Chip Caray and TBS Part Ways

December 1, 2009 by cubsnet

Chip Caray's decision to leave his position as Chicago Cubs play-by-play broadcaster following the bitter 2004 season, which also saw Steve Stone leave, has taken a turn for the worse: he and TBS have parted ways. The decision follows significant criticism of Caray's performance during TBS's 2009 playoff broadcasts, which certainly isn't the first time Caray has been criticized for his broadcasting (see here, e.g.).

This call, in particular, may have led TBS to seek to part ways:

1983 All Star Game in Chicago at Comiskey on MLB Network

June 7, 2009 by diana

The MLB network is airing highlights from old All Star Games including the one at Comiskey in 1983 that I attended with a friend.

I'll have to watch it closely to see if we show up anywhere in it.

I remember photographing the marching band and later some old timer baseball players on a golf cart. I wonder who they were...

Hope I can find those pictures some day.

If you were in that Marching Band, write to me in case I find those pictures.

I'd love to view more photos from this game. If you know of a site with more pics from the 1983 MLB All Star Game at Comiskey, please let me know!

Which Cubs telecast to choose ?

April 10, 2009 by diana

I have an odd issue here.

Sometimes our cable listings show more than one channel carrying the same Cubs game.

Now this really shouldn't be a problem, EXCEPT that usually one of those telecasts will be blacked out and I'm a time shifter.

Yep, I usually don't watch live television. I'm still very aware of the commercials and will rewind a show a bit to catch commercials with useful information or entertaining content.

Without time shifting it would be difficult to follow Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and all the available Cubs games and still somehow have a life.

My question is: Is the a pattern to which telecasts are most likely to not get blacked out?

Of course, our cable company won't add the actual MLB network programs until April 1. Perhaps this show will re-air...
