The announcer left for good, the slugger left early and the Cubs just plain, left. On what should have been the relaxed, get ready for the long playoff grind, final game of the season, the Cubs packed things up and headed for home. In a way, the end of the season feels good. In the same way that it feels good when you stop hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.
You know things are bad when Sammy Sosa’s defense to the allegation that he left before the game even started was that he was there “until the seventh inning.” In street clothes. In the clubhouse. Well, that’s just so much better.
The Sun-Times sports page today is downright funny. Toni Ginetti has a piece on Chip Caray’s departure and the headline writer decided to go with the absurd “Bad news from Wrigley: Cubs lose Chip Caray.” That’s akin to the headline “Bad news from the Sun-Times: Paper loses Jay Mariotti.”
Mike Kiley has an article on Sammy and check out this quote from Sosa.
”I’m tired of being blamed by Dusty Baker for all the failures of this club,” Sosa said. ”I resent the inference that I’m not prepared. I live my life every minute every day to prepare for combat.”
Who here thinks Sammy knows what ‘inference’ means? Anybody? That quote wouldn’t hold up in court.
In Sammy’s mind he wasn’t in the lineup because he told Dusty he was hurt, so he wasn’t going to play. So leaving early (whether it was at 1:15 p.m. or 4 p.m.) wasn’t any big deal. Honestly, it’s like Sammy and Frank Thomas have the same travel agent.
What Sammy should have been around for was the show that Jason Dubois put on in right field. But that’s for another time. Because now we have all sorts of announcer news to sort out.
I got what I think is the real “skinny” on Steve Stone’s Friday afternoon meeting with Andy MacPhail, Jim Hendry and John McDonough. I tend to believe it, so I’ll pass it along for your consumption.
Stone found out on Thursday from his pal Chip that Chip was going to take the job in Atlanta, and Steve was angry because he didn’t feel the Cubs tried very hard to keep Chip (can you blame them?) and that WGN had decided not to exercise the option it had to match any offer Chip got. That, coupled with another Cubs late inning collapse sent Steve into a tizzy. He upset Dusty during the postgame interview so much that Dusty didn’t finish the interview. He just took off his headset and left. Then he went on Sports Central that night and went off on the Cubs again, this time infering that there was going to be a blockbuster change right after the season and that “the person who is leaving will be blamed, but it’s not his fault.”
MacPhail told McDonough the three of them needed to meet with Steve to “clear the air.” Hendry was included because he had publicly taken issue that morning with Steve’s remarks, claiming they were “personal” and not professional.
The meeting apparently went well, with Stone not backing down from his criticism of the players or Dusty and him not being told he couldn’t be critical. Hendry’s concern was that Steve’s charge that a “blockbuster” move was coming would make it sound like either Dusty was leaving or that Sammy would be traded, when in fact, the blockbuster was that Caray wasn’t coming back. That’s a blockbuster much in the way that your neighborhood video store is.
Odds are that there is no trade market for Sammy. The Mets rumors are, at least for the current time, without any merit. Just because Omar Minaya is supposedly in charge of player moves for the Mets now doesn’t mean he’s really going to be calling the shots. The Mets as an organization make the Bears’ operation look seamless. The Mets have at least four men who fancy themselves to be making the personnel decisions. Current “GM” Jim Duquette, owner’s son Jeff Wilpon, Minaya and meddling scout Al Goldis. Goldis apparently has the ear of Jeff Wilpon and a the support of Mets’ pitching coach Rick Peterson. Peterson holds a nearly absurd amount of influence with the Mets.
Minaya has the title to get the job done, and is technically Duquette’s boss, and is also expected to fire Goldis (who you may remember as Larry Himes’ lackey with the Cubs and the man who gave us Pat Cline), so things may clear up pretty quickly. But as for now, any Sammy to NY rumors are just sportswriters having fun.
Caray’s departure yesterday was actually very classily handled by the Chipster. He avoided several attempts by Stone to discuss it during the broadcast. Stone at one point seemed on the verge of tears and at the end, in the most uncomfortable moment in a season of uncomfortable moments, Steve told Chip he loved him.
As for the reasons behind Caray’s departure, Stone blames them entirely on the Cubs and their unwillingness to curtail players’ criticisms of Chip and Steve. A source familiar with both “Mercker incidents” claims that several Cubs’ players knew Caray’s contract was up and hoped that making Chip uncomfortable would be incentive enough for him to move on.
It’s hard to defend either of Mercker’s outbursts. The first, on a Cubs’ charter flight, consisted of Mercker calling Chip a motherf@#$er on at least six occassions, while no one from the Cubs’ organization had the sac to tell Kent to sit down. It could be that they agreed with him, but still, after the second MF, you can tell your exploding-headed-reliever to lighten up.
The second is the legendary phone call to the booth Mercker made during the Cubs’ August 28 loss to Roy Oswalt and the Astros during which an intern in the press box answered the phone, told Stone that Kent Mercker was on the phone for him and Stone now legendarily replied, “Who the f@#$ is Kent Mercker?”
