While taking a break to come inside from mowing, just tuned into Cubs baseball on WGN. Announcers Jim Deshaies and Len Kasper are having fun, inserting music clips (mostly 80's stuff, I missed the beginning of the game but am sensing a theme) into the broadcast.

They've had fun with Rick Astley, Nena, and a couple of other 80's acts, and Kasper has cleverly worked song titles and band names into his play-by-play.

I'm all for guys doing things outside the box during broadcasts of sports, and it's really not distracting from the game, which makes it even better.

Good job by Len and Jim, it's entertaining!
