And Queen Mamarah, every broadcast team needs a ‘company man’….

Bob and Len make a good team.

Glad to hear it. Also means he won’t be going to MIlwaukee as a manager next year when Yost gets canned if they don’t make the playoffs.

I think Len and Bob might be here for the long haul. Same with Hughes.

I personally enjoy his style and his humor and think that He and Kasper make an excellent combo in the booth.

One thing that I’d like to see Kasper do is change his HR call up a little. But BB is an excellent color guy given he was after all a WS winning manager.

But I really like them now. I signed up for MLB.tv this year and before they let you choice which teams broadcast to watch you got stuck with usally the home teams broadcasters and listing to some of the awful broadcaster out there makes you relize how good Len & Bob are. The Reds team for example spend a lot of the broadcast talking about how much they hate the Cubs and thier fans. Len and Bob are respectful of the other team and thier fans

I used to turn the volume down and listen to Ron & Pat, but with the timing between the radio and my TV so far off, I was only mildly disappointed to have to listen to the TV broadcasters. I’ve grown to like Len & Bob quite a bit. Now I’m only really aggravated when I have to listen to ESPN broadcasters. I also liked Steve Stone and Caray. I just read the Stone will be joining Hawk Harrelson in the TV broadcast booth next year. That will be a true homer btoadcast. Talkative, too.

They appear to be the only Chicago newspaper to report this story in their Sunday edition.

I checked the sites of the Trib and Sin-Times but didn’t find any mention.

more than anyone elses, as he has played the game and managed the game, each with success. And for what it’s worth, I think that having been a catcher allows Bob to offer a better quality of insight than the average washed-up outfielder or relief pitcher.

This news was overshadowed by Stone joining Hawk in the TV booth for Sox games (which I think is a great pairing; Stone should provide a calming effect to contrast Hawk’s heart-on-his-sleeve emotional outbursts).

I was getting a little nervous that he might be leaving after this year. It was an adjustment period with this guys the first year, but now Len and Bob are great together.

I love Len and Bob.

Bob is a great color guy.

out by the crybabies. While he’s not quite the Nostradamus Steve often is, I find that Brenly is a good listen, and he makes appropriate criticism often enough that I wouldn’t call him a company man. Len, on the other hand, he’s been annoying me to no end with his “impending doom” calls during the recent slump – he was totally giving me that 1969 feeling.

Stone will do fine with the Hawkeroo, he was good with Harry pre-stroke, did great work with that month and a half of guest announcers, and then helped Harry along through the rest of his career. There’s no shame for DJ getting replaced by the top color man in baseball.

I think all 3 are in for the long haul.

Len and Bob had some big shoes to fill because so many fans worshipped Steve Stone and Chip was Harry’s grandson. A lot of fans were determined to hate them.

Pat Hughes is the best broadcaster in this city. Even Sox fans like him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all 3 are still here in 15 years.

Anyone else hear a rumor Santo might retire if the Cubs win the world series or really severely cut back his schedule?

Anyone remember how bad Joe Carter was for his brief stay?

At first it was very awkward but they have become a very enjoyable listen.

I think Bob will be managing somewhere before this new contract is over.