And so, the question now becomes, “Who the f@#$ is the Cubs’ TV announcer?”
This is interesting because in the more than 50 years that WGN has been the Cubs’ primary TV outlet (and even though they share the coverage with ComCast Sports Net, WGN still hires the announcers with Cubs approval), this is the second time the lead play-by-play job has been open. Jack Brickhouse inherited the job at the beginning and only one time, the winter of 1981-1982 has the job ever been open. That’s when they hired Harry Caray away from the White Sox. You’ll remember that when the Cubs hired Chip in the 1997-98 offseason Harry was still pulsing, and Chip’s job was to work a limited number of games with Harry and do road games, while doing his Jeanne Zelasko job at Fox Sports. Harry died, Chip got the job and nobody ever got to apply.
The Cubs’ TV job is one of the most visible in the nation, therefore it’s very attractive. Rumors have persisted for years that Bob Costas has an interest in doing four or five years as a play-by-play man for a Major League team. The reason those rumors persist is because Costas is the one who brings them up.
It is not clear however if his current deal with HBO Sports (which includes his limited run talk show and 20 week run on Inside the NFL) would allow him to even negotiate with the Cubs on a full-time deal. It does however, seem likely that the Cubs and Costas will have conversations about the opening.
Other names sure to merit consideration include some of our mid-season suggestions for Chip’s replacement.
Pat Hughes: WGN Radio is loathe to break up Pat Hughes and Ron Santo, especially considering they promote Cubs’ games as the Pat and Ron show. Pat also has a face lovingly made for radio, and has almost no chance of even being seriously considered for the job.
Josh Lewin: He already impressed WGN and John McDonough enough to get hired by the Cubs once before. However, Harry Caray was upset that Chip didn’t get the job and set out to make Josh’s life miserable in his short stint with the team. Harry refused to allow Lewin to work the number of games and innings that Lewin was promised and the Cubs allowed Josh out of his contract after a year to go be the lead play-by-play announcer in Detroit. Lewin has since moved on to the Texas Rangers and is believed to have a contract that the Cubs could very easily buy out. Lewin is also over the dental problems he had last fall which gave him that hilarious lisp that we enjoyed during this post game interviews during the NLCS.
Thom Brennaman: Like his father before him, Thom never knew a bridge he couldn’t completely engulf in flames upon his departure. Thom has the same shot at the Cubs job as your or I do, but he doesn’t care. He’s got a cake gig in Arizona and with Fox, and if he’d really wanted a shot at being the lead Cubs play-by-play guy he would have never left in the first place. Harry was dying in front of his very eyes. Besides, Thom’s move was a great one for him. He left because WGN Radio wouldn’t give him time off to do NFL work for Fox. The year he left, Fox got baseball and Thom was set to become it’s secondary lead analyst.
DeWayne Staats: Staats left before Brennaman in a cash grab with the Yankees. He has since moved on to Tampa Bay where he and Joe Magrane are one of the best announcing tandems in the big leagues, even though nobody watches the Devil Rays. The bloom seems to be long off Staats’ rose. He doesn’t have much of a shot.
Daron Sutton: You’ve seen his name in both Chicago dailies, and we first touted him this spring. Coincidence? It’s not the first time something on Desipio has cropped up, unattributed in one of the Chicago papers. Sutton is very good, and seems poised to move on to a real market. This one has a real chance.
Matt Vasgersian: Vasgersian tried to torpedo his own career with a bad Fox Sports Net game show and the XFL, but he’s now in line to replace Ross Porter with the Dodgers. Amazing. Oh, and he’s the guy Sutton replaced in Milwaukee.
Ted Robinson: The Notre Dame alum is the former TV voice of the Giants and currently splits time between the Mets and NBC. Ted’s good, non-annoying and appears to be available considering the Mets are expected to increase…
Dave O’Brien‘s role on their broadcasts. You remember Dave, right? The good news is that he doesn’t like Chip, though.
Sean McDonough: If I had my choice, it’d be Sean, who calls a great game and only works one game a week for the Red Sox where he and Jerry Remy are the Pat and Ron of Boston, only both are coherent. McDonough does college football for ABC (with former Bear Ed Cunningham) and might not be interested in doing more than one game per week. He seems to have a cushy gig with the Red Sox, that he likes.
Dan Shulman: If I had to guess who will actually get the job, I’m guessing Dan Shulman. He left the Blue Jays after the ’03 season to increase his work at ESPN (where he’s a frequent Dick Vitale partner) in both college basketball and baseball. He was widely considered the best “young” broadcaster in the game while in Toronto and left to try and position himself for a prime gig like the Cubs. ESPN is grooming to replace Jon Miller as the Sunday Night Baseball announcer when Miller finally decides to hang it up, but that could be a looooong time. Besides, why would Shulman want to work with the Anti-Christ, Joe Morgan?
Jim Tocco: Fresh off a stint with the Montgomery Biscuits, this cloying little assbag would be the perfect replacement for Chip. It’d be almost like Chip never left.

