3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Just heard this on the Score. wow wow wow  Best to Singleton, I think he already sounded better this spring, got some potential (not at PBP though), I think the bigger issue is Farmer doing PBP, but Stone is a real nice positive to try and offset that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That's awesome! Â Best to Singleton. Always a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow. Any story about the details? Was Singleton fired, or did he quit? He is one of the nicest guys in baseball. I hope he lands on his feet. Â On the other hand, we are getting one of the best broadcasters in baseball. Hopefully he will make Ed Farmer listenable again.

southsideirish71 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) YES!!!!! Thank you WhiteSox. Â ESPN hired Singleton for BBTN and then he resigned from the radio. Edited March 4, 2008 by southsideirish71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'll really miss Singleton/Farmer. They had a weird chemistry, and it was pretty funny a lot of the times. Good luck to Singleton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If you ever watched a Fox game of the week, Singleton really did a great job, minus the dead weight that is Ed Farmer. He just really got stuck with a horrible partner. I am glad to hear that Singleton is moving up in the world. He is a nice guy and really deservers it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow...great news for those games when I'm stuck at work and having to listen on the radio. Stoney is awesome. I'm sure Singleton is a great guy, but I just couldn't handle him on the radio. I think he needed some more experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Wow, win-win situation all around! Singleton immediately improves BBTN as his analysis and demeanor is much better than Kruk or whomever ESPN rolls in and Steve Stone automatically improves the radio side 1000%! Congrats Chris, welcome aboard Stoney and my fellow White Sox fans, welcome to a professional radio broadcast!
