whitesoxfan101 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 QUOTE (Wise Master Buehrle @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) Hate to break it to you, but that's not an exclusively St. Louis thing If you refer to bags as "corn hole", you have some issues. It's just like people who call pop "soda". Not good on either count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisoxt Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 QUOTE (Tdubb @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) Rooney is from Missouri and and huge Cardinal fan. After winning the series with the Sox here in Chicago and a position opening up with the Cards I really don't think Jerry could have done anything to keep him. That is bologna. There were two factors invlolved here. While the Sox liked Rooney, I do not think that they liked him that much to pay him a lot of cash to stay. They watched other popular announcers walk out the door before, so why not Rooney. Besides, the Sox typically do not have a history of paying a lot of money to announcers, Steve Stone being an exception perhaps. The other thing happening was that the Score was going to be the new radio home for the White Sox and recall that for a while, newly appointed program director, Mitch Rosen, wanted to make his own imprint on the Score and that he did. He brought in Chris Singleton and made Farmer the main play by play voice. Rosen, along with a cost cutting upper managment, made other wonderful moves at the station that they have since made up for by hiring back some of the same guys that walked out the door in years previous. So if the Score and the Sox wanted Rooney back, they could have made it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdiego Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hate Hawk. Wish Wimpy would come back someday for revenge and throw Hawk out of the booth(yes, literally). I Like Stone. Like Farmer, like the radio version DJ. And yes, I couldn't stand Rooney. Was too corny. (jumps in bush) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