The Cubs won’t pay more than $21 million to get rid of Sammy. They owe him $17mm for 2005 and a $4mm severance if they release him in 2006. While they can probably spread the hit over 2 years, they should be able to offload at least $10 million per year.
If they can, do it. For an IOU for a bag of balls.
Excellent work on the list of replacements, Andy. Curious as to why you think Staats has "no shot." Because he’s far down the list? Or something else?
I thought I went after Stone on the charter flight, and not Chippy?
We’re going to a 3 man booth in 2005!

Miss a little, miss a lot.
Hey, Andy
What about me as the announcer of the Cubbies?
How set in stone is Sammy’s contract? Now that it appears he wants the trade, is there any leeway in re-negotiating the contract with a new team (much in the way that the Red Sox tried with A-Rod)?
Any leeway must be approved by the union. The MLBPA does not want any player "giving money back" to a team. Now, with Sammy only guaranteed $21mm, there may be some room to manouever. I doubt it, tho, as the union is ruthless.

Sorry for the double post. When I clicked "post" I got a new popup window. Never happened before. I thought I got a virus or something.
You can’t renegotiate the deal. That’s why I’m not a Red Sock.
The Cubs will have to pay. And, the extra year is automatic if traded, so Sammy couldn’t even promise to not exercise it.
Go away, A Rod.
I give props to Stoney for saying what he said about Baker and this team. Somebody actually went to bat for the fans’ feelings and it was Steve Stone. Those big wigs need to be reprimending the players for escalating arguments with the team’s announcers too. The players need to stick to the game of baseball first and get their job done, before they go mouthing off to some announcer that is deservingly jumping their ass for not getting the job done.
What’s with the new window’s openning?
Why would I want Sammy?
I will just shoot myself now if Mike Hall is the Cubs’ announcer next year.
God, I don’t see why he’s popular. He’s annoying, his voice isn’t that good, and he has this smirk on his face half the time that’s just ridiculous.
I know it isn’t likely, but I had to get this off my chest.
What do we do now Andy? The Bears are on their way to 3-13 and the Bulls are going to be horrible. Northwestern football might be the only team worth watching for a while. I guess we’ll have to wait until Illini hoops starts up to get those Desipio GameCasts back…
December 1 at home against Wake Forest… Both teams will probably be in the top five to seven heading into that game… That’s going to be a good one…
Also, forgot to add that if the Cubs can’t find anyone to take the TV job, it’s possible they get Andy Masur to do it.
Although the Cubs would have to be really desperate or against the clock to do that.
Maybe I can take the job.
I wounder if I’ll be running out to left, or right, field next year.
I know one candidate you failed to mention, but that I back completely.

None of the analysis of Stone and Caray was close to what Reds announcer Marty Brennaman aimed at the Cubs on Sunday on WLW-radio in Cincinnati.
"I used to be a Cubs fan, but no more," Brennaman said. "They are the most alibi-ingest, whiniest, crying-est bunch of excuse makers I’ve ever seen, and they got their just due."

