Cubs Announcer

Haven't seen many blogs comment on Bob Brenly possibly being hired..

The Cubs know they need a proven, high-profile TV analyst to replace highly popular Steve Stone, and Bob Brenly appears to be at the top of their wish list.

The former Arizona manager confirmed Friday that he has been contacted about filling the analyst vacancy in the WGN-Ch. 9 booth. Brenly has ties to the Cubs, having worked their games for WGN-AM in 1990 and 1991.


I lived in Arizona for awhile and Bob Brenly is extremely good in the both and a worthy replacement for Steve Stone. In my opinion the Cubs can't go wrong with him and well the Cubs owe it to us fans not to be stuck with the Joe Carter fiasco again.

I have confidence that most fans will be happy with Brenly if he is hired.
