Full statement

 

[Andy]

This is great news. Boog and Joe Davis were the only 2 guys that didn't represent, for me, a big step down from Len.

[jersey cubs fan]

sorry you're late

[UMFan83]

Nice! I know him and Len are really friendly towards each other. I hope Len did the team a solid on the way out and helped him get the job. Finally some good news this offseason.

[SeldomSeen]

Oh, horsefeathers yes!

 

I hated to see Len go, but Boog was #1 on my list of replacements. How un-Ricketts like.

[David]

finally some cubs related news that isn't terrible.

Buried in the release is Deshaies was sacrificed to the gods

Mike McCarthy's quote in the release is very thirsty

 

"tons of people wanted this job and it's obvious why since we are great"

So chris Myers will probably get a ton of time anyway

i figured if we got him we'd have to deal with myers for some percentage of games. 30ish is about my maximum but I can deal with that.

Hot take: this is an upgrade.

Hot take: this is an upgrade.

If there is a guy that could be, Boog is probably it.

 

Every time I've ever heard him call a game, he's had great rapport with whoever the color guy is, so I'm as excited for Boog and JD fun as I am for him actually calling games.

Grace is not mentioned in the press release with the other on-air talent (they also called Ryan Sweeney Mike Sweeney)

[UMFan83]

This is legitimately funny

Hot take: this is an upgrade.

I love Len, but Boog is just as good and might even be a tiny bit better. Everyone is happy now, with both sides of town having outstanding broadcasters in both the TV and Radio booths. Now let's get back to scrounging up pennies to afford a league minimum middle reliever to fill out the roster.

not really a hot take. at worst it's a lateral move.

Yeah to me the thing that makes this so exciting is how fun he is. There are announcers who are better (though not many), but not many who bring much color to the broadcast. Him and JD is going to be a horsefeathering blast.

horsefeathering [expletive] that this thread title isn't "they picked Boog"