Let’s not forget that Hendry pulled off the dumping of Todd Hundley’s contract in exchange for two short-term pacts (Gudz and Karros). I think he can do the same this year if he’s willing to take back a contract and/or eat some of the money of Sammy’s.
I don’t see any way Sanmmy returns in 2005. He has forced the Cubs’ hand and, in turn, guaranteed himself a lot of cash in 2006. Hard Bake has finally had enough. I’m not a big Dusty fan, but this mess was created long before he got here.
As for the announcing situation, Josh Lewin sounded like Sylvester the Cat clear back when he was with the Cubs. The lisp is nothing new. I could not imagine another year with him. I read Dan Roan’s name mentioned somewhere this morning, but that doesn’t seem like much of an improvement. And B.C. is drunk if he thinks Andy Masur is even a long-shot. Masur does a good job as a reporter, but he is really weak at play-by-play.
How about me? I was honing my play-by-play skills Saturday doing the NIU game for Comcast in DeKalb.
Please get me the fuck away from that meta-bozo Joe Morgan. I’ll work for free!
"You can put it on the board! I gone! Time to grab some bench in the Cubs booth! Yes!"
Aw, who am I kidding?
HOLY TOLEDO! Now that all of the Carays are outta there, I can take back what was rightfully mine to begin with.
I have an idea: we can do this on the cheap by having a celebrity play-by-play announcer every game. We did it when Harry had his stroke, and we have done a successful guest conductor program. We can simply extend to the guest conductor the privilege of calling the game they sing at.
The best part, we don’t have to spend $400K on anyone!
What do you think, Trib suits?
How about the currently locked-out Pat Foley? He’s the best announcer in hockey and filled in admirably for Harry back in the day?
I’d love to do play by play
Hi, mom. Thanks for the concern. But I haven’t been around for a few hours.
Can you babysit this weekend? Sammy Sosa needs someome to watch him.
I nominate myself. I’d work for less than six figures, and I promise to get more laughs than the Chipster. We were born in the same year, but I promise we don’t have the same vocabulary.
Let Kent Mercker call me a f**ker…see how he’d be able to eat corn on the cob with no f**king teeth!
Great Dose, Andy, other than no love for my Wildcats, the best college football team in Illinois. We’ll settle the NIU-NU debate early next season in Evanston.
We are NOT going to get Carlos Beltran. We are NOT going to keep Nomar. We MIGHT get Renteria, which would be ok.
This is what I see for 2005:
2B: Walker
SS: Renteria
3B: Ramirez
1B: Lee
LF: Drew
RF: Sosa
CF: Patterson
C: Barrett
If the Trib really wants to make it interesting, they should specifically fill the announce position to piss off the rest of the team. The best way to do that? Move Stone to play by play and hire Jimmy Piersall to be his sidekick. They’d be brawling on the team charter by May.
Peter Gammons, on with Dan Patrick, said that Carlos Beltran will be the Cubs #1 target this offseason. Yes, Sloth, I don’t believe it will happen either.
He also blamed the late collapse on Sosa and one other player.
Chuck, while it sounds like Gammons making up rumors again, I thought the same thing during July when Gammons suddenly announced on baseball tonight that the Cubs were trying to trade for Nomar Garciaparra.
As long as we’re making up wacky scenarios regarding Sammy Sosa and next year’s lineup, here’s mine:
The Yankees will sign Carlos Beltran. Once that happens, they’ll have 7-8 outfielders under contract on the big league club. How about a 2 for 1 deal to reduce that number? Cubs trade Sosa, but only if they get Hideki Matsui (the left handed, line drive hitting, on base guy that we lack) and then we’ll take either Kenny Lofton or Bernie Williams off their hands. If we take Bernie, the Cubs don’t pay any money on Sosa’s contract, as they’d actually be raising the payroll. Obviously, we’d rather have Lofton though, as a short term solution to our lead off man problem.
I may have the voice and face best suited for radio, but I am far and away the best option for TV. If only old stubby would retire, they’d move me up for sure.
Please God, don’t stick us with Lofton or Bernie. How about a guy born after Ike was president?
How about this, Cubs fans?
Sammy + $8 million per year for two years for Cliff Floyd and whatever’s left of Al Leiter. You can do whatever you want with Cliffy. Release him, let him nap on your DL, whatever.
You’ll still have cash left over to do this:
2b Walker (L)
ss Nomar
3b Aramis
rf Drew (L)
1b Lee
lf Floyd (L)/Hollandsworth (L)/Dubois
cf Patterson (L)
c Barrett
p Prior, Zambrano, Wood, Leiter, Maddux
bp Rusch, Remlinger, Farns, LaTroy, Regular Joe, Leicester
There ought to be players and or cash left over to go find a closer.
I’m a free agent!
Hey #45, I’m right handed.
The Yanks need pitching. They may be first, and last, in line for Abe Clement.
I want no part of Lofton or Bernie. On the Wood angle I saw CZD talk about, I wouldn’t mind seeing Wood depart for Soriano.
I’d be great on the Cubs. I hear they need more high K/low BB guys.
Yes, that’s why you don’t have a (L) next to your name, there Jason.
Chuck, you just want somebody else to rip on.

