On the same day a part of the Cubs past inked a 6-year deal to remain on the South Side, a part of the organization's present signed a 4-year extension to stay in the Cubs' broadcasting booth along side of Len Kasper. According to a report in the Daily Herald by Barry Rozner, Bob Brenly signed a 4-year contract extension with the Cubs on Saturday reported to be worth in the "neighborhood of $3.5 million."
Rumors suggested Steve Stone might return to the Cubs booth if Brenly did not re-up with Cubs.
Bob Brenly will call games for the Cubs through the 2012 season.
Good for Bob! He's done a very good job here and he deserves his contract.
Makes me a happy dude.
I've fallen for the color commentary of that catcher loving son of a gun.
Him and Len have gotten better every year. They really grew on me late in 06 when it became obvious I couldnt enjoy the team. I learned to enjoy the PBP of those guys.
Good deal.
I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS AS MUCH AS ANYTHING. LEN AND BOB DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB. WE FORGET HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE 4 GUYS DOING OUR GAMES THAT ARE TOP NOTCH. I HAVE A BUDDY THAT IS A DIE HARD CARDINAL FAN AND HE GOES ON AND ON ABOUT THE JOB THEY DO. THANKS BOB FOR THE GREAT WORK AND GO CUBS.....
I wasnt a fan at all of Len and Bob but I agree they have grown on me.....
I will say however I would have preferred Steve Stone back in the booth....and I'm thinking the Cubs tried.....kind of ironic that his extension comes the day after Stone signed with the Sox......
