I didnt think it was that big a deal, but apparently, the media are running wild with this the last couple of days. If they start letting outfielders wear wireless headphones ...............

If they start letting outfielders wear wireless headphones ............... "Running wild with this the last couple of days."? Huh? The Tribune has a brief mention of it in the Cubs game recap today and the Sun-Times briefly mentions it in the Quick Hits. That is "running wild" with it? Man, you are paranoid.

Right now, dugouts have the phone with the wire. As far as I know, there isn't a single dugout otherwise. Using cell phones instead would make these wired phones useless, and would make it easier for the managers to keep in touch with the bullpen.

SoxFan76 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's pretty ridiculous. Sports radio and the Tribune are in love with this "new technology". Ahem, it's a cell phone. Everyone in America has one. Just another way for the Tribune company to make more money that doesn't go to the team. Hello Moto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and I've been here 2 days and I've seen more pointless Hangar bashing than I ever did at WSI. Grow up people. It's about the stupid excuses the media makes to cover the Cubs constantly. Everything they do is a "huge" story. Cell phones in the dugout? Big deal. Ozzie could call the bullpen on his US Cellular phone and call it "new technology". It's the same thing. (sarcasm-->)But you won't hear that because the Sox have no fans and the southside is full of gang bangers and there aren't enough bars around the park.
