Wow. That article explains why I grew up watching the Cubs. The White Sox weren't really around in the 70's. Sports Vision? It was like the old OnTV. We couldn't afford that.
You can bring in anybody, just get rid of Farmer and Rongey. Farmer is unbearable and Rongey insults fans too much ala Bernstein. If you don't like what a fan is saying, then you have the power to end the call and move on to the next caller.

New pbp guy with DJ would be nice.
I couldn't agree more. Get rid of the pre and post game host too.
I really hate to hear radio hosts berate and be rude to fans. Dude, you have the power. If a caller is rude, dump him and move on to the next caller.
The entire WSCR station reeks of Bernstein.

1 for 11, 6 K's to start the season. Hey, didn't we have a lefty 1B/DH last year, that could already do this? Granted, the 2015 version is a bit cheaper, though not by much.
What was his name again?
I think it's really REALLY stupid to get mad at a team or batter for "showboating". It's a freaking game. You're supposed to be amped up when you do something good. Football players jump around like kids when they make a play. Basketball players pump their fists and get excited after a play. PITCHERS pump their fists when they get a big strike out. A batter hits a home run and even looks at it too long, and stupid people get an attitude.
To hell with baseball and it's outdated and arcane unwritten rules. They should lighten up. It's a freaking game.
