Don't scream for tradition when tradition has created zero championships in the past 100 years.
Someday, it has to get better kid. Someday.
In former Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly's words, his negotiations with the Cubs on a new deal this offseason just sort of fell apart.
Former Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly said that he was planning to return to the Cubs booth last year but it fell through at the last minute, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.
Len Kasper has a partner again.
The search for a Cubs TV color analyst seems to be down to five men. And in typical Cub fashion not a one of the names is terribly exciting.
The Cubs search for Bob Brenly's replacement might end sooner rather than later.
As WGN looks to fill the spot left by Bob Brenly after he bolted to Arizona to join the Diamondbacks' broadcast team last month, the network will reportedly interview former Cub Dan Plesac.
With former Cubs TV color analyst Bob Brenly off to Arizona, the search for his replacement is in full force.
When it comes to replacing Bob Brenly in the TV booth, the Chicago Cubs don't just need a color man for 2013.

In order to find a White Sox manager with an ego, image and reputation as large as the one that Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen currently carries in the Windy City – and, I'd say, nationwide – you have to hearken back a full quarter-century to the Comiskey Park reign of Tony LaRussa.
Just three days after Comcast Sports Net studio analyst Todd Hollandsworth blasted Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez on The McNeil and Spiegel Show on 670 The Score, Cubs television analyst Bob Brenly took his turn firing shots on the show by going after Carlos Zambrano.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro had an amazing start to his 2011 season. Through the first month of the season he had a .348 batting average with 18 runs scored, 12 runs batted in and two triples.
At 21-years old, Starlin Castro has reached the major leagues far sooner than anyone would have reasonably expected. It was his offensive talent that got him to this point, but his defensive abilities aren't too far behind.
