i think you guys are thinking of that saluki guy from 2015ish

this is a ridiculous comparison, andy masur is a nobody who started doing radio for the sox in 2018. i don't care for pat hughes but his status is on a completely different level. The point I'm making is that especially at the MLB level, broadcast jobs are in short supply and in order to get your dream gig you'll likely need to be cutthroat to some degree. I don't know that Len would have taken the Cubs radio job this year under these circumstances, but I find the 'Pat is a legend, he would NEVER' to be short of 100% convincing. well nevermind i was wrong LOL consider me firmly 100% in the camp that len would never want anything to do with a plan that could even conceivably be construed as him forcing out pat hughes.

He was okay with doing it to Andy Masur, so there's clearly a line that can be crossed even if he may not have done it for Pat. this is a ridiculous comparison. i don't care for pat hughes but his status is on a completely different level. i'm pretty sure tt was making a joke at andy masur's expense (and a little bit of a semi-troll playing off of his feelings on pat)

I’m more interested in learning more about how little the Cubs will get your attention *this time*. You could spend tens and tens of hours reading and posting about them in 2022 but this could be the last straw as well! not sure if you're mistaking me for Kyle or something. I never said I'm quitting them cold turkey. I had already cancelled my mlbtv subscription this past year. I'm not sure how much chatting about them on this website matters, but I've spent a lot more time on non-cubs threads. yeah. i dropped my season tickets a couple years ago. this feels like it's the only cubs related thread i've posted in more than 1 or 2 times since march. i never would've imagined i'd get to this level of apathy about this team within 4 years of 2016 and they're only pushing me away further.

from what i understand, sharma reported him as being the favorite, but i think gordo reported that it will be him. there's been no official announcement yet, though.

pat seems like a great guy and i like what i know of him as a person/personality. i have a few complaints about him as a PBP guy at this point, but it could be SO much worse. that said, i don't like coomer at all (and i've heard him make some mildly snarky comments that make me think he might be a covid truther - or maybe he's just pissed that they want to close his bar - so that's cool) so overall i kinda dislike our radio broadcast. the back and forth between them is entertaining, though. i just don't think coomer provides much good insight and also sounds like a goofy country bumpkin.
-
Is Chip available? i'd prefer that over myers by a longshot, and that is saying a LOT
-
My hottest in the moment take is that if Len wanted to do radio so badly then they should've put Pat(who has very much lost his fastball) out to pasture. i don't disagree, but they'd never do that (and len would probably want nothing to do with forcing him out) aren't you my anti-vin scully buddy too?
-
my first instinct would have been to think it was longer, but i also wouldn't know the exact year harry started with the cubs without looking it up.
-
again, if len really wants to just nerd out and wanted to do radio without having to uproot his family and this was just a timing thing, so be it. if that's what he wants, he should do whatever makes him happy. i tend to, like others, suspect that all the nonsense going on with the Cubs had at least something to do with nudging him that way, but maybe it really is just the opportunity presenting himself. whatever. but please let these idiots not make the same mistake the white sox did with TLR and ignore the immediate backlash for what is so obviously a terrible choice. do not horsefeathering give this job to chris myers.

I don't know why anyone 'likes' anything on Twitter. If I like something enough to signal I like it, I'll retweet it. If I don't like it enough to retweet it, or don't want people seeing that I like it, then I shouldn't be clicking the button anyway. this is a weird take. if my friend (or even some random person i follow) makes a tweet that i thought was funny or tweets about something cool that happened to them or something, i can like it without wanting to share the actual tweet with whoever the hell follows me. there are plenty of situations where a like makes more sense than an RT and vice versa.

i've seen kolten wong to the cubs speculation if you really want to get ding dong johnson riled up.
-
this is dumb as horsefeathers why the hell is he obligated to put up with dumb horsefeathers he doesn't like at work if he doesn't have to? that makes him a child? FOH and i'm pretty sure he never complained about the suits publicly (and even sorta did the opposite). if he had a problem with it, he has every right to look elsewhere and it's none of your damn business why he was or wasn't happy with his work environment.
-
i'm sad about len but i'm far more pissed about myers at least hire someone horsefeathering good and not that ass clown
-
what the horsefeathers!?
-
obviously just workout footage but he looks pretty skilled here
-
It seems that he had more upside than most in this draft. Since it is a weak draft why not take a high upside guy? Correct
-
I don't really see how it's fair to be livid. Also most of those people at realGM are insane. Toolsy guy we took fourth overall in a very weak draft. Who knows. We'll see what happens.

Not sure what you mean. Maybe that Bill Walsh quote was treated as gospel more than it should have but i never expected him to last longer than 1 more season. It makes sense given where the Cubs are at that he would leave now. Maybe he would have stayed if the Cubs were spending like they should be, but I'd guess not. Fake edit: Or do you mean PTR caused the ending to the Theo era to be disappointing? i mean that if this team were still winning and TV money were coming in and PTR hadn't chickened out of spending after what happened with heyward (at best, if you give him this much credit), this wouldn't be happening. if this team were still making deep playoff runs and had healthy and big cash flow like the dodgers, there's not a chance in hell this would be happening. he'd be here at least as long as he could collect some more rings. that quote was a convenient line to throw in to address jumping off a sinking ship (which is what he's doing now, as he should), not him laying out the rest of his career.

agree
-
hey now he left us brennen davis like he left the red sox mookie
-
Bummer. Really thought things would end differently, but PTR really leaned in and went full PTR and that was the nail in the coffin.

the way this season has gone, i'm glad i consider all these pandemic seasons to be fake so my emotional investment is minimal. it's just mindless entertainment for me when they actually play the games, and after those 3 hours i don't care at all. is this how casual fans do sports fanning? fantasy and the occasional sports bets are the only things getting me emotionally invested in games at all this year. it's almost a relief my teams suck rn. example - i kinda would've hated if the Cubs had broken the drought this year (granted, at least football is playing something resembling a full season).
