re: Which was the better overall product: Cubs/Sox on WGN or Braves on TBS?

As a television production, TBS. But any game at Wrigley is a more alluring draw. Remember, half the games are on the road.

WGN. I could always count on watching the Reds and the Cubs on tv. Some of my favorite memories were getting off the school bus in the late spring and catching the last few innings of the Reds-Cubs game.

TBS was fine, however nobody could best Harry, especially after he had a few drinks in him.

One other good memory- Reds pitcher Tom Browning leaving the dugout and and joining some Cubs fans on one of the rooftop bleachers.

I vote for TBS because the Cubs used to interfere with the after school watching of Saved by the Bell

Harry was never drunk during a game. It was an act. He did it to support the beer sponsors. He would drink after games, but he was never drunk or drank before or during a game he was announcing. Multiple people who knew or worked with Harry all say he was never drunk or drank during or before games.

And then there was Skip

Keeping up with the game , and following along with the comedic side show, usually in code to save their FCC license. Whoever was paired with Skip, usually Pete Van Weiren, was usually gold.
