That was such a weird flex. Like I'd rather not make it all versus lose? No way.

I think we would be out of our minds with joy if we made it to the World Series this year. Of course nobody wants to lose but come on lol

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Ald. Lee seems to realize this isn't going to stop the project: “We should not have had to scream, fight and pound on the doors of power just to get the basic transparency about the environmental effects this plan could have on our residents,” Lee said in a statement. “No matter what this environmental study produces, our concerns about noise pollution, economic impact and other issues remain unaddressed.” Chicago Sun-TimesAmtrak's Bridgeport railyard to get environmental review...The Federal Railroad Administration said the review should be completed by the end of the year.

He put his foot in his mouth a lot and along with other issues kind of killed his career.

Stephen Nelson should be the choice. Big White Sox fan and is currently the #2 Dodgers pbp guy when Joe Davis is out. Offer him the #1 White Sox job and I can't see him turning it down.

I listen almost exclusively to the radio team and Len and DJ are outstanding imo.

I was only there for Pope night and it was still a great sandwich.....I did get it quicker than usual though. Kinda sad if quality is going down for not cooking it long enough.

If you discount spending, there is literally no one better than Milwaukee and Tampa. Its the World Series we deserve, even if it isn't the one everyone wanted. No teams do more with less than these two.

Looks like you are right. I did some searching and he has since made all of his social media private and has left the radio industry for now. He has been a manager at BLVD Steakhouse Chicago since May.

This. Look, the whole wildcard thing who will say anything is great until he makes a headline for burning down your own product. Plus with AJ seeming to burn those bridges, I am not sure he ever comes back, but who knows. He does seem to do a great job nationally where he doesn't have to say as much.

I am OK with Connor being the fill it. He's OK. He's vanilla, but he can manage to fill in for a weekend kind of a thing. I will even go so far as to call him Perfectly Fine. The deal is the #1 guy should be better than Perfectly Fine. I don't care about #2 or #3 like that.

It's a schtick. They do the whole, say outrageous things to get attention thing that they learned from the big guys, and try to make it work themselves. It rings hollow if it isn't authentic, which is the biggest problem with the Score. Everything is a hot take designed to maximize feedback, not an intelligent take made to explain something.

I saw in a separate post literally everyone else is back, including Brook Fletcher. Stone is back, as is Len and DJ on the radio. I guess the only thing I didn't see mentioned is pre and post game.

Riordan kind of killed his radio career. He thought he was bigger then what he is....

Yep, I remember this. Now both guys from this article are out of jobs. Speaking of tenuous job security, has Shane Riordan even gotten another gig yet? Awful AnnouncingJohn Schriffen escalates 670 The Score feud with 'awful r...The ongoing feud between John Schriffen and 670 The Score shows no signs of abating, fueled by Schriffen's criticism of their reporting.

Not sure if it is just all talk but Kasper has mentioned how he loves radio now and thinks it’s a perfect fit for him. But money talks…

Eh, I took that first call in as nobody knew each other, I didn’t feel their dislike for him until after that show. Nobody knew who Schriffen was when he got that job and it was a curiosity for everyone. Then he stepped in it, called for the Sox to surprisingly compete, and then talked s%*# during a game and it was over over. After he talked s%*#, they never got over it. Which is hilarious considering the s%*# they talk daily and expect people to just take and move on

It’s got to be either Randazzo or McKnight

True, but he was viewed poorly by them before he ever even started. I’m not sure what he could have ever done to really get them to like him, and then he took it personally and it imploded.

McKnight is already a CHSN employee and obviously did a bunch of TV for them last year, he has to be under strong consideration. I also thought it was mildly interesting that in his statement, Boyer said "this is the appropriate time to evaluate the direction of our broadcasts" Going plural there could indicate they are also looking at the radio booth, and have a guy in Kasper that has plenty of TV experience. Just given the history of ownership, plus them maybe feeling burned by trying an "outside" hire in Schrif, they go in-house with the new hire.

His first call in was absolutely disastrous, I heard it. He did himself no favors that first season

I have watched the Brewers while the Sox were losing nightly. I would have been fine having lost to the Brewers. Is there a better run organization in sports right now.
