I don't know if this was mentioned anywhere, but Cory Provus is going to partner with Bob Uecker to do play by play for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. The previous guy, Jim Powell, is leaving to go to work with the Atlanta Braves.
Kind of cool that the 2 previous no names that have done the 1 inning gigs and score updates have both gone on to get MLB jobs. Says a bit for WGN and Pat.
Apparently Brewer fans are bitching about Provus getting the job because he grew up in IL, worked for the Cubs and is a Cubs fan. Of course, no one says shit about Wayne Larrivee, the Packers play by play guy, who worked with the Bears beforehand.
