     I like Chip Caray a lot.  Like his Grandfather, he's very fan-friendly.  Yet, unlike his gramps, he's not a homer for the Cubs all the time.  Chip always gives a straightforward view on every aspect in the game and is never bashful about criticizing the Cubs whenever they don't meet their expectations.  With the obvious exception of Vin Scully,  I don't think there's a better broadcaster in the game today than Chip Caray.
     On the other hand, I've never fancied Skip Caray's style.  His voice sounds irritating to me, especially when he says, "Braves win, Braves win!!!".  Now, I don't mind that Skip is a homer for the Braves, but he always makes the team sound like it's all picture perfect.  His style is tailor-made for the Yankees and I wonder why George Steinbrenner never hired him.  Even Harry Caray found something wrong with his Cubbies once in a while.
