October 23, 200421 yr Other voices who could be considered include Greg Brown (Pittsburgh Pirates), Dave O'Brien (New York Mets), Len Kasper (Florida Marlins), Matt Vasgersian (San Diego Padres), Don Sutton (Braves) and Daron Sutton (Milwaukee Brewers). While ideally, the Cubs and WGN would like to announce a play-by-play man soon after the World Series, Stone is not sure that will happen. He points out WGN's national status and the new Comcast SportsNet ? which will also televise Cubs games starting in 2005 ? have people in broadcast circles buzzing about the job. http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/ds.../pro/211sd5.htm
October 23, 200421 yr Author This one is even worse... As for the play-by-play post, it's early in the process and there are no finalists yet, but the only two legit names discussed so far appear to be Matt Vasgersian (Padres) and Len Kasper (Marlins), and the Padres insist Vasgersian will be back in San Diego next year, for whatever it's worth. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/col_rozn...?intid=38280205

October 23, 200421 yr OH MY GOD NO. We already lost Rosey, why must we be punished and lose Len as well? DON'T DO IT LEN!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously wouldn't blame him though because besides the money, he would be calling games on national TV every single night as opposed to just regionally with the Fish.
October 23, 200421 yr Author Come on FSN....pull some strings and keep Len. Get him and the Marlins some games on FOX Saturday Afternoons.
October 23, 200421 yr Author go ahead and do it Len, Im sure the money is worth it 599088[/snapback] actually....WGN is one of the poorer paying jobs...but the exposure is "good"

October 23, 200421 yr I didnt know Dave o Brien was with the Mets. 599158[/snapback] Me either, i thought he was working for ESPN. Len please stay doing play by play for the Florida Marlins! Dont go to the Scrubbies.!
October 23, 200421 yr Author More potential bad news: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/la/news/la_p...pr_la&fext=.jsp Looks like they are making room for Don Sutton and possibly Daron Sutton. That would be 2 birds the Cubs could aim at killed with one stone by Los Angeles.
October 23, 200421 yr Author Contingency in case this happens... DVH slides over to TV with Tommy and rotates with Boog every 3 innings on the radio side.
