SOUTHSIDE STAAAAAAND UP!!!!! RAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRRRR Exactly except I was in a frat and I resemble that statement. Frats that don't haze can be good IMO. His bosses should step in and say, 'Sorry but we didn't hire you to growl. Normally we wouldn't interfere but we simply ask you be professional. Please remove the growl from your repertoire. Thank you.' I hate to be this way but I also dislike Southside Stand Up. It's just not good broadcasting IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former resident of 103rd and Homan me no likey him referencing my southside. Has he ridden his bike from 103rd to 115th for Little League? No. Edited July 9 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he says "Southside standup" he is referring to fans that cheer for white sox. Some of you take everything literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Greg was playing little league in the 70s maybe 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel the southside is a place u have to have lived to own it. I'd rather someone else speak for southsiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be more neighborly. I just don't like the stand up southsider yell. I prefer more intellectual stuff, baseball stuff from the likes of Harry, Hawk, Stoney, Brickhouse, Pettit, Elstun, Farmer, DJ even Kaspar whose voice is kinda harsh. I respect Kaspar though.

supernuke Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I was watching the Tiger's game yesterday before flipping over to the Sox game. What a huge step backwards the Sox have taken in the booth. Schriffen is awful. I hope he gets better but I think I will choose the opposing broadcast more often than not for the rest of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The persona may have been an act but I think his passion for baseball and the White Sox was real. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shout that constantly at their games. It’s annoying as……. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not calling for his firing and I commend his getting such a good job at a young age. I just think screaming La Pantera and doing the Tony the Tiger growl is too much and sort of embarrassing and not worthy of an MLB broadcast.

JoeC Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Just listened to his call of Kopech’s immaculate inning. He should call it like that more. I enjoyed that delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Lip need to meet up at the St Catherine smoker. AJ and Hawk were awesome there. Small room of hardcore sports fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he gets better if he starts to know the game. The footprint of stupidity was pronouncing Veeck's name wrong. It's a first in my world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
