I don't care what demographic they are trying to attract, Mike North would be an absolute travesty.
Oft considered a second-rate sports station in Chicago anyway, why in the world would Score start off their relationship with White Sox broadcasting on this note? It just doesn't make a lick of sense. Do they not understand Rooney's talent and all he brings with him to the booth? Do they not understand the shrivel of White Sox tradition we fans are hanging on to? Or, do they simply look at the bottom line and throw everything else out the window?
It is really a very tragic turn of events.
You know, I was all for the switch to 670 due to having resided in Wisconsin up until recently. Too many nights, even in Lake Geneva, AM 1000 came in like crap and the station would fade out in the middle of a Sox or Bulls game. The idea of a stronger signal just makes way to much sense. However, when this thing was finalized, my first thought was, implode the station. Get rid of all those jackasses. Because, I feared s*** like this. This is becoming like a nightmare, for crissakes.
