Just found out I'm having lunch with Ron Santo (and a few dozen other people) on Friday in the Cubs' Stadium Club. Santo was my favorite player when I was a yoot. He's also the worst broadcaster working in Chicago today. When the analysis of a bad play comes down to "Jeez!" and "Gosh!" it's time to find a different outlet for information on a game.

Top to bottom in Chicago for play by play or color are:

Steve Stone
Pat Foley (how many people even know who he is?)
Dale Tallon
Tom Thayer
John Rooney
Chip Carey
Neil Funk
Ed Farmer
Hub Arkush
Ron Santo

Clement tonight is the toughest matchup of the series. Which Clement shows up? We'll see at 7:05.
