Sad news that Bob Brenly is leaving the Cubs TV booth. I've thoroughly enjoyed Bernly's commentaries over the past eight years and will miss them. I hope the Cubs come up with someone who is equally knowledgeable and honest. I sure hope it isn't Kerry Wood.
It's hard to say now whether he was pushed out or just left for greener pastures or a job closer to home. Watching truly awful baseball here since 2009 might be a factor as well. Or it could be that he feels uncomfortable in the booth with his son advancing through the Cubs minor league system and potentially reaching the majors sometime in the future. He has said as much in the past, although, to be honest, Michael Brenly hasn't shown too much beyond some early success in low A-level ball to project as anything more than a good defense/no offense sort of catcher.
