Pete McMurray to Sing 7th Inning Stretch

From today's RAMP newsletter...

Be Very Afraid: After working the crap out of the Chicago Cubs organization for the better part of a year, WGN/Chicago evening entertainer Pete McMurray has some huge news, as he tells RAMP, "The Cubs finally agreed to let me sing 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' during the 7th inning stretch this Friday!" [cue crickets]... As if that particular development wasn't disturbing enough for all of those unsuspecting (and long-suffering) Cubs fans, McMurray shares the alleged "added value" of this news, saying, "There was one stipulation -- the entire WGN night crew will be singing." Yes, in addition to McMurray's non-Grammy-nominated voice, he will be joined by the questionable vocal talents of late-night personality Patti Vasquez and overnight delight Nick Digilio.

This was probably their last chance. The Cubs will be with WBBM next season.
