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.

I e-mailed the Score this morning and told them exactly how I feel, for what it's worth. If there's even the slightest chance of North getting this job, I want to make sure they know how I feel. As I understand it too, there's actually consideration being given to having Jessie Rogers do the pre and post game shows. f***ing unbelievable.

Eventually, you find most of those same personalities everywhere. Welcome aboard. Yep. That's exactly it in a nutshell. There are a lot of good members over there but I know there are here too. Thanks for the welcome.

As a long time member of WSI, I've come to disagree with some of the policies over there. The mood and the atmosphere over there are getting downright scary. I checked out this site and joined approx. 2 months ago. I've lurked ever since. About a month ago, I was suspended for a ridiculous disagreement with PHG over the usage of the phrase "big game". OK, whatever. Since then, I've continued to watch member after member get banned, and I've grown weary of it. I like what I've seen here and while at this time I'm not completely abandoning WSI, it's bound to happen. In the meantime....here I am.
