Not impressed at all. I hope they don't give him the job just because he is Bob Sirott's nephew. This is the big leagues and they need to put in somebody who has a little bit more baseball knowledge.

: Another bad thing today: being out and about for a while, I heard the middle innings of this game on the radio. WGN's Blackhawks studio host Judd Sirott, nephew of longtime Chicago broadcast personality Bob Sirott, did the middle innings as an audition, presumably, to replace Cory Provus. Maybe he was nervous, but I didn't care for him. His delivery is high-pitched and nasal, too high for baseball, although he did hockey games (the Wolves) for many years. He also said it was at the end of 5 1/2 innings, when it was really the middle of the fifth. I think the Cubs have to go back to the pile of audition tapes for this slot.
