Three more years? And I thought Soriano’s contract was too long. I need to get a job with the cubs.

I truly believe he should be in the Hall of Fame. He has the numbers, it's time folks, just vote him in already!! But please....get him out of the broadcast booth. He is not the voice of the Cubs and doesn't speak for me (or any Cub fan that I know). The whining has to stop. The rambling has to stop. Hey Ron - Shut up already. Poor Pat Hughes has to not only do all the announcing, then he has to repair all of Ron's blunders. I used to love listening to the game on the radio, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game. It must have been before Ron took the booth.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('46873','Ali'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('46873','Ali','As a Cub fan, I\'ve felt guilty about my feelings about Ron Santo.

It's amazing that a city like Chicago could have some of the absolute worst out there. Len and Bob are major ass kissers, Santo and his cheerleader/whining are an embarrassment and even Sox fans hate the Hawk.

Pat Hughes is a good announcer, but not "the best in the game" as many Cubs fans think he is. Santo is, of course, the worst single TV or radio announcer/analyst in the game. The TV team stinks, too -- talk about bland. Len Casper's voice is not cut out for TV or radio, he's as bland as plain toast, and Bob Brenly is just an ass kisser who would do a much better job if he stopped trying to be "friendly Bob".<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('45493','Lee Elia'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('45493','Lee Elia','The Cubs have, overall, lousy broadcast teams.

That was alright cause Harry was deserving of respect. He earned it! The same goes with Ron Santo. Just look at Ron as Harry and Pat as Steve. Maybe if Ron gets elected into the Hall of Fame a massive freight train can be lifted off his chest. As Cubs fans lets help Santo get elected into the Hall! I have created a petition in the hopes that the veterans committee who might have any doubts about voting for Ron Santo would see the baseball player, the broadcaster and the beloved Chicago icon who deserves to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

I'd rather someone be passionate in the booth over politically correct. I'd rather have someone who actually is a Cub's fan. When he moans and groans in the booth, he is only doing what 99% of actual fans are doing..including me! When he hoots and hollers, he is expressing exactly how I feel. Who cares if he is professional. I want someone who is authentic.
