Sutcliffe could be very good. I would love that hire! He's good on ESPN, and has very significant ties to Cubs history.
MLB: Bob Brenly leaving Cubs

Bob Brenly is going to the Arizona booth with Steve Berthuiame (sp?) from ESPN doing the play-by-play. The official announcement is going to come some time in early November since Steve is currently hosting Baseball Tonight through the World Series.
I'll miss Bob. He was a fan of the team, but told it like it was. One of the biggest things, I think, is that Len and Bob had great chemistry together as a broadcast team. You could put the best play-by-play guy and the best color analyst together, but if they don't have a rapport, it won't work.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want Steve Stone back. Something I read said that Stone doesn't really get along with Harrelson over at the White Sox, but he still has something like one or two years left on his contract. Sutcliffe, Hollandsworth, Wood, Glanville....I'd be okay with any one of those four.
And I'll end with Bob's favorite six words....
"Yes dear, you're right, I'm sorry..."

He'd be great. I don't know if he'd give up doing Sunday night baseball but he'd be my #1 choice.
I find it amusing that people don't think Mark Grace should be considered because he had a DUI. Lord Harry Carry was sloshed half the time he did a broadcast.:wacko:
Now if Gracy said some dumb things about the Cubs after he left, that's a different story. That's too bad. He was really loved a lot when he was in town.

The first thing he said in front of a mic/camera after his D-Back team won the Series in 2001....the FIRST THING HE SAID....was a disparaging remark about the Cubs and their management not thinking he was good enough to be part of the team. Grace will not be on the Cubs' broadcasting team.

That was mainly MacPhail, who is long gone from the organization. Grace has been back for the 7th inning stretch and Cubs conventions since then. That hatchet has been buried.
