November 20, 200421 yr Len's message: Admin, I just wanted you to post on your site that while I am very excited to be heading to Chicago to be the new Cubs TV play-by-play announcer, I wanted to thank everyone for all their incredible support throughout my tenure with the Marlins.? I have mixed feelings because I really loved working here.? This was just an opportunity that was impossible for me to pass up.? I hope everyone understands.? Keep up the great work on the site. My reply: Len, Thanks for writing.? I posted that message on the site so everyone can see it.? We're going to miss you.? The games won't be the same but you made the right choice for you.? I'll make sure to check out Cubs games in '05 but I'll be rooting against them. Hope that we can keep in touch even though you've moved on.? It's another team but it's still baseball. Thanks for everything and good luck in Chicago. Talk to you soon, Admin
November 20, 200421 yr :boo-woo sucks, but there's no way i could expect anyone to turn down WGN just to broadcast marlins games.
November 20, 200421 yr Well, it was nice of him to write. I wish he would have stayed with the Marlins but wishing isn't going to get him back. But why the Cubs? Out of all the teams why the Cubs? He will be missed...... :tissue
November 20, 200421 yr He's still a good man. The fact that he would even care to send an email to some fans on a website says a lot about the guy especially since it was only a few hours after the decision was announced. He will be missed but best of luck in the future.
November 20, 200421 yr sorry, but what does everyone have against the Cubs? 617885[/snapback] They are evil.
November 20, 200421 yr sorry, but what does everyone have against the Cubs? 617885[/snapback] They're my second favorite team And congrats to Len. I'm sure he thought long and hard about the decision and he made the decision that was best for him and his family. Best wishes.
November 20, 200421 yr Hopefully Len will make a cameo when the Fish play the Cubs. 617896[/snapback] Pregame is the only thing I can imagine. Cubs likely wouldn't loan him during the game.
November 20, 200421 yr sorry, but what does everyone have against the Cubs? 617885[/snapback] The same reason that everyone here loves the Red Sox. They're irrational.
November 20, 200421 yr If we lose Pavs, Lo Duca, Benitez and not sign anyone I would still see this as the worst part of the offseason. There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling right now.
November 20, 200421 yr Len all i can say is thanks for the time you spent here. Enjoy yourself in Chicago, and thanks for everything you did during your time here. You will be missed!! :confused
November 20, 200421 yr He will become a beloved annoucer up here if the Cubs FO lets him speak his mind (which they sadly won't anytime soon). He's quite talented and I can't blame him for taking this job.
November 20, 200421 yr Oy.... Len, we will miss you tremendously. You did what you thought was best for you and all I can do is wish you the best.
November 20, 200421 yr sorry, but what does everyone have against the Cubs? 617885[/snapback] The same reason that everyone here loves the Red Sox. They're irrational. 617920[/snapback] I've always loved the Red Sox. And I've hated the Cubs for quite some time now. I just started really hating them when I saw and met their very unclassy fans.
