theriot rumor pretty much trumps anyone and everyone.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I assumed it was sarcasm. Hollandsworth is terrible and would be a terrible choice.

Of all familiar, capable names on @PWSullivan list of candidates for Cubs radio analyst I'd start with Hollandsworth.

DeRo to MLB Network. He was Cubs' business department's top choice for radio gig. #next

Lord only knows what the Cubs were offering to pay him with.

[Guest]

I was hoping for DeRo. Oh, well. I fear that Kerry Wood talking too much will meatball his way into tainting my love for him.

[CincyCubsFan]

His idiotic meatball opinions aside, I can't understand how Hollandsworth even has a job on radio with that awful stammer. I can't listen to it for more than a few seconds without changing the channel.
