Back to the Chicago White Sox Newsfeed

Winners and losers from Cubs and White Sox opening day, including Boog Sciambi on Marquee Sports Network, Jason Benetti and Steve Stone’s harmony on NBC Sports Chicago and ... RIP Eloy Jimenez?

Any announcer who drops a quote from the 1987 film “Broadcast News” into a telecast, as Boog Sciambi did in his regular-season debut as TV voice of the Cubs, is OK with us.

With baseball people and fans acutely aware of pitch counts, it makes no sense for Marquee to show it sporadically. Sciambi said the new graphic was “like The Clapper,” popping on and off screen during the Cubs game.

White Sox announcers Jason Benetti and Steve Stone mesh so well they should try singing something besides an ad jingle.
