I wonder if this is set to coincide with his Hall of Fame induction.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

When did this douche Ed Sherman start a sports blog for Crain's? I guess I must have missed it when the Trib gave him the ax along with Downey and other sportswriter hacks.

That would be a loss for Comcast SportsNet, where Mr. Plesac handled the pre- and post-game analysis for Cubs telecasts. The left-hander is terrific in breaking down a game. I joined him a few times on "Chicago Tribune Live" and always came away impressed with his insights.

Mr. Plesac also is funny and entertaining, with a "lefty" sense of humor. He will be a good addition to the MLB Network.

As for other broadcast news, still no word on whether Darrin Jackson will move to the Sox radio broadcasts on WSCR-AM 670. DJ was pushed off television to make way for Steve Stone. He was offered the radio gig. It wouldn't be a surprise if Mr. Jackson also wound up on the MLB Network.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Dammit, I love Plesac. Well, I'm sure I'll be watching plenty of the MLB Network anyway, so that's cool. Great hire by them.

Good, I was getting tired of the big blue train and that stupid hat anyway.

It's confirmed as he's on CSN right now talking about it.
