John Schriffen officially out, the search for the new PbP voice begins
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.

So not only does MLB get Tampa and Milwaukee, but it might be a sweep? Serves the bastards right for the lockout.

WSCR spent Scriffs entire tenure campaigning for his fire, and now acting sad is rich.

No, he just leaves his partner out to try for long periods of time during broadcasts when he doesn't feel like it anymore.

It wouldn't make me sad. Look when he started he did some great things to bring the Sox into the 21st century and internet era. The last few years have been filled with bizarre own goals missteps, lawsuits, and nothing that stands out in a positive way. A change might be nice.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Honestly the man behind all of this is the only reason I think this is something that is plausible in 6 to 8 years, and not a fantasy. Ishbia is already knocking down the barriers that the Bears have been tripping on for years. Dude know what is he doing.

I would be all right with that. He's definitely quality at what he does, and not a dude who needs training wheels.

Schriffen: "It's been an amazing three years". Implies that them calling Sox games together is over. Could Stone be on his way out?
Well, maybe one of these days we will be less predictable. Today is not that day.

There was a lot of time where he just iced him. It was worse with Schiff and Hawk, but especially if he was on a tangent filling time, he just left him out there alone. He was never willing to play along.

Honestly, given the choice I would have rather fired Stone. He's such an impediment to whoever he has worked with on a daily basis.

Now go get someone with some actual street cred, and not someone who is primarily concerned with the company line. This is one of the premier markets in all of the world. Let's act like it.

Let's look at the bright side - the Sox are going to have an absolute STAR in Caleb Bonemer
Better than the next Blago.

2026 Catch All thread:
When Milli Vanilli got caught lip-syncing, there was a lot of blame to go around. Ironically, though, no one blamed it on the rain.

Or that he's probably more like the next Jose Abreu.

Best and Worst vacation experiences
I have seen pieces of these things pop up in different threads, but with it being the Sox offseason, and maybe a really long one, I figured we could use some more non-fighting topics: This one is what are your favorite spots, places, things you have ever done for a vacation and what ones were the worst or most disappointing. My top so far was Hawaii. It was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It was the greenest greens of vegetation, the bluest blues for water, and the powerful natural beauty of things like volcanos, reefs, black sand beaches and everything else there... I never wanted to go home. The two worst I ever did were going to the top of the St Louis Arch, and going out to the historic site of the Hamilton/Burr duel. I talked about the arch in a different thread, but for the dueling site, I took a boat from midtown Manhattan out to Jersey to get there, I walked a bit and climbed some stairs from the port. There is a really basic park there, with a plaque that basically reads we think the duel happened right below here, but we aren't really sure. That's it. It's a pocket park on top of a cliff with some wild undergrowth below it. One of the biggest wastes of time ever.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
I sat on a planning board for 10 years, and I will never forget in a neighborhood that sits next to a factory and railroad tracks a developer came in and wanted to rezone an area that was heavy industrial coded, to build about a dozen new houses. I remember getting an any inquiry about how much traffic it would add to a quiet street, parking, etc. I told him, look as of right now, someone can come off of the street and build a full pledged factory or railroad facility there. Is that better or worse than some new neighbors. Then he had an epiphany that some new houses wasn't that bad.

It was on purpose, the colloquialism is I have no more fucks to give, in other words, I don't care anymore. AKA, it was a joke.

It also shouldn't be a big surprise. A little bit of power flex, mixed with a little bit of ego stroking. It's how these things get done.
