Congrats to Michael Wrona. Very talented, i am sure he will do a wonderful job.
I do feel bad for Frank, i am sure he will handle this with the class he has displayed throughout his career.

Wrona's OK. I just can't get past the accent, especially after putting up with Denman all those years. I'm so friggin shallow.

At least it wasn't frank. Although I do hope he lands a job calling races. His handicapping on TVG is not good. Saw him hand out his "best bet" the other day that lost at 3/5.

I'm sure Frank will get the Golden Gate gig, since they are going need an announcer.

Battaglia retiring, so those gigs need someone. It is a shame he gambled and didn't get it. Gave up what could have been his job for decades to give it a whirl. But, he knew when he chose to do so that it might not go his way.
I am glad they decided tho, this had gone on longer than I thought it would.
