Randy Johnson and Tom Glavine (to a lesser degree) are the only two that would improve our chances of winning a World Series. I have my eyes on the prize, although I'm not so sure about others if all this Freddy Garcia talk is any indication.

You know, for a while there, he didn't write a damn thing about the Sox. But now he writes two columns in a row? What a whore.

Jose has his areas of excellence, like striking out and making errors. No, I'm just kidding. But then again, maybe I'm not.

I'm of the mindset that this division will be easily won by the Sox regardless of whether or not we acquire a serviceable veteran pitcher to man the 5th spot. Keep auditioning kids. Someone has to have some balls. Freddy Garcia is not going to improve our chances of winning a World Series. I mean, let's not kid ourselves. If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right. We'd need no less than one of the Top 20 starters in this league, which means that we'd have to give up a s***load of talent in exchange. The addition of a Top 20 starter could secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Our rotation would be lethal with all of our current starters moving back one slot. And while this could set us back somewhat in the long run, at least we'd be a legitimate candidate to win the World Series this year, and perhaps next year. And I hate to sound like a Cubs fan with all of this World Series talk, but like Hawk says, it is what it is.

Aren't they like 30 games out of first place or whatever?

Didn't he knock in a run that tied up the score at 3-3 in the eight inning last night?

And by the way, do you still think that Frank should sit? :finger

Yeah, you said this before. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are a genius.

You beat me to it!

Let's get this victory for Big Frank

Boers is very, very sharp though when it comes to snappy comebacks. I think that he got the best of Hawk. But you're right about Bernstein. He is about as smart as they come.

It all ended on a positive note, however. Hawk praised his basketball and football knowledge.

Boers: I am as dumb as a box of rocks, Hawk, but I do know a little something about baseball after all of these years. Hawk: I have friends who have forgotten more blah blah blah

Hawk: I get emails from people every day who have forgotten more about baseball than you'll ever know.

Well, Hawk keeps calling Boers an idiot over and over again. Boers and Hawk go back to the early eighties. Hawk said soemthing along the lines of: "You didn't know anything about baseball back then, and you don't know anything about it now. Guys like you, Bernstein, and Mariotti don't know a damn thing about it." But Boers has been firing back with some major firepower. Hawk was even studdering.

Boers: It's not moron, Hawk. It's dope! Hell yeah!

Wow! This is insane.

Hawk and Boers are having a war of words on the Score 670 right now! Priceless! Boy, Hawk has a lot of venom.

I love it when you analyze!

And I know that they cut him down constantly. They call him a fat ass, and what not. That's "Best Damn Sports Show" humor with Kruk and Tom Arnold. While Cubs fans burst out laughing, I change the channel with the quickness.

Happy birthday, Big Frank! Also, Happy Birthday to your evil twin Jeff Bagwell! They were born within an hour of one another, if I'm not mistaken. The similarities between the two are endless, including MVP awards in 1994 and current home run figures.

There you go- the HUGE show. Not good by any means, but the big dufus and Lou had voices for radio, and therefore, were more qualified than the 3 headed bozo squad. Although McNeil has a decent voice. I can't totally cut him down.

You've obviously never heard Mike's Ron Santo impression He does it almost every day. See, it's the little things like this that make the Mike North show worthwhile. When I tune into sports radio, I expect comedy. Not frat boy humor. Sports information? That's where READING comes into play.

To each his own, but they're about as unqualified as they come as far as I'm concerned. Their voices suck (especially Jurko). They're not funny at all. They play mainstream rap instrumentals (which might be the worst aspect of it). They're like the Sports Radio version of "Best Damn Sports Show". It's a radio show for frat boys. Cubs fans, basically. I've been listening to sports radio since the early 90s, and I'd have to say that they're the worst I've ever heard. Even that one guy who got mauled in Bridgeport was better than those guys. At least he had a voice for radio. Hell, Tommy Williams was better than all three of those guys combined, and he was on from midnight to 4 AM on the Score for a while there.
