I wonder if this is set to coincide with his Hall of Fame induction.

When did this douche Ed Sherman start a sports blog for Crain's? I guess I must have missed it when the Trib gave him the ax along with Downey and other sportswriter hacks.

That would be a loss for Comcast SportsNet, where Mr. Plesac handled the pre- and post-game analysis for Cubs telecasts. The left-hander is terrific in breaking down a game. I joined him a few times on "Chicago Tribune Live" and always came away impressed with his insights.
Mr. Plesac also is funny and entertaining, with a "lefty" sense of humor. He will be a good addition to the MLB Network.
As for other broadcast news, still no word on whether Darrin Jackson will move to the Sox radio broadcasts on WSCR-AM 670. DJ was pushed off television to make way for Steve Stone. He was offered the radio gig. It wouldn't be a surprise if Mr. Jackson also wound up on the MLB Network.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Dammit, I love Plesac. Well, I'm sure I'll be watching plenty of the MLB Network anyway, so that's cool. Great hire by them.

Good, I was getting tired of the big blue train and that stupid hat anyway.

It's confirmed as he's on CSN right now talking about it.
