"I Just Kill Me"

In a story I'm sure our friends over at Desipio will have a field day with, the Sun Times writes a story on Chip Carey's contract. It seems Chip has what is known as an "Evergreen" clause in his contract. Normally, that means a contract renews automatically on a certain date unless the Cubs expressly cancel the contract. Chip's works in reverse. If Chip isn't notified by the end of June that he's being retained, it cancels automatically at the end of the year.

Everyone is hush hush. That can only mean one thing: Chip is on his way out.

What I want to know is, "Who's on his way in?"

Bob Costas' name will get bandied about. Dunno if he'd give up his cushy HBO spots to do 162 live broadcasts. But, if it were up to be, DeWayne Staats should be brought back. He was a great talent, had chemistry with Stoney, and I've heard his voice on local radio gabfests lately. Could he be trying to raise his profile? One can hope.
