Ok, fellow Cubs fans... it is that part of the year once again!

When the "buddy -- buddy" series between the Atlanta Braves and our slumping Chicago Cubs begins.

And of course they have our old commentator Chip don't call me Skip Caray...

So I pose this question to you my fellow depressed, some probably suicidal Cubs fans...

Who ya GOT???

Len Kasper or Chip Caray???

Chip all the way....i love the way that guy calls games, even when the Cubs were losing i could still listen to what chip and steve were rambling on about and it was always entertaining. I'll tell ya what though since Chip isnt coming back, the broadcast tandem i really wish we could get are Sutton/Grace. I always liked Sutton when watching the Cubs play the Brewers.

Chip's probably on radio. Skip's on the TV now.

I'm voting for Chip based entirely on the fact that if the cubs ever have a no hitter going Len has to talk about it every 5 minutes until they blow it.

mmm I liked Chip I liked his upbeat attitude kinda sorta like his grandfather. I also noticed if you ever listened to the call of when the Cubs won the 1984 and 2003 division tiitle they basically said the same thing, I was like woah!! so my vote goes for Chip.

I liked Chip... I liked Chip when I was in college and he was an announcer for the Orlando Magic. I remember when he left Orlando to take the job in Cihcago. Len's okay, but Chip is missed...

I loved listening to Chip. He and Stone were the announcers when I first really got into baseball. However, if he really loved the Cubs as much as he claimed, nothing would've made him go to Atlanta. So I voted for Len.

I have to admit, I was really turned off by Len and Bob their first season. They didn't have the "chemistry" Steve and Chip...or Steve and Harry for that matter, ever had. They couldn't get the names right. They had no "history" with the team to talk about. We heard over and over about the Diamondbacks with Bob. By the end of the season, they had gotten much better. I went back not too long ago and watched the season opener where it was their first game. They have come so far, and Len has definately become a fan of the team and it is not just becuase it is his job.

It was nice having Chip in the booth... it was like a little piece of Harry was with us each game. However, I love Len's enthusiasm and spunk.
