Friday Update

Friday, November 12, 2004

Cubs Convention Ticket Solicitation: Hi folks, I tried calling the Cubs on Monday to get Cubs convention tickets, but was unable to get through before the tickets were sold out in record time. I am hoping some of my readers will have an extra ticket. I will pay $100 for 1 Cubs Convention Pass. If you have an extra one, please email me: byron@thecubdom.com


In news regarding the Cubs broadcast booth... its looking good for me.

Brenly & O'Brien cont.

Excerpt from: It Might be, it could be O'Brien: ESPN voice top Cubs Candidate
By: Ed Sherman, Chicago Tribune, Friday, Nov. 12, 2004

O'Brien has emerged as the leading candidate to team with Bob Brenly as the Cubs' play-by-play voice on television, according to industry sources. He received permission from the Mets to begin talks with the Cubs on Wednesday. Indications are a deal could be finalized early next week.

...

However, it sounds as if it will take a major snag to keep O'Brien from coming to Chicago. He still has a year left on his deal with the Mets and ESPN, but it is unlikely either party would stand in his way.

...

"It has been an interesting week," O'Brien said. "I'm sure they are talking to some good people. It will be a phenomenal opportunity for whoever gets the job."
