Scwible Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hmmm.....I think I'll have to turn the radio on, I really like Stone and the insight he brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock4Life Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I can't imagine what that play-by-play is going to be like. I mean Stone always had somebody else do play-by-play as the lead plus he was on TV, don't have to be nearly as good. We all know Singleton has his issues with it, but from what I heard from people he got a little better in ST. Glad to hear Farmio's family is ok. A booth of Farmer/Singleton/Stone would be pretty cool to see (hear i mean), maybe too crowded for radio though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro1983hat Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Stone's ego is too big to do it full time or even part time. I look forward to hearing it though. However, Singleton's lack of skills will be even more obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSHAWKS Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Here's hoping Farmer takes an extended break, like, say, the whole season. I'd enjoy listening to Stone all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I have to listen to the game, unfortunately, but I'm excited now that Stoney is filling in... the guy's brilliant. My best to Farmio's family, hope everything's alright.

103 mph screwball Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Stone will raise Singleton's game. Stone has had to work with others who have required "patience". I like Farmer, but I did not like the way he would hang Chris out to dry last year. They did sound better in the spring. Eventually, I think Singleton will be fine. DJ and Stone would be a nice combo when Hawk decides to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Will be interesting to listen, but I hope this doesn't mean Singleton will carry the PBP load? Does Stone do any PBP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would much rather see Stone take over for DJ, but there is no f'ing way you would be able to fit those 2 huge egos in the same booth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Stone do any PBP? From what I heard Stone say on the radio this weekend, he's going to do most of the PBP. I'll have the sound down on the TV for this one. Stone's one of my favorites - I've been hoping he'll end up in one of the Sox' broadcast booths ever since he left the Cubs. Please let this be the crack in the door for him. Stone > Farmer any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that didn't take Stone down at all. I looked over in the booth today and Stone was doing a lot of talking. Mac, Jurko and Harry were kind of ripping on Singleton's work today. They said he needs to relax, before going on some tastless bit about wondering if Farmer's daughter signed her donor card, since Farmer is such a supporter and has benefitted from organ donation. It was pretty sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 IMO, Stoney and Singleton were the one bright spot in today's game. I think today proved that Singleton actually has some potential as an announcer and Farmer is holding him back at this point. He seemed more relaxed with Stoney, they were interacting well and Singleton was actually providing some solid commentary. I think Chris just gets a little uneasy around Farmer. If the Sox went to a permanent booth of Singleton/Stone, I'd never listen to Hawk again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for Singleton at all and I didn't care for him yesterday with Stone. He has absolutely nothing to offer. As another poster stated, Stone did a lot of the talking yesterday anyway.