BA – .280

Well, I think I’ll stive have Korey to kick around for a while.
But there does need to be a long term solution at second. Harris is gone, Lewis was supposedly hurt quite badly at the end of the year and is questionable for next year.
If you want one each of Nomar/Edgar and Beltran/Drew, money needs to be freed up. If Sosa can’t go, then perhaps Wood can.
What’s the over/under on when Sanjay H starts weighing in with his options to the Wizard of Roz?
Whoops. Forget what I said about Soriano. I had no idea he was up to $7.4 million.
Bad idea. Like falling in the mud and getting kicked, in the head. With an iron boot. Sorry Ted, that’s a dumb statement.
I didn’t say I wanted Bernie or Kenny, but face it, if you’re trading a giant bag of crap, you’re probably going to have to take some of the other guy’s crap back in return.
Soriano? That guy makes Corey look patient and Walker look sure handed.
I’m only 30. Sign me for three years and Lewis can take his sweet assed time.
Lewis broke his leg. Now it sounds like he may make it back in time for spring training. Still not a lock to make the team though.
I guess I am out for the year? Funny, that first day I was hurt, I was 50/50 to pinch-hit.
That’s OK, Todd. I was supposed to be back in time to play in the first Cubs series.
Now I’m at home hoping my knee heals…ever.
I’m on The Score talking about how Sammy is LYING!!!
It is unlikely Magglio will ever play again. You just don’t recover from a bone marrow poisoning and play baseball again, you know?
In my medical opinion, years of steroid abuse will lead to Sammy Sosa’s brittle spine snapping in two within 2 years time. Most likely as a member of the NY Mets, as he throws a lollipop in to the infield from RF, missing the cutoff man, and hitting the Mo Vaughn Memorial Throne in the NY dugout for a 2-base error.
Shortly thereafter, Sosa regales the assembled media with the story of a gladiator in ancient Rome who once snapped his back in two as well, but continued to fight on as the battle raged.
Of course, he wasn’t very effective in battle. With a broken back. Fighting with spears and swords. But I digress.
Would Sammy play for me? I might be next in line for the managerial job in NY.

Actually, I thought I made it pretty clear Masur was one of the LAST options the Cubs could have…
"Although the Cubs would have to be really desperate or against the clock to do that."
The people who are posting 2005 Cubs lineups that include Hollandsworth and Dubois in the outfield and no major additions to speak of have apparently not been watching the team the past couple years. If they don’t get big names, I’ll be shocked. This is the Yankees Midwest, now, in terms of acquisitions. They’ve got a legit shot at Beltran and anybody else.
I can’t wait to be in the everyday lineup under Dusty Baker next year! He just loves giving young positional players like me tons and tons of at-bats. Count on it, Cubs fans!
Hey #24, who starts during the 120 days I spend on the DL?
Dusty absolutely LOVES me. You just know I’m coming back. You know it!
Hey #24, who closes during the 120 days I spend on the DL?
Hey everybody, who starts during the 120 days I spend on the DL?
Hey Buddies,
It was fun when we were perennial losers. I don’t like this idea of having to win when it counts. I’m gonna leave early today. You guys cool with that? I hope so, cause 17 mil just isn’t enough to play smart when it counts.
You know, we can come in handy for Nos. 70, 71 and 72. Insomnia can be treated.

Hence, it will be found that the fundamental fault of the female character is that it has no sense of justice. This is mainly due to the fact, already mentioned, that women are defective in the power of reasoning and deliberation; but it is also traceable to the position which Nature has assigned to them as the weaker sex. They are dependent not upon strength, but upon craft, and hence their instinctive capacity for cunning, and their incredible tendency to say what is not true. by sim slots
