J-MAN Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Listening to the game on radio was awesome! Stone contributes soo much knowledge of the little things that make baseball fun is amazing. Looking forward to listening the rest of the season with better results. I am sure some of us will learn a lot of baseball from the broadcasts!

One of the biggest mistakes ever made was letting Larrivee go to the Pack. /hijack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Apr 1, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) Worse than Hawk...LOL in what way? Farmer's a good color commentator. As an play-by-play guy, he's mediocre. "Sucks" is a term reserved for people like Chris Singleton. Agreed about Stoney, though. He's probably the best color guy in baseball.

XM-related question for those with the satellite radio... Can you listen to MLB games online? My wife uses the XM radio in the car (she travels alot for work), and at the end of last season, I couldn't seem to find MLB games on the list of channels you can listen to on XM's website. It appears that I'll have to buy a second radio to use at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it every year so I can listen to games while downtown at work, because radio reception here is awful. I don't think you can get games on XM for this reason.

I've done the mlb.com audio before, but hoped that with XM (audio) and slingbox (video), I'd have everything I need for full online Sox-ticity.
