Sleepy Harold Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Personally, I can't wait for Farmer to be off the radio. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I love listening to these guys. Brings me back to my childhood. I started watching Sox games with Hawk and DJ in the booth. I think Ed and DJ compliment each other very well and I hope they both stay on for a while longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Farmio is a horrible PBP guy. I can't wait until they get him the fuck off of the radio team. I don't even consider listening to games on the radio because he's so gawd awful at his job. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wayne Hagin and John Rooney were the best team I can ever remember...Gary Thorne was also pretty good, although he's even better at hockey. Dave Wills was the best pre-game host, didn't care much for Rongey. McKnight was "okay" I guess, neutral feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benetti and Stone are two smartass for me; both try to be to clever like two snarky smartasses. I’ll take Farmio and DJ over those two clowns any day. I love DJ and he tells it like it is.

Sleepy Harold Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Stone & Bennetti are much better than Farmer & DJ, and I wouldn't even consider it close, but to each his own. If I had a nickel for every time Farmer called for a HR (or a slam here, ask he likes to put it), I'd have a shitload of nickels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I was excited to get Hawk out of here but last year, Jason didn't really win me over. Tries too much to do one liners and be funny instead of just talking about the game. Hopefully when he is FT this year, he improves. I've been vocal about Farmer frequently. He is just too boring and monotonous to be a radio guy. Maybe we were spoiled by Rooney but a younger more energetic voice would be welcome on radio.

I don't even consider listening to games on the radio because he's so gawd awful at his job. My biggest issue with Farmer is that he openly hates his job on the air. Every single game he drones on and on about how long the previous game was and how late they got back to the hotel, how bad the travel is etc etc. You get paid to watch White Sox baseball. That's the best job in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was ever the team's fault. Everyone calling was a moron and didn't understand baseball (which was only true about half the time). And he's massive scumbag to boot. For as much of a self-important pseudo-intellectual as Rongey is, you'd think he was writing influential investigative journalism and not performing verbal analingus on a horrible baseball franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
